devotees of Imam Ḥusain, both deliver and listen to the Masjid Dars. You should also participate in the Masjid Dars!

If you can deliver the Dars, then become a teacher; otherwise, be a listener! اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, You will get the opportunity to learn sacred knowledge. You will receive the reward for sitting in the masjid for that duration. You will be blessed with sitting in righteous company. If you walk from home with the intention of participating in the Dars, you will receive the reward for walking on the path of knowledge. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, The entire creation, even the fish in the sea, will pray for you.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                          صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
