The Excellence of Congregational Prayer

SUMMARY: Prayer said in a congregation is more excellent than prayer said by a single person.

Ibn Umar reported Allah's Messenger assaying: Prayer said in a congregation is twenty-seven degrees more excellent than prayer said by a single person.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ صَلاَةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْفَذِّ بِسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً

Pray in congregation
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of congregational prayer and its superiority over individual prayer. It was reported by Ibn Umar that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that congregational prayer is twenty-seven degrees more excellent than individual prayer. This means that when people come together to pray, their reward for doing so is multiplied many times over compared to praying alone. This encourages Muslims to come together and pray in congregation as it has greater rewards and blessings from Allah SWT. Additionally, it also serves as an opportunity for Muslims to build strong bonds with one another through shared worship and devotion towards Allah SWT.
