When he enters the mosque he is in a state of prayer so long as he is waiting for the prayer.'"

3 Allah records for me a good deed for every step
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah ( may Allah be pleased with him ) who said:
The Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) said: “Every joint of a person must perform a charity each day that the sun rises: to judge justly between two people is a charity. To help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it, is a charity. And the good word is a charity. And every step that you take towards the prayer is a charity...”

8 Allah will give me a guarantee
Aisha ( may Allah be pleased with her ) reported:
