7 points concerning praying in congregation

Dear Islamic brothers! Let us listen to 7 points from the Amir of Ahl al-Sunnah’s written Madani Muzakarah, in which he discusses offering salah in congregation.

1. If one fears prolonged sleep, he should not use a pillow or mattress. Sleeping without a pillow and mattress is Sunna.

2. Before sleeping, keep the heart attached to the thought of prayer in congregation, as sleep in a state of concern is not heedless.

3. Eat the night meal early, so that the effects produced by the food dissipate and do not lead to lengthy sleep.

4. The best treatment is to eat less. Eating to a full stomach and then expecting to stand in prayer for the entire night, is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Whoever eats a lot, drinks a lot. Whoever drinks a lot, sleeps a lot. Whoever sleeps a lot loses much goodness.
