Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whenever a group of people gather in one of the houses of Allah and recite the Book of Allah and study it among themselves, tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them among those who are with Him. And whoever is held back by his deeds, his lineage will not push him forward.
