💡 Explanation: Praying alone is good, but praying together in the mosque is far better — twenty-five times better, the Prophet (SAW) tells us. It also brings Muslims together, strengthens the community, and helps us keep our prayers on time. When you can, go to the mosque and pray with others.

💡 Remember:

Praying alone is good, but praying together in the mosque is far better — twenty-five times better, the Prophet (SAW) tells us.
