Jamm’at is when muslims gather to make salah in
which one is the Imam who leads and the rest are muqtadee who follow him; there
is great reward for jamm’at.
1) Sayeduna Anas (Radi Allahu anhu) narrates
that the Beloved Prophet (Swall Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever reads
Salah with Jamm’at for forty days with the first takbeer * ; two salvations
will be written for him: one from hell and one from hypocrisy.”
2) Sayeduna Abdullah bin Umar (Radi Allahu anhu)
narrates that the Beloved Prophet (Swall Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Salah
with Jamm’at is twenty-seven times greater than salah prayed alone.”
3) Imam Muhammad Gazali (Rahmatullahi Alaih)
says, “Salah was so important to oursalafsaliheen [pious predecessors] that if they missed the
first takbeer they would mourn for three days and if anyone missed jamm’at then
they would mourn for seven days.” (Mukashifatol Quloob)
4) Sayeduna Maymoon bin Mahraan (Rahmatullahi
Alaih) came to the masjid. He was told that the jamm’at has finished. Upon
hearing this, he sadly said, “The fazilat(auspiciousness) of this [jamm’at] is better
than ruling over Iraq .” (Mukashifatul Quloob)
5) Sayeduna Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu anhu)
narrates that the Beloved Prophet (Swall Allahu alaihi wasallam) said, “If the
people knew what was in the [calling of] Azaan and [being a part of] the first saf [row of jamm’at] then they would not get it
without drawing names. So they would draw names [i.e., they would compete for
the honor of these two acts]. (Bukhari)
Thoughts and Points
6) Jamm’at is compulsory for every sane and
mature man who has the ability to pray salah. It is very important for the
people living in the vicinity of the masjid to attend the jamm’at.
7) To move closer to a masjid or madarsa with
the intention of getting Jamm’at is a very commendable action. May Allah give
us the taufeeq to keep our Masjids and Madarsas filled. In fact, keep this in
mind when moving or buying a house.
8) If you live so far that you can not drive or
walk to the masjid or madarsa comfortably then make time to come for jamm’at
atleast once or twice a day or week or more[based on distance and means of
travel] to atleast earn the reward of coming for and praying with jamm’at.
10) One should not think ‘I can’t make it for
Jamm’at, I am too busy with school or work and family, this if from the Shaitan
or our ill-Consciouss. If you make the intention and effort, Allah-willing, the
hardships will go away.
11) Stand in the saf (rows) shoulder to shoulder so that there is no
space left imbetween.
12) To wait for Salah has been called “Salah,”
so be punctual for the Salah.
* First takbeer which is also called Takbeerul
