It is good to offer prayer in the congregation (Jama’ah) in the mosque rather than praying alone or at home. Regarding the importance of congregational prayer, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) reply that:

“A single prayer in congregation is better than forty years of prayer at home.” He ask “Is it one day of prayer?” He reply : “No, it is a single prayer.”
