” Among of the all human, there is saying: “We are godly to Allah SWT and to the end of day” while honestly they are not a devout people. They like to deceive Allah SWT and all devout people at the same time they also deceive themselves unconsciously. They grow a disease inside their heart; and will be tortured sadly because of their lying.” (QS. Al-Baqarah: 8-10)

” When a group of people are gathering in the house of Allah SWT and they are reading His holy book and discussing it, they shall be smothered with serenity, be poured of bounty, covered by the angels, and be flattered by Allah SWT in front of all His creatures.” (HR. Abu Dawud)
