Congregational Praying
The Almighty Allah created Human with free will and the reason of the creation is reaching perfection, happiness, worshipping and getting closer to the Almighty Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has created free and has determined the purpose of his creation to achieve happiness, perfection and nearness to God. Human does not reach near God unless he wants to get closer to God through worship.
Worship is the comprehensive title for everything that God Almighty loves and is satisfied with, and it is rooted outward and inward deeds. (Al-Badri 1423 AH, 4) And Worship is humility, obedience and submission to the Almighty Allah’s commands. Worship brings human closer to the Almighty Allah, and it will be more effective to be performed by thought and reflection; In such a case, human will get the most efficiency out of it. Some of the praying which has special effects on society, has already been mentioned. Those worships are part of the complete set of Islamic worships, such as prayer, fasting, zakat, Hajj, performing limits (A Set of Rules Arranged by Allah), enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, etc., some of their social benefits are: 1- Preventing prostitution and evil; 2- It causes social efficacy. 3- Facilitating social relationships; 4. It gives Equality and brotherhood lessons; 5- reduction of moral crimes; 6- Gaining patience in social relationships; 7- Helping the poor and sympathize with them; 8- Putrefying incomes; 9- Taking one’ right; 10- Surviving on the Day of Resurrection. 11- Preventing the destruction of society. 12- Stay hopeful and encouraged for the future; 13- Reforming the society 14- Enmity and so on.
Congregation praying is the one that is not performed individually or does not give a complete recompense. Those worships, which create social unity, facilitate and strengthen the relations of individuals from different ethnicities in a society. All participants in those congregation worshiping feel equal to the One Creator and are aware of each other’s situation and feel responsible for each other. Those worships have reformed the society from moral and social corruption, and unite everyone to resist against aggressors and defend their religion, homeland and national honor.
The unaware of the Western leaders from the principles and the Holy Religion of Islam, think that by removing the verses of jihad from the Holy Quran, which is absolutely impossible, might probably because other Muslims lose the ability to defend their society or will be easily dominated by the West. All the precepts of Islam are related with one another and they are pure right, and lack any rupture. Monotheism, worship, transactions, politics, economy, etc. are all intertwined and complement of each other. Enmity is well-understandable in each of them.
Those who disperse Muslims are known as hypocrites by the holy religion of Islam. Religion has more severe punishment to the hypocrites than the infidels. Hypocrites are mostly called Muslims who think of destroying the Islamic society and working full time for the benefit of the enemies of their society. They are trying to disperse the united of Muslims communities and instead of being hostile, they turn to worship hostility.
