People should make their own choices about their choices in choosing a religion or to do a particular religious tradition. In Singapore, most town districts have a mosque within 5 bus stops from the bus interchange or MRT. That's not a long travelling distance if any mosque would do for the prayers.
People who never fasted like Jesus did, will never understand the subtle stresses it puts on the person's time, spirit and psychology.
Upon rushing home to make it in time for break fast, which is a specific time, after the body has endured food nor water the whole day, he wants to shower first, then he has that meal (which suddenly fills him empty stomach) and then has to do his sunset prayers.
You may know how it feels when the tummy is suddenly filled, you tend to be immobile. It's difficult.
Then he has to get ready to go to the masjid, and reach there within 20 mins on the bus. So that he can make it in time for the congregational prayers.
Now if that congregational prayers was just at the next multi purpose hall a few steps away, that would not be a problem. He could have in tow his children and grandchildren with him to the prayers and they will learn the joy and satisfaction of those evening prayers.
Without those neighbourhood congregations, he will probably miss those congregation and his children and grandchildren will never get to experience it. Isn't this is what MUIS wants right? May Allah 'reward' then if it so.
And you can see for yourself how full these neighbourhood congregations are as a testament of how convenient and popular they are.
If you have to continuously earn your spiritual rewards, it's a very uncertain life. There's no sincerity in religion if people are doing religious stuff mainly because they are constantly threatened with hell or divine punishment by an angry God or harassment from religious vigilantes.
Unlike the illogical christian dog-trine of somebody dying and paying for your sins, we Muslims are accountable for each, our own.
Otherwise you end up like the liberal west where they will do any wrong and claim somebody already paid for their wrong doing.
