Works of the Zayli Halqa, and in particular, today we will focus on mentioning one of them, the Weekly Gathering.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, In the Weekly Gathering:

1. Zikr takes place

2. One can learn Islamic knowledge

3. A person gains good company

4. One is blessed with spending time in the masjid

5. One significant blessing is that going to a religious gathering is a form of going out in the way of Allah Almighty, so from the time you leave your home until you return, it will be considered as time in the way of Allah Almighty.

Make an intention to attend the weekly gathering every Thursday without fail, from start to end.

The Sunan and etiquettes of IꜤtikāf

Dear Islamic brothers! The blessed month of Ramadan is fast approaching. Thousands of Islamic brothers perform IꜤtikāf for the entirety of Ramadan, and others for ten days. Relating to this, let us discuss some of the sunan, as well as various manners and etiquette relating to IꜤtikāf.

Firstly, let’s listen to two blessed Hadith of the final Prophet of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

1. “Whosoever performed IꜤtikāf with faith and intending to earn reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven.”^[1]

2. “Whosoever performed IꜤtikāf for ten days in Ramadan, it is as though he performed two Hajj and two Umrah.”^[2]

1. Performing IꜤtikāf for the last ten days of Ramadan is Sunnah
