The bigger the Jamaat the more the reward.

[Sachaa Muslim]

 The bigger the Jamaat the more the reward

 

 

 

Hadhrat Qubaath bin Ashyam Allaithi (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that he heard the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) saying, " Two persons performing Salaat together will one as Imaam are liked by ALLAH more the four persons saying salaat individually. Similarly four persons performing salaat with Jamaat are liked by Allah more than eight persons saying it individually. Similarly again, eight persons performing salaat with Jamaat are liked by Allah more than one hundred persons saying it individually." (Tibrani)

 

 

In another hadith it is said, "A big Jamaat is more prefered by Allah than a small Jamaat." Some people think that there is no harm in having a small Jamaat of their own at their houses or at their business premises. This is not correct, as in the first place they are deprived of the reward of saying salaat in the musjid and secondly, they lose the blessing of salaat with a big Jamaat. The bigger the congregation, the more pleasing it is to Allah. When our sole aim is to achieve the pleasure of Allah, why should we not adopt a manner more pleasing to Him. It is reported in a hadith that Allah is pleased to see three things, namely, a row of worshippers offering salaat with Jamaat, a persor, busy in salaat at the time of Tahajjud at the dead of night, and a person fighting in the way of Allah."
