What does it mean to "assemble"
-
O you who believe, seek help through patience and the assembly, God is with the patient ones. 2153
And if you are with them and you hold the assembly for them, then let a group from amongst them stand with you and let them take their weapons; and when they have submitted then let them stand guard behind you; and let a group who has not yet assembled come and assemble with you, and let them be wary and take their weapons with them. The rejecters hope that you would neglect your weapons and goods so they can come upon you in one blow. There is no sin upon you if there is harm to you from rain, or if you are ill, that you put down your weapons, but be wary. God Has prepared for the rejecters a humiliating retribution. 4102
So when you are done with the assembly, then remember God while standing, or sitting, or on your sides. Then, when you are relieved, you shall hold the assembly. Certainly, the assembly for the believers is a scheduled ledger. 4103
It means prayer Im guessing. But what does it involve? Just reciting part of the Quran?

Thats saying that assembly(prayer) has a schedule. I would think its something like what the Sunnis do, just not so ritualistic and no bowing down to an idol. Is it just a gathering were people remember and reicte Gods Scripture? The Quran commands us to assemble many times, but I'm confused as to what I am to do in assembly. What if there are no other muslims around here? How can I assemble? Is the word being translated wrong here?(im using the translation by Progressive Muslims).
