such a thinga which are the best and purest deeds in the court of your
Lord, high in ranks (darajat), better for you then spending gold and

"Itis Zikr of Allah." (Tirmizi)
Abu Huraira narratedthat Rasool Allah said,"Any gathering in which

he does Zikr in a gathering, I mention him in a gathering Afdhal
(better) than it. (Bukhari)

skies of this world with their wings. And Allah Rabbul Izzat says
about them to those angels "What are my slave doing?" Though Allah
knows more than those angels. The angels say, "Those people are doing
your Tasbeeh, Tahmeed, and Tamjeed."Rab Ta'ala says, "Have they seen
me?" The angels say, "We swear byyour pure Entity, they have not seen
you." Rab Ta'ala says to them, "If they had seen me then what would be
their state?" The angels say, "If they could've seen you then they
would do your Tamjeed and your Tasbeeh even more."
Rab Ta'ala says, "What slaves are asking from me?" The angels say,
"They are asking for Jannat from you." Rab Ta'ala says, "Have they
seen Jannat?" The angelssay, "We swear by Your Pure Entity, they have
not seen Jannat." Rab Ta'ala says, "If they had seen Jannat then what
would be their state?" The angels say, "If these people had seen
jannat then their greed, desire, and inclination for it would
increase. Rab Ta'ala says, "What else are they doing?" The angels say,
"They are seeking refuge." Rab Ta'ala says, "From what are they
seeking refuge?" The angels say, "They are seeking refuge from Hell."
Rab Ta'ala says, "Have they seen Hell?" The angels say, "Oh Rab, we
swear by Your Pure Entity, they have not seen it." Rab Ta'ala, "If
they had seen it then what would be their state?" The angels say, "If
they had seen it then they would run even further away from it and
fear it even more.
Rab Ta'ala says, "angels, Be witnesses that I have forgiven them." An

who do Zikr, he is there for some necessity of his/her." Rab Ta'ala

not deprived." (Bukhari)

HIScourt. (Muslim)

asked them, "Why have you gathered here?" Some people of the Jammat
replied, "We have gathered here for the Zikr and Hamd of Allah because
by guidingus towards Islam He did favor on us. Rasool Allah said, "By
Allah, have you gathered only for this (purpose)?" They said, "By
Allah, we have gathered here only for such purpose. Rasool Allah said,

because Jibraeel came to me and told me that Allah Azzawajal boasts of
you in the gathering of the angels. (Muslim)
