Sessions of Faith

From the Book “The Day and Night Schedule of the Believer” by Imam Abdessalam Yassine
Translated from the Arabic by Farouke Bouasse

Devote one hour for a session of faith with your brothers (1)TN: In the Arabic language, the word “brothers” refers to brothers as well as sisters in Islam. so that you may be of those who rejoice in the Gardens of Paradise, as the beloved Messenger (God bless him and give him peace) informed us. Such sessions of God’s remembrance are occasions for the servants to seek God’s favor and to rejoice in God’s Heavenly Gardens. The session of faith should also include a visit, for the purposes of Da’wa [invitation to worship God] and academic learning. God’s Messenger (God bless him and give him peace) said: “That God may guide one man to Him through your person is better for you than (all) the things upon which the sun rises.”
