Summary
This irsyad explains that the mosque shows equality because all worshippers pray with the same movements and stand in rows without distinction of rank, status or skin colour. Whoever arrives early may take the front row. Congregational prayer is more virtuous than praying alone by 25 or 27 degrees, and those who prosper the mosque are working people who are not distracted from remembrance of God, prayer and zakat. The mosque is encouraged to be filled with knowledge, spirituality and cooperation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat berjemaah lebih utama daripada solat secara bersendirian dengan perbezaan 25 atau 27 darjat.
