What is meant by the degree by which a Muslim is elevated in Paradise when stepping to the mosque and prostrating, and does it entail reaching the degree of Firdaus?

The intended meaning of the "degree" by which a Muslim is elevated due to walking to the mosque or prostrating is an increase in reward from Allah Almighty, and He alone knows its measure. Congregational prayer exceeds individual prayer by twenty-seven degrees, and this reward may elevate a Muslim until they reach the highest Paradise (Firdaws).
