Comments from participants
"We benefited from the circles of knowledge which were described as gardens of paradise in Hadith. We tasted the sweetness of (exposition of) the breath of the Prophet ﷺ alhamduli Allah."
"Being together with the lovers of the Prophet ﷺ, listening to his Hadith as if sitting in front of his knees, reciting Salawat upon him ﷺ as if speaking directly to him ﷺ was a great honour for me."
"I have never yearned for anything like this! It was an exhaustion which made me feel alive and refreshed. We know that the gift of life that Allah has given us, requires thankfulness towards Him. However in this majlis for the first time I thanked Him with such a deep, sincere gratefulness for granting us the majlis."
It is as if you are in the circles of the Companions of Sayyiduna Rasul’Allah ﷺ, like in the past. It’s an experience so beautiful that you don’t want it to end.
