Benefits of Group Study Everyone is a student And a ‘teacher’! (... وَعلَّمَه) Regularity (you remind each other) Shaitaan weaker on a group, stronger on individual… makes him leave within 3, 4 days

Benefits of Group Study Weaker student gets support from others Environment helps (even of sounds) Encouragement (if he can do it, why not I) Spirit of competition
