Majalis is the plural of Majlis. It means the place where one sits. [Grammatically], it is an adverb of place. Conducting meetings is an important foundation for a strong society. One of the benefits of conducting meetings is the collective progressive development of individuals in a society. Additionally, they look forward to helping each other in times of need by interacting with and encouraging each other. The secret of a happy society lies in the mutual and strong bonding of its members. To achieve this purpose, they should hold such meetings from time to time, and keeping in mind the etiquettes and decorum of meetings, develop their knowledge, faith, and spirituality. It is said that meetings where education and spirituality is discussed are like the gardens of Paradise. The Holy Prophet (sa) encouraged his companions to benefit from such meetings.
