Congregational Prayer: صلاة الجماعة

The Congregational prayer is one of the most important outward manifestations of Islam. Prayer is of extreme importance to the well-being of a person's religion. But prayer in Islam is more than just an individual spiritual experience. It is meant to be performed in a congregation - the foundation of Muslim society as a whole. In this work, Dr. Al-Sadlan has done an excellent job of discussing the most important fiqh topics related to the congregational prayer. The following topics are covered in this work: the wisdom behind the congregational prayer, the place for performing the congregational prayer and the virtues of attending the mosque, the legal status of the congregational prayer, repeating a prayer in congregation, performing salaat at-Taraweeh or Ramadhaan in congregation, women performing the congregational prayer and many other topics.This book is essential reading for all Muslim leaders and Imaams.
