There is almost the same way of how to perform a congregational prayer in all [[Islamic sects]]. [[Imam of prayer]] (who leads the prayer) recites [[sura al-Fatiha]] and a [[Sura]] in the two first [[rak'a]]s in behalf of the people following him in prayer, though the people behind him recite other parts quietly, while following the Imam in prayer moves and actions.

A ma'mum (follower in prayer) must not do the prayer acts ahead of the Imam, although it does not invalidate his prayer in the view of majority of [[Shi'a]] and some [[Sunni]] scholars. Some [[jurists]] believe that following the [[Imam]] in prayer acts is the condition of the validity of the prayer but others believe it is the condition of its recognition as a congregational prayer.
