Living in the Remembrance  of Almighty  for ever

The Prophet (pbuh) said: "He who remembers his Lord and he who does not remember his Lord are like the living and the dead." –
 "The house in which Allah is remembered and the house in which Allah is not remembered is like the living and the dead."

Allah the All-Mighty has said: "Therefore remember Me. I will remember you. Be grateful to Me and never show Me ingratitude" - Al-Baqarah 2:152  And He said: "And remember your Lord by your tongue and within yourself, humbly and in awe, without loudness, by words in the morning and in the afternoon, and be not among those who are neglectful." - Al-Araf 7:205  A true Muslim lives in the remembrance of Almighty always.
