Masjid prayer times

[Dan]

Bismillah

In the Sahih Al-Bukhari:

Narrated Abdullah bin Mas'ud: I asked the Prophet "Which deed is the dearest to Allah?" He replied, "To offer As-Salat at their EARLY STATED FIXED TIMES." I asked, "What is the next?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I again asked, "What is the next?" He replied, "To participate in jihad in Allah's Cause." Abdullah added, These were told by Allah's Messenger and if I had asked more, he would have told me more.

As-Salam Alaikum

My question for my brothers and sisters who may be of help is about the purposeful delaying of prayer times by mosques in the United States. According to this hadith and my reason, the mosques should offer salah at the early fixed times. Instead they will delay the prayer on average an hour later than when it is time to pray. The reason I have been given when I pointed out this hadith and the lack of following it is that more people are able to get to the mosque at these later times. My reply is so what? Should not the Islamic institution for the area uphold the rules of Islam in every instance? I would go to the mosque more often except they pray so late.

Praying on time is put above jihad and obeying ones' parents. If we as muslims fail to do these two we can be thrown into Hell fire. Yet something put above jihad and obedience is looked upon as merely a suggestion?

I was told also that delaying the prayer times makes it easier for people to get to the mosque to pray. So now we are allowed to change the religion of Allah in order to make it easier for us. If we rid more rules of Islam, I am sure we could get more people in the mosques. People would convert in droves if we did as the Christians have done and changed the religion to fit the needs of the people.

We are the sinners. We need the help and guidance of Allah Most High. Obviously we do not know what we are doing because Allah sent messengers to assist us. Why do we do such things?

I am open minded to anyone who can show me daleel that can help me.

I already know of hadith where Rasulullah, salahi salam, delayed prayers for specific reasons like heat or battle or other mitigating circumstances. That is not the issue but rather the consistant delaying of prayers for the desires of people.

I apologize if my thread seems agitated, but this issue has been causing me great duress.

Jazakum Allah Khairun

As-Salam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah
