And what are the meadows of the Garden?” He said: “The gatherings of remembrance; go there in the mornings and in the evenings and remember (Allah).

And whoever likes to know (what is) his position near Allah, he should see what is the position of Allah near him (i.e., in his heart); because surely Allah gives a servant the same position which the servant gives to Allah, vis-à-vis, his own self.
