**Summary of Congregational Prayer:**

The congregational prayer, or Salah, is a fundamental practice in Islam where Muslims come
together to pray in congregation. It is performed in the mosque, led by an Imam. This prayer is highly
recommended and carries numerous virtues in Islam. It fosters unity, brotherhood, and spiritual
growth within the Muslim community. The congregation follows the Imam's movements in prayer,
