Would there not be a reason of why or why not should be done?
For thought's so great, for would they be said with no reason why man should not betray the trust of another man?
For would the answer be that Allah demand's such? Or would thy Allah have a reason as pure as that of which you have spoken?
Please will you spare your time to share?
For I have spared mine

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum
Morals and ethics, such as truthfulness, honesty, compassion, .. etc are part of the Guidance we have from our Creator to live a good and decent life here on earth
Keeping trusts and the confidence of others is an important part of morals and ethics in Islam
Why would God guide us to morals and ethics?
Because it is in our best collective interest to live in peace with other members of society
He guide us to what is beneficial for us, as He cares for us and He loves us ...

What do you define as "good"?
And if such a creator of this vast exitence walked in your shoe's and lived life and seen life as you do and seen it all in the point of view and perception that you see, would not such a creator see that thy would want to be guided to such "good" moral's and ethic's within this existence?
For could such be the reason such a creator would bless us with such a guided path to such a life?
Hence, such would want such done onto it's self, therefore see's why such should be placed onto another.
Hence, if I spoke to you in confidence, do not betray my trust. Why should you not, for I would not betray your's.
How more sweet can an answer be to a question of why? if it not start with because...
Do you see the word "good" as defined as an action the give's to man, and dose not take from man, and if it take's from man it give's back equaly to that of whom was taken from? or That which can be seen to benefit one's self and another?
Thank you for sharing your time, and wisdom

Once again thank you for your time in reading the reply.

The general definition of what is good is known to all people by intuition
And that comes from our conscience
We know for example that to help those in need is good, and to lie is bad
These are universal ethics shared by most of humanity
To know the more specific details of what is good, Muslims follow the Guidance of the Creator
If you like to debate the issue of good vs. bad, you could do that on the debates forum
All the best

It is authentically reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra ) that the Prophet (saas ) said: "Allah (swt ), Most Blessed, Most High, says: "The son of Adam wrongs Me: He curses time, though I am time: In My Hands are all things and I cause the night to follow the day." In another narration, He (saas ) says: "Do not curse time, for verily, time is Allah (swt )."

Welcome Paul, and thank you for your question
God accepts prayers anywhere, but in Islam some places are more special than others, and also some months are more special than others, like the month of Ramadan for example
Mosques are God's Houses on earth, and going to a mosque for prayer is encouraged in Islam and has a special reward.
It's encouraged in order to meet other members of the community, neighbours, ... etc. Praying in congregation in Islam on Friday and five times a day, when possible, is one of the means for creating social cohesion among believers.
In addition to our individual relation with God, Islam is all about being in a community, caring for others and helping those in need. The mosque is an important place for Muslims to meet and relate with others
Praying in a mosque is also encouraged because it's a place for learning. Gaining knowledge is very important in Islam in order to get closer to God and to follow the Straight Path ...
As for prayers said at home they are also encouraged in Islam in all "extra" prayers, which we call (Sunnah) prayers. Praying late at night for example and before dawn is encouraged to be done at home where no one else is watching.
In general terms, obligatory prayers (i.e. the 5 daily prayers) are encouraged in congregation, while extra Sunnah prayers are better performed at home
