Assalam walikum warahmatullah e wa barakhatuhu,
You should walk to the mosque .it has a best reward in Islam .
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever purifies himself in his house then walks to one of the houses of Allaah in order to perform one of the duties enjoined by Allaah, for every two steps he takes, one will erase a sin and the other will raise him one degree in status.” Narrated by Muslim, 666.
It was narrated that Abu Moosa (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The people who will receive the greatest reward for prayer are those who walk the furthest distance to come and pray, then those who walk the next furthest.” Narrated by Muslim, 662.
, it was narrated from Aws ibn Aws ath-Thaqafi that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever does ghusl on Friday and cleanses himself, and sets out early, and comes close to the imam and listens and keeps quiet, for every step he takes he will have the reward of fasting and praying qiyaam for one year.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 496 .
Isn't it a best reward? . So you should go to mosque by walk and try to change the path when you are going to mosque ,and when your coming . Because earth will bear witness on the day of judgement.when you take a separate path ,there will be more witnesses . If there is only one path, go on the right side while going and on the left side when coming .
It also has some benefits . Such as , to fight against diseases and sickness. And it is also a remedy against heart disease,because it gives the heart ability to work hard and improve the circulation. It is also a remedy for mental exhaustion and thinking too much , because it restores to mind to it's natural state and helps one to relax, physically and mentally.
Jazaki Allahu khairen
