Deeni Ijtema Ki Barkat

Book Name:Deeni Ijtema Ki Barkat

In conclusion, these practices of organising religious gatherings, delivering sermons and advice in this manner, educating people about religious matters, encouraging thoughts of the Hereafter, instilling the fear of Allah Almighty, and giving speeches on reformative topics such as the grave and resurrection, organising gatherings for the remembrance of Allah Almighty, making collective supplications, and seeking blessings have always been the practice of the believers in every era. It is also one of the finest forms of worship, and many virtues of this practice have been mentioned in Aḥādīth.

Those who choose pure words

The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, said:

On the Day of Judgement, there will be some people who will neither be Prophets nor martyrs, yet the light on their faces will dazzle the eyes of those who see them. The Prophets and martyrs will rejoice upon seeing their high status and proximity in the court of Allah.

The noble Companions رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُم asked:

O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, who will these people be?

He replied:

They will be people from different tribes and localities, who used to gather in this world for the remembrance of Allah, and they used to choose pure words just as one selects the best dates when eating dates.[1]
