Abstract

The research is summarized in prayer, its legitimacy and the wisdom of its legislation, that prayer is the way to reach the satisfaction of God Almighty, especially that the Muslim stands in it five times while he is conversing with God Almighty and calling upon Him.

It is a very close connection between the servant and his Lord that no one can interrupt, and prayer is a physical act of worship, because it includes standing, kneeling, prostrating, and other well-known forms of prayer, in addition to being a heart worship through which God Almighty is glorified. And in the words of the Messenger, it is the pillar of religion and the first thing for which the Eid will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection, when the Messenger said: “The covenant that is between us and you is prayer, so whoever abandons it has committed disbelief.” In this age, we find that prayer is closely linked to psychological comfort and happiness.  If he is affected by worries and sorrows and problems accumulated on him, all you have to do is to turn to God Almighty by asking Him in prostration and reverence and enjoying it.

Among the benefits of social prayer is the affirmation of the collective belief of the members of society and its strengthening in themselves and in organizing the group in its cohesion around this belief.

In congregational prayer, there are many profound benefits, the most important of which are the manifestation of equality, strength of one class, unity of word, training in obedience in common or common issues by following the Imam in what pleases God Almighty and heading towards one goal and a noble and lofty goal of winning the pleasure of God Almighty.  Their closeness and cooperation in righteousness and piety, nurturing interest in the conditions and conditions of Muslims in general, supporting the weak, the imprisoned, the suspects and those who are absent from his family and children, and prayer distinguishes a Muslim from others, so it is a way of trust and trust.

God grants success
