*   According to various survey reports, religious people (those who participate in Friday prayers, congregational prayers, and other religious gatherings) are less likely to suffer from psychological problems compared to non-religious people.

*   Depression, which is a major issue in today’s world, is one of the leading causes of high blood pressure, kidney diseases, and heart attacks. According to a survey, religious people who attend gatherings are largely protected from depression.

*   Since these people are aware of others’ difficulties and pains, they possess greater sentiments of goodness, kindness, and social welfare.

*   Suicide is also a major issue in the world today, and suicide rates are continually rising. Religious gatherings are an important means to prevent this crime. Essentially, those who feel hopeless in life, who believe that there is nothing left for them and that all doors and paths have been closed, often choose the path of suicide. The benefit of religious gatherings is that:

*   They broaden one’s thinking.

*   New opportunities in life become apparent.

*   Life gains a purpose.

*   By mingling with good, upright people, the burden on the heart is lifted.

*   It helps one cope with sorrows and difficulties.

In this way, a person who had given up hope in life can gain a new sense of enthusiasm, passion, and motivation to continue living.
