remembrance and he says forget it's must
it is recommended and I use the word and
it is a Sunnah and it's very interesting
when people say hold on a second yes

know how let's also look at it another
way do you know exactly what was said in
the Gatherings of knowledge of the sahab
and the prophet well I'll tell you what

wasn't there was any mention
of when they studied the
Quran was never mentioned I can
guarantee you that was never
mentioned was never mentioned I
guarantee you that I guarantee you
everything that's found in any book just
the basics of was not found I guarantee
you that so we know that they studied
but the specific manner in which they
studied we know for sure our classes
today are very different so the answer
is that well then why do we accept them
we do accept them because there are
descriptions of things that are either
are new matters or they existed before
this they existed before this without a
name and we just gave them a name if
someone is going to argue that the
Gathering has to be exactly the way they
gathered well then you don't do that in
knowledge that's the whole argument but
in general it's the same thing the study
of the Quran the study of the Sunnah the
the solution to problems that exist in
matters of or challenge asposed or of
Quran Etc he says the that show how
recommended it is are immense there are
many benefits in gathering together to
do it out loud gathered all of this and
he
specified in one voice in one Gathering
Allah says I am in the opinion of my
slave and I'm with him when he remembers
me if he remembers me in him himself I
remember him in myself and if he
remembers him in a group I remember him
in a group better than that he says here
remembering Allah in a group sui says
there is never a group that sits
together all silently now nobody will
sit and listen to one person making and
everyone listening to the so how is it
that we're going to have aith later on
saying what are they doing they're
saying Subhan Allah is everyone just
saying Subhan Allah silently then what's
the point of coming together the second
Hadith oh people Allah has traveling
angels

meaning right what's the general meaning
here any remembrance of Allah a class of
is a class of counts as a class of no
doubt about that a class of Stories of
the stories of the so are we going to
now hypothesize and say that the story
The the general meaning applies
but the specific meaning doesn't apply
the general meaning applies and the
specific meaning of course definitely
applies maalis means Gatherings you
people all sitting together are they
going to all do it silently oh it
doesn't say silent or out loud okay then
both of them are valid then they left it
open next Hadith now this one mentions
what they do when the Angels the
traveling Angels come upon a gathering
of remembrance they all come together to
the point that they're overlapping
they're all like overlapping one another
with their wings
all the way to the heavens what are they
doing they're praising you thanking you
grandis you mentioning your Oneness
they're asking for from you and they're
seeking your protection Allah says what
do they ask of me well he knows best
they say they ask you for Paradise Allah
says did they see my Paradise they say
no what if they saw it if they if they
saw my Paradise they would ask you for
even more then what do they seek Refuge
from your punishment did they See My
Punishment No what if they saw my
punishment Allah subhah wa taala said be
witnesses that I have forgiven them and
I've granted them what they've asked and
I have protected them from what they're
seeking protection for however the angel
said they have a very bad sinner amongst
them know they always say all these
gatherings there for all these Sinners
right and all these people who are weak
in Shar and they always come they only
come to the m right isn't that what
people say they say oh they yeah you go
to these gatherings and all sorts of UNC
people there that are loose and they're
weak in the dean and weak in what did
the say
here he's always committing Sins Not he
commits sins
he's always committing sins he's not one
of them he just came he sat with them
but he's not one of them so the Mal are
saying exactly what we see in in in our
real life today that a lot of these
gatherings are filled with regular
people who are probably maybe who knows
if they pray five times a day but they
show up to this Gathering and they're
not the regulars they're not the regular
practicing Muslims who show up to the
Gathering of the every week him too I
forgiven him these are people the one
who sits with them is never miserable
that means you will come away with some
benefit Hadith number four there is no
Gathering of remembrance no group of
people who gather to remember Allah
except the angels surround them and the
mercy envelops them and S comes down
upon them and Allah remembers them with
those with him who are the Mala
