مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِيهِ، وَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ اِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ تِرَةً فَاِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُمْ وَاِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُم

No people gather in an assembly in which they neither remember Allah nor send ṣalāt upon their Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, except that gathering shall become a cause of regret for them (on the Day of Judgment). Then, Allah may punish them if He wills, or forgive them if He wills.^[1]

Speech intentions

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:  اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ – “The best of deeds is a sincere intention.”^[2]

Dear Islamic brothers! Make it a habit to form good intentions before every action, as good intentions can lead one to Paradise. Before listening to the speech, we can make the following good intentions:

1.I will listen to the entire speech to gain knowledge.

2.I will sit respectfully.

3.I will avoid laziness.

4.I will listen with the aim of reforming myself.

5.I will try to convey what I learn to others.
