“IF YOU
REMEMBER ME, I WILL REMEMBER YOU”
In the
next sentence the Holy Prophet ﷺ
said that Allah Ta’alah mentions these people who have gathered for his Zikr
(remembrance), in His own gathering that these people have gathered solely for
the purpose of remembering Me, talking about Me, and to listen about My Deen,
and mentions that gathering in front of the angels around Him. This is a great
reward as it is not a small matter that Allah Ta’alah does Zikr of worthless
human beings.
It was
our duty to remember Allah Ta’alah. Instead, Allah Ta’alah first ordered us فاذکرونی “Remember
Me”, and then immediately promised its reward اذکرکم “I
will remember you”. If you do My Zikr, I will do your Zikr. Our Zikr has no
value for Allah Ta’alah. If we do His Zikr, it does not add anything to Allah’s
Greatness. If the entire world stops doing His Zikr, it will not take away
anything from or diminish even by a miniscule amount Allah’s Greatness. But it
is not a small matter if Allah Ta’alah does a human being’s Zikr.
