Question

what is the reward of praying in jamaat, but not in the mosque?

Answer

1. Gambling is strictly prohibited in the Shari'ah. Allah Ta'ala says in the noble Qur'aan, 'Oh you who believe! Verily . gambling . is evil. So abstain from it.'

2. To perform Salaat with Jamaat is 25 times more virtuous than performing Salaat individually. However, it is compulsory for males to perform Salaat with Jamaat in the Musjid.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
