Just stay focused and keep going man because God is always there. God knows was best for you and he will will provide what's best for you even if you don't think He is. Remember God is the Most Merciful and Most Kind. Submission to God and God alone brings you peace

Yeah pretty much. You have to keep going. No matter what. Things can change at any second. You may think everything is coming down on you but you'll never be crushed as long as you have faith and belief in yourself. Thats something I try to stress to those close to me. If you don't believe in yourself then who will?

To me praying out loud in a group is a lot better than just praying quietly by ourselves.

Praying in congregation also strengthens the principle unity among Muslims. When one performs an act of worship in a group, one naturally develops a sense of brotherhood with others in the same group.

It also helps build relationships among Muslims from different races and ethnic groups. This leads to visitations, marriages, business and partnerships, all of which translates into a better and more cooperative community.

Also wisdom behind the congregational prayer and perhaps the most important one is the great reward of Allah. The Messenger (pbuh) explained in the hadiiths such as "A man's Salaat in congregation equals 27 folds of Salaat by oneself."

Finally is that it stressed the concept of equality among people. When the rows are established, we observe that all people stand beside each other: rich and poor, black and white, young and old.

"If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses? Ifyou fall down in a land of peace, How will you do in the thicket of the Jordan? Jeremiah 12;5


21 But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:

22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 "The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him."

biblegateway Rev 2:10

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.

he wouldnt give you anything that you wouldnt be able to handle.

everything will be ok

i hope that helps
