"You alone we worship; You alone we ask for help."
The Quran 01:05
"If people knew about the reward
for Fajr and Isha Prayers, they
would come (to the Masjid)
even if they had to crawl."
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
"No wealth (of a servant of Allah) is decreased because of charity."
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Said:
"If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it. If the plague breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place."
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) once directed the muezzin to call the Azaan and say, "Pray in your Homes" instead of "Come to Prayer!" That decision was made for the sake of the people, so they would not struggle or suffer through the muddy streets during heavy rain to go to the Masjid. This also applies to an outbreak of a plague or other diseases where an individual or a community's well being would be at risk to become sick.
