Congregational Salat

Moyenuddin Sirajee, Qa’id Tarbiyat

This year, the main goal of the Tarbiyat department of Majlis Ansarullah USA is to increase participation in Congregational Salat. In this regard, the department prepared the following step by step action for officeholders of local Majalis that they may follow to achieve this goal. It is being shared with the members so that they too may benefit from it.

  • Lead by example: A Za’im and Muntazim Tarbiyat should be regular in offering congregational Prayers in the mosque or Salat center.
  • Pray that Allah help us improve our status of offering congregational Salat.
  • Za’im should encourage local Ansar Amila members to be regular in offering congregational Salat, periodically assessing the status of the Amila members in this regard.
  • Visit various Salat centers (if any) in local Majlis and motivate Ansar to be regular in congregational Salat.
  • Perform a geographic survey of the mosques and Salat centers in relation to members’ homes in the Majlis. If necessary, try to establish new Salat centers after discussing with local President and missionary.
  • Share the motivational quotes posted on "Ansarullah USA" WhatsApp group with local members.
  • Communicate with Qa’id Tarbiyat and discuss the progress of the local Majlis, share inspirational stories of members or any difficulties faced and seek his help if needed.
  • Collect "Congregational Prayer Attendance" data for planning and reporting purposes.
  • Seek guidance from local missionary and invite him to the Ansar monthly meeting to offer insight about importance of congregational Salat.

Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (may Allah be his helper) has been urging us to regularly offer Salat in congregation. Let’s say Labbaik to the call of our beloved Imam.
