If he remembers Me inwardly, I will remember him inwardly, and if he remembers Me in an assembly, I will remember him in a better assembly (i.e., in the assembly of angels).&#8221; (1)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Thus, we can establish the virtue and purpose of engaging in Dhikr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Dhikr serves the purpose of increasing taqwa as it engages the memory and reminds one of Allah SWT&#8217;s presence. More so, it is widely encouraged to engage in Dhikr whenever capable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cThe Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said: \u2018Frequently remember the destroyer of pleasures,\u2019 meaning death.\u201d (2)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Thus, we can understand the role of Dhikr and its virtue within the life of a believer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">On the other hand, Bayans and speeches are a form of knowledge and teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Knowledge is the basis of the Deen as one is more God-fearing with more understanding. In fact, knowledge is that sacred thing that is bestowed upon one whom Allah favours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim, and he who imparts knowledge to those who do not deserve it is like one who puts a necklace of jewels, pearls and gold around the neck of swine.&#8221; (3)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The hadith above describes the seeking of knowledge a duty upon every Muslim as one can only practice and follow the religion correctly by enquiring and be learned with the religion. Thus, it is vital for every Muslim to be striving of knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">As such, we see that both Dhikr and Dars are equally vital for a Muslim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Knowledge is a benefit that expands to every believer and its level of achievement is different depending on the believer, therefore, it is considered the duty of an Imam to impart knowledge upon the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It is the duty of scholars and the learned to impart knowledge otherwise they will be held accountable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said: &#8220;Whoever is asked about some knowledge that he knows, then he conceals it, he will be bridled with a bridle of fire.&#8221; (4)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Therefore, in the situation, you refer to, though both are extremely virtuous and rewarding, the opportunity of an Imam imparting knowledge and benefiting the community is a priority as Dhikr can be done in isolation too. Thus, the imam taking opportunities to address the community is right though the address should be used to refer to important and relevant matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
