Populating our mosques and salat centers

Discussion Any comments on the Title of this presentation? Populating our mosques and salat centers

From Friday sermon dated 20 Jan 2017 While it is given that offering Salat is obligatory on every Ahmadi, but along with that as per the Holy Prophet’s (peace be upon him) instructions the congregational prayers are obligatory on every able Muslim man. The Jama’at organization should also keep reminding people about congregational prayers. They should convey the message of the importance of congregational prayer over and over again to each member of Jama’at.

What exactly is congregational prayers? Salat cannot be acceptable before Allah the Almighty unless it is offered in congregation (by males) except than that a person is sick or disabled Hadhrat Musleh Maud (ra), 1946
