Is there a warning for the one who abandons the congregational prayer while he prays at home?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a warning established for the one who abandons the congregational prayer, knowing that he maintains it at home?

Answer:
Yes, there is a severe warning, a severe warning for the one who lags behind in the congregational prayer without an excuse. He said: fear or illness. Praying at home without an excuse is among the characteristics of the hypocrites, among the characteristics of the hypocrites, and I seek refuge in Allah. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This indicates that they are all heavy, but the heaviest of them are these two obligatory prayers because they coincide with people's rest, and also because they are at night and no one sees them if they lag behind in the darkness.
During the day they come because they show off and they are seen by people. Allah the Exalted said: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to burn the houses of those who lagged behind with fire, were it not for the women and children in them. So this is a severe warning. Lagging behind in the prayer without an excuse is abandoning the Sunnah of the Messenger. Abdullah, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, said: "If you prayed as this one who lags behind prays in his house, you would have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet. And if you abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet, you would have gone astray."
Yes, if the congregational prayer is not obligatory for him and the person is free to choose, whether he attends or does not attend, why are mosques built if it is said that he prays at home and there is no need to build mosques? Why did the Messenger, when he first arrived in Madinah, why did he start with what?
With building the mosque. The first thing he started with was the mosque. And these people say that the congregational prayer has no importance, it has no importance. These people want to diminish the importance of the prayer so that it becomes light in the Fire, and consequently they abandon it. They gradually lead people astray in this way. Yes. And if you asked one of them, it is not evidence, he says there is disagreement in it. Well, do we follow the disagreement or do we follow the evidence? Disagreement occurs in some matters, but one looks at the evidence with it, so one takes what the evidence supports and leaves what contradicts the evidence.
