Prayer is one of the obligations for Muslims and must be done both for Mukimin and Musafir. The virtue of prayer in the mosque is the same as the value of 20 degrees of reward compared to prayer elsewhere. With the traffic jam phenomenon that is increasing due to heavy traffic. For someone who is traveling home in the afternoon before maghrib, some people are always confused to do Maghrib prayer because of the lack of information about the nearest mosque.
