The Gardens of Paradise – Abdur Rahman’s Corner
Peace, one and all…
On the authority of Jabir b. Abdallah, who said: “The Messenger of God – may God bless and greet him – came out to us and said: ‘O people, alight and graze in the gardens of Paradise!’ We asked him: ‘O Messenger of God, what are the gardens of Paradise?’ He answered: ‘The gathering at which God is remembered. So, go forth, morning and evening, and remember God. Let anyone who wishes to know his standing with God see what standing God has with him! For God – praise be to Him – grants everyone the same standing as one oneself grants to Him!’ ”
Quoted in al-Qushayri’s Risala
