O God, forgive everyone who reads it and all Muslims. May God reward you all with goodness. 💚
The virtue of praying in congregation (Isha and Fajr):
'Uthman bin 'Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: "One who performs 'Isha' prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat for half of the night. And one who performs the Fajr prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat the whole night." [Muslim: 656]
