Remembrance of Allah swt

Allah swt says in Quran(2:152)
"Therefore, Remember me(by praying, glorifying), I will remember you"
at another place(62:10)
"And remember Allah much that you be successful"
and at another(33:35)
".... men and women who remember Allah much with their hearts and tongues, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward(jannah)"

These are just a few Ayahs in Quran in which Allah orders his slaves to remember him in all times, there are many more that imply the importance and virtues of remembering Allah swt. Allah swt is our Creator and what He wants from us is that we remember Him, glorify Him, ask from Him and admit Him as our Rabb.

Remembrance of Allah is the way of earning Allah's mercy and forgiveness. Aisha(R.A) narrates" The Messenger of Allah used to remember Allah at all times.
On the other hand, one who does not remember Allah swt is akin to death.
Abu Musa Al Ashari reported: "Prophet(pbuh) said " The similitude of one who remember his Rabb and one who does not remember Him, is like that of a living and dead."

Remembering Allah swt is as like enjoying the company of Allah swt. It brings the person closer and closer to Allah swt. Abu Hurairah(R.A) reported:  Prophet(pbuh) said "Allah swt says: I am as my slave expects me to be and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers me inwardly, I will remember him Inwardly and if he remembers Me in an assembly, I will remember him in a better assembly(angels)."

SubhanAllah, what honour that person has, who remember Allah swt. Allah swt of all His creation Remembers him. How Merciful and Gracious our Rabb is that for our little much of His remembrance, He rewards us so much.  May Allah swt give us the taufeeq to remember Him and may Allah swt makes us among Zakireen.
