would organise gatherings, and out of the fear of Allah Almighty, he would cry so much that the entire assembly would be overcome with emotion. Due to the overwhelming fear of Allah Almighty in these gatherings, some people would pass away. His gatherings were known to be deeply impressive and emotionally moving.

*   Similarly, Prophet Nūḥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, Prophet Ṣāliḥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, Prophet Hūd عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, and Prophet ShuꜤayb عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم would invite their respective nations to good deeds collectively and deliver reminders and advice. The contents of their sermons have been mentioned in the holy Quran.

In short, human history is filled with examples of religious gatherings. There has hardly been a time when such gatherings were not convened.

One of the Most Significant Gatherings in Human History

Dear Islamic brothers! In terms of its virtue and importance, one of the most significant gatherings in human history took place during the Farewell Pilgrimage. The speaker at this gathering was our Master, Imam of the Prophets, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and the listeners were the noble Companions رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُم. According to narrations, Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, Prophet Khiḍr عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, and Prophet Ilyās عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم were also present at this sacred gathering.

This was the most important gathering in human history, in which the Messenger of Allah, صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم delivered the Farewell Sermon. It was such an extraordinary sermon that no other sermon before or after it in human history can compare to its greatness.
