Asalamu Alykum

I would like to know how much more reward does a person get for praying in  Jamaat in the Mosque than by praying alone at home.

Thank you for your time

Answer:

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah

The prayer done in Jamaat in a mosque is rewarded 25 times more than if prayed alone

Narrated By Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The prayer offered in congregation is twenty five times more superior (in reward) to the prayer offered alone in one's house or in a business centre, because if one performs ablution and does it perfectly, and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for each step which he takes towards the mosque, Allah upgrades him a degree in reward and (forgives) crosses out one sin till he enters the mosque. When he enters the mosque he is considered in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer and the angels keep on asking for Allah's forgiveness for him and they keep on saying: 'O Allah! Be Merciful to him, O Allah! Forgive him, as long as he keeps on sitting at his praying place and does not pass wind.

Assalaamu-Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullah

Zakat is a tax that is levied on Muslims that meet a certain criterion
It is to be be given to the poor and needy.
Government institutions and charities are not automatic beneficiaries of Zakat, unless the Zakat is given direct and fully to the poor on your behalf.

The Ahl al-Bayt cannot be given Zakat due to there special station although other forms of monetary help can be afforded them
It is also not allowed to give Zakat money to Mosques based on the first principal.  The only other instance where Zakat can be given to a mosque is, if it spends that money on its resident students, as they are considered wayfarers in the way of Allah.

May Allah give you success

If the muazzin forgets in the aqamat or make a mistake without realizing, does he have to start again or is it still valid.

Answer: Walaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullah.

If the muezzin makes a mistake or forgets his lines, he should stop and correct himself from where he thinks the mistake had been made. If the pause between lines becomes greater than what is normally expected, then he should start again from the beginning.

May Allah give you success.
