It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whenever a group of people gathers in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Holy Qur'an and remembering it among themselves, tranquility descends upon them, the mercy of Allah envelops them, the angels cover them, and Allah mentions them to those angels who are with Him. And whoever sets out on a path seeking knowledge, Allah, due to its blessing, makes the path to Paradise easy for him. And whoever is held back by his deeds, his lineage will not take him forward.
