✧ “O people, God Almighty has detachments of angels that alight and stand over the gatherings of remembrance on earth, so graze in the meadows of Paradise.” They said: “Where are the meadows of Paradise, O Messenger of God?” He ﷺ said: “The gatherings of remembrance. So go forth in the morning and evening in the remembrance of God Almighty, and remind yourselves of Him. Whoever would love to know his station with God Almighty, let him look at how the station of God, Mighty and Majestic, is with him. For God Almighty places the servant in the station that he assigns to Him from his own self.”
