Congregations of Salaat (muslims prayer) are not merely for the sake of its reminding, these also encompass the mutual consultation for the solutions of the matters of the Ummah (muslim nation). In fact, as mentioned earlier these are the gatherings of the “consultative council” of the Islamic Government. It is stated in Quran, chapter (surah) “Shura” the characteristics of Momineen (believers) are described as they are the people who respond to the call and come forward to establish the Nizam-e-Rabubiyyat (system of nourishment). They obey Allah Almighty (God) Laws and remain within the bounds of Nizam-us-Salaat (the system of Islam), which teaches them to decide their affairs through mutual consultations and according to Islamic Laws (Quran). Furthermore their doors of coffers always remain open for the nourishment of other (needy) human beings, most of whatever means of sustenance which they have been provided with. (In effect, they retain for themselves only what is necessary for their own survival) (42/38)

“These people establish Salaat, and their matters are mutually decided”

The injunctions of establishment of Salaat and mutual consultation at one place profusely determine the aim and purpose of congregations of Salaat. So the history unveils to us that after the exalted period of the Prophet Muhammad, whenever there was any matter during the period of first 4 caliphate, they guided a proclamation of assalaat-ul-jaam'ey was made on behalf of the caliphs. The people used to gather in the Nabvi Mosque for discussion, deliberation and decision. First two rakah of Namaaz (physical prayers) were used to be offered and after that the caliph used to explain the matter under discussion and so its decision with the mutual consultation of the gathering was used to be made.
