fortunate people are not deprived of blessings. Keep in mind! Although reciting Allah’s name is undoubtedly a form of remembrance of Allah Almighty, reciting the noble Quran, praising Allah Almighty, supplicating, reciting ṣalāt upon the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, reciting Prophetic odes, reciting eulogies relating to pious personalities, delivering sermons, imparting religious lessons, and delivering Sunnah-filled speeches are all included in remembrance of Allah Almighty. Therefore, the Sunnah-filled gatherings of Dawat-e-Islami are also circles of remembrance.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                             صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Religious and worldly benefits of religious gatherings

Dear Islamic brothers! We should regularly participate in religious gatherings (such as the weekly Sunnah-filled gathering, or gatherings on significant nights like the Night of Salvation, Night of the Ascension, Night of Power, and collective Madani Muzakaras, etc.). There are many blessings associated with these gatherings. I will summarise both the religious benefits mentioned in hadith and the findings from modern scientific research regarding these gatherings. Listen and rejoice!

*   Angels spread their wings over those who attend gatherings of remembrance of Allah Almighty (i.e., religious gatherings).

*   Tranquillity descends upon them.

*   Mercy envelops them.^[1]

*   Good news of forgiveness is given to them.

*   Their sins are replaced with good deeds.^[2]
