2 To meet Allah as a Muslim because of maintaining the prayer in a congregation
Ibn Mas'ud ( May Allah be pleased with him ) reported:
He who likes to meet Allah tomorrow (i.e., on the Day of Requital) as a Muslim, should take care and observe the Salat when the Adhan is announced for them. Allah has expounded to your Prophet ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) the ways of right guidance, and these ( the prayers ) are part of the right guidance. If you have to perform Salat in your houses, as this man who stays away ( from the mosque ) and performs prayer in his house, you will abandon the Sunnah ( practice ) of your Prophet ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) and the departure from the Sunnah of your Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, will lead you astray. I have seen the time when no one stayed behind except a well-known hypocrite. I also saw that a man was brought swaying ( on account of weakness ) between two men till he was set up in a row ( in the mosque ).

6 To be admitted into the Paradise
It was narrated that ‘Ubadah bin Samit ( May Allah be pleased with him ) said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) saying: ‘Five prayers that Allah has enjoined upon His slaves, so whoever does them and does not omit anything out of negligence, on the Day of Resurrection Allah will make a covenant with him that He will admit him to Paradise. But whoever does them but omits something from them out of negligence, will not have such a covenant with Allah; if He wills He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him.’”
