مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللہَ فِيهِ،وَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلٰى نَبِيِّهِمْ اِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ تِرَةً فَاِنْ شَآءَ عَذَّبَهُمْ وَاِنْ شَآءَ غَفَرَ لَهُم

Translation: The people do not sit in a gathering in which they neither remember Allah Almighty nor send Salat upon the Prophet (صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) except that it will be a cause of regret for them (on the Day of Judgement). Thus, if Allah Almighty wills, He will punish them, and if He wills, He will forgive them. (Tirmizi, vol. 5, p. 247, Hadith 3391)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s first of all make good intentions to please Allah Almighty and to earn reward. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهٖ’ The intention of a Muslim is better than his action. (Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, p. 185, Hadith 5942)

An important point

For righteous and permissible work, the more good intentions we make, the more reward we attain.

Intentions of listening to Bayan

1.   In order to gain the knowledge of Deen, lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

2.   I will sit in the Attahiyyaat position for as long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious knowledge.

3.   When I hear صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب, اُذۡكُرُوا اللّٰه, تُوۡبُوۡا اِلَیاللّٰه, etc., I will reply loudly with the intention of gaining reward.
