This is the sixty-fifth of the monthly gatherings that take place once every month on the night of the third Sunday of each month. And this night is the fifteenth of the month of Safar, 1420 AH. We ask Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, to make these gatherings and the gatherings of our brothers, the people of knowledge, blessed gatherings that point to good and warn against evil. And I am glad to inform you, my brothers, that your attendance at these gatherings is a remembrance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. And that you are rewarded for it, along with the beneficial knowledge you gain, by which you are enlightened in matters of your religion and your worldly affairs.

And we should strive in it with utmost diligence in seeking what benefits us in our religion and our worldly affairs. We do not say: the studies have ended. A person’s work does not cease until his term comes. As Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: complete . And it was said: "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave".
