English Translation of Al-Quran
[8]. Surah Al-Anfal [The Spoils of War]
Ayat 2. The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur'an) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone);
Ayat 3. Who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and spend out of that We have provided them.
Ayat 4. It is they who are the believers in truth. For them are grades of dignity with their Lord, and Forgiveness and a generous provision (Paradise).
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The
Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, I
sometimes thought of giving orders for firewood to be collected, then for
proclaiming the Adhan for Salat. Then I would appoint an Imam to lead Salat, and
then go to the houses of those who do not come to perform Salat in congregation,
and set fire to their houses on them.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Anfal Ayat 2 "His Verses (this Qur'an) are recited unto
them, they (the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their
Lord (Alone); and Ayat 3. Who perform As-Salat
(Iqamat-as-Salat)
.
This
Hadith shows utmost importance of Salat in congregation and also is quoted by
such people who hold that those who are physically fit, resident and have no
valid reason for not coming to the mosque for Salat, for them Salat in the
mosque (Jama`ah) is a must. Some people are of the view that it is Sunnah
Mu'akkadah (an established Sunnah, hence compulsory) and they take such Ahadith
for inducement because if performance of Salat in congregation was obligatory,
those who missed it would have been punished by the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH), but we do not
find any instance of it in his life. It clearly shows that it is Sunnah. If we
go by logic, this view seems to be more correct. But we cannot, at the same
time, lose sight of the importance that has been attached to the Salat in
congregation especially the fact that it is 27 times more rewarding than the
Salat offered individually. This Hadith also tells us that it is permissible to
take criminals and sinful people from their homes by surprise.
