Assalamualaykum Friend,

We hope you are doing well in both eeman and health.

There are few places where a Muslim can get beneficial knowledge like a halaqa. It is a gathering for knowledge and understanding of Islam, and a place to improve upon our faith.

Halaqa means a religious study circle. It’s the place where scholars of Islam share their knowledge with other Muslims, and the place for Muslims to learn more about the Deen.

The practice of gathering for the sake of the Deen began in the time of the Prophet (‎ﷺ).

He would gather the men and speak with them about the Deen. Such that the women demanded to have a similar time for themselves and the Prophet (‎ﷺ) agreed and set time aside to teach the women and answer their questions.

There are many virtues to having a religious study circle, and all of these do nothing but improve the Iman and life of a Muslim.
