Remembrance of Allah


"They are the most wise who remember Allah, standing sitting and lying down"
Quran (Surah 4: Verse 190)

"Their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allah"
Quran (Surah 39: Verse 23)

"Those men and women who engage much in Allah's praise. for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a Great Reward"
Quran (Surah 33: Verse 35)

Ibn `Umar reported that the Prophet said: "When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, avail yourselves of them." The Companions asked: "What are the gardens of Paradise, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied: "The circles of dhikr. There are roaming angels of Allah who go about looking for the circles of dhikr, and when they find them they surround them closely." Tirmidhi narrated it (hasan gharib) and Ahmad.
