Recnetly there was a HUGE convention in Jordan titled "Arokbo Maana" Come with With Us (the theme comes from the story of Prophet Nuh, and the people who came on his ship).
This convention has some of my favorite arabic speakers from the Iqraa Channel such as, Mustafah Hosny, "Sheikh Al-Arifi, the author of my favroite book Dont Be Sad, the smiley shiekh(forgot his name).
Here is Mustfah Hosnys talk. Heres an attempted translation of this amazing detialed lecture about the angels who come when the belivers gather for the sake of Allah.
I appoligize if anything was translated wrong, but I hope you get the main messages.
إركب معنا - تعرّف على حب سيدنا محمد لأمته - مصطفى حسني

I used to hear a hadith by the Prophet and everyday that passes I get a better understanding of the haidith.
The Prophet gathered the sahbha, and he said on the Day of Judgement, around the arsh-throne of Al-Rahman manabar (like the thing the sheikh stands on for Jummah) of light. People will sit on it , thier faces are filled with noor-light, thier clothing is of noor-light,
The sahbah said: Oh Rasoul Allah descirbe them to us so we can love them
The Prophet said: They are people who loved one another for the sake of Allah.
They werent realtives, they gathered only to love one another for the sake of Allah.
When I first entered the convention and I saw the people who were waiting for a seat,rthose standing, those waiting outside.... I thought of the Prophet.
And I thought about how I am in a country and I am so excited to meet the people of Jordan, even though I dont know any of you. You probably seen me on tv, but there is no one here whom I know as a close friend.
The scholars taught us that love always grows through trust, respect, etc, hut this stuff didnt happen.
There is something bigger here from that , Allah SWT who has gathered our hearts upon the love of one man-The Prophet.
I thought about the legacy of the Prophet.His legacy began in a small town and then the whole world started to talk about him.
I just want to tell you and remind myself that without the Prophet none of us would know one another nor would we know Allah.
I want to talk about the angels
Allah said to the angels:
Surat AlBaqrah aya 30
And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority."
They angels said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."
The angels say oh Allah you created people who arent not going to obey you, and are going to cause corrpution on earth , while we as angels "wanahnu nusabbihu bihamdika wanuqaddisu lakaqala"(aya)
We Praise You oh Allah.
naqdadisu lakqa means we the angels are contsnaly cleansing ourselves-tahara, for an example you know when you are meeting with someone improtnat you iron your clothes, you put on perfume, naqdisu laqka is like that.
The angels are saying we do this oh Allah, but the people are not going to.
Allah said: "I know that which you do not know" (Aya).
Its like Allah is saying you angels have a point, there will be some people who will forget Me but there are people I know them by thier name, they will leave everything because of Me.
That is why while we sit in a gathering lik this one, I remind you of the hadith,
That the Prophet taught us, about the angels who were created just to tell Allah about these types of types of gatherings for His sake. So when we sit in gatherings like these for the sake of Allah, He knows, He doesnt need someone to come tell Him about this gathering.
This is so you can know your status with Allah when you come to these gatherings for His sake.
Allah tells the angels: What is the news? Didnt you say the people will corrput the earth, what are these people (at the gathering) doing?
The angels replied: We saw them rembering You oh Allah.
Allah tells them: Do these people see Me?
Angels: No ya Rab, they do not see You.
Allah said: How about if they saw Me what would they do
Angels said :Ya Rab if they saw You, they would be stronger/ more constant in thier remebrance of You.
Allah said : What do they ask for?
Angels said: Ya Rab, They are asking for the Paradise
Allah said: Did they see the Paradise?
Angels said: No they did not see the Paradise
Allah said: What if they saw the Paradise?
Angels who already saw the Paradise said: they would be even stronger/more contsnat in demaniding Paradise and they would seek refuge from the Hell Fire
Allah said: Did they see the Hell Fire?
Angels who saw the hell fire said: No they did not see the Hell Fire, if they saw the Hell Fire they would be stronger/more contstant in trying to escape from it.
Allah said : Bear witness that I have forgiven them (the people of the gathering)
The angels said: Oh Allah amongst them are constant sinners who is not coming for the sake of Allah, You are going to forgive them because your Kareem, and Allah says 'For him I forgive also".
The one who is satsifsied/pleased with the least in this dunya is Allah swt....
Someone asked the Prophet,
What pleases Allah the most ? Dying for His Sake? he says no, rather Allah is pleased with the one who eats and drinks a small amount and says humdAllah, this is enough to please Allah.
the ulma answer the question of why does this small act please Allah the most?
If there is a very rich man and someone gives him a napkin as a gift because he rembered him, the rich man was in shock he said this is for me? I am veryyyy pleased with this gift, the best thing for me is when you rember me even if its a small thing. The improtant thing is not what you give me even if its small but rather it is the thought and that you have remeberd me.
The Prophet said whoever said: SubhanAllah wa bahimdi 100 times (3minutes) Allah will forgive His sins even if its the amount of the sea.
You spent alot of times in sins, and it only takes you 3 minutes to erase all your sins?
The scholars said Yes, the idea is that you are spending time rembering Allah, just keep rembering Him!
And that is why Allah is very pleased with this gathering as I speak so He can say to the angels rember when you said the people will not rember Allah, look at these people, and when the anges said look at this sinner who did not come for your sake? Even Him Allah loves him.
I want to thank you all and that you pleased Allah. Allah teaches us that
"A young person beleives in His Book, and is pleased with the rizqk I have bestowed upon him, and stops his desires for my sake, to me he is like my angels <3333"
The youth who has come to this gathering, left the dunya, because he is looking for Allah, because Allah is valuebale to him, be on this path that Allah is the center of my life....is the thing that is driving and controling my heart Allah? And anything I love should bring me to Allah
14 Minutes...
To be contunied inshAllah
