It is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned our purpose of existence as O maa khalaqtu l-jinnah wa l-insa illa liyaabudu. Allah said I have not created the insaam and the jinn for anything other than my worship. So the purpose of our existence is to worship Allah subhanahu ta'ala. Now Allah subhanahu ta'ala made that so easy that any action that we do with the intention of pleasing Allah even though the action may be something that we need to do we choose to do we find pleasure in doing and so on but if this action is done with the intention of pleasing Allah meaning that it is done in the way that Allah subhanahu ta'ala has commanded it is done according to the orders of Allah then this action itself becomes rewardable it becomes an action of worship an action that is to be rewarded. We have the famous hadith of the Prophet Muhammad where he said if you when you have a relationship physical relationship with your spouses Allah will reward you for it. So the sahibs said Ya Rasulullah we when we do that when we have a physical relationship with our spouses this is something we do for our own pleasure. So will we be rewarded for this? Nabi sadawala sadawala said if you did that in a way which is haram meaning if you did that physical relationship with somebody that you are not supposed to do it with then would you not be punished? They said yes. He said then should you not be rewarded if you do it with the person that Allah has made halal for you? Same thing applies to eating drinking our work everything if it is done in a way which is halal in a way which is permitted by Allah subhanahu ta'ala then it becomes something that we will be rewarded for. Take for example the simple matter of going to the masjid or praying in Jamaat. The hadith of Abu Hurra wa adhya al-anhu Rasulullah said he reported that Nabi sadawala said that when a person makes uduh at home and goes to the masjid for salah Allah subhanahu ta'ala raises his awards him awards him one hasana one good deed for every step he takes and wipes out one sin for every step that he takes and rasulullah said when a person prays in the masjid prays by jamar then the reward of that is more than 20 times more than 20 times the reward of praying on his own right so it is something which is the normal thing which any Muslim will do but Allah subhanahu ta'ala gives us that reward because he is because of as a sign of his great mercy and his generosity. Let me repeat that hadith Abu Hurra wa adhya al-anhu reported that rasulullah said the reward for salah performed by a person in Jamaat in congregation is more than 20 times greater than that of the same salah performed in one house or shop so when he is praying alone in his house or shop the reward of the same salah done in the masjid in congregation is more than 20 times greater. In this hadith Nabi sadawala did not specify how much more than 20 so as much as Allah wishes and then he continued and then he continues when one performs wudu perfectly and then proceeds to the masjid with the sole intention of performing salah then for every step he takes towards the masjid he is upgraded one degree in reward and one of his sins is eliminated until he enters the masjid and when he enters the masjid he is considered as performing salah as long as it is the salah which prevents him from leaving the masjid which means and if he once he enters the masjid he is sitting waiting for the salah to begin he may be reading quran he may be doing dhikr he may be doing nothing just sitting and waiting all of this is considered as being in salah and after the salah he sits there he waits there he makes dhikr he does nothing maybe he listens to a qatir or whateve...
