The Holy Quran 2:43 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱرْكَعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ

Translation

Establish salaah (perform salaah regularly, ensuring that all its conditions are fulfilled), pay zakaah and bow (in Ruku) with those who bow (perform salaah in congregation with other Muslims).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The command to pray in congregation: that is, pray in congregation. In no earlier religion was there congregational prayer, and in the prayer of the Jews there was no ruku' (bowing). The upshot of the ayah is that the things mentioned above are not by themselves enough for your salvation; rather, follow the Prophet of the Last Age ﷺ in all the fundamentals.
