2. Muslims pray Jamaah in the masjid shortly after the prayer time begins and the Athan is called.
3. Muslims pray Salat ul-Jamaah in the masjid five timmes a day. However a muslim can pray Jamaah in school, at work, or at home , if he has a good reason for not being able to go to the masjid.

6. If there is a male Imam and one male Mamoom, the mamoom stands on the right side of the imam.
7. If there is a male imam and one female mamoomah, the mamoomah stands behind the imam.
8. If you come to the masjid late and find that you have missed one or more rakah, just walk calmly and join the salah. When the imam makes tasleem, do not make tasleem, stand up and pray the rakaat you missed.
9. If you enter the salah while the imam is in qiyam or even in rukoo, then that rakaah counts.
