Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. He says regarding another issue: The mosque is far from our home, and I, praise be to Allah, pray all the times there, but this takes from my time and effort for studying, even though I am not reassured about praying at home. So what do you advise me?
Answer:
I advise you to continue praying with the congregation, and this is what will help you in your studies, if Allah wills. If Allah wills. Allah the Exalted and Majestic says:[Al-Baqarah 2:45], and He the Exalted and Majestic says: [Al-Baqarah 2:153] So prayer helps with the hardships of studying and other things. So be patient and seek reward, and you will have the reward for that, if Allah wills. And your steps, even if you are far from the mosque, are recorded for you with Allah the Exalted and Majestic. The further your step goes and the more it multiplies, the greater your reward becomes. Yes.

And seek help through patience and prayer
وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِO you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
