Which status would be higher than having your humble person appreciated and mentioned by Allah Almighty to a gathering of high-esteemed Angels?
That is only one of the many valuable advantages you gain trough frequent remembrance of Allah ( dhikr Allah ). The special position of this easy act of worship is frequently emphasized by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who "used to remember Allah all the time" (Abu Dawud)
Reviewing reward promised for those who remember Allah should fill us with pity for all the hours we waste without seizing these amazingly easy opportunities.
The following collection reveals the significance of this beautiful type of worship and the great reward you can reap through it.

How to Rejuvenate Your Daily Supplications
1. Abu Ad-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet said:
"Shall I not inform you of the best of your actions, the purest in the sight of your Lord, which raises your rank to the highest, which is better for you than spending gold and silver, better than meeting your enemy so that you strike at their necks and they strike at yours?' They replied: 'Yes, indeed,' and he said: 'It is the remembrance of Allah." (At-Tirmidhi)
A Special Status
2. Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet said:
"Allah says, "I treat My servant as he hopes that I would treat him. I am with him whenever he remembers Me:
if he thinks of Me, I think of him;
if he mentions Me in company, I mention him in an even better company.
if he draws near to Me a hand's span, I draw near to him an arm's length;
if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw closer by a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running." (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Follow the Shari`ah Zone
3. Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet said:
"The similitude of someone who remembers his Lord and someone who does not is like that of the living and the dead. " (Al-Bukhari)
4. Abdullah ibn Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that One of the Prophet's Companions said,
"O Messenger of Allah. I am overwhelmed by the so many injunctions of Islam. So tell me something to which I may hold fast."
The Prophet replied, " Keep your tongue wet with the remembrance of Allah. " (At Tirmidhi)
Abundant Forgiveness
5. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) also reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who says, ' Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdih ' (Glory and praise be to Allah) one hundred times a day, his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the sea. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
6. Zaid ibn Harithah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whosoever says:
' Astaghfirullaha al-`Azeem al-ladhi la ilaha illa howa Al-Hayy al-Qayyum wa atubu illayh
(I ask forgiveness of Allah, the Magnificent, than Whom there is no deity, the Living, the Sustainer of existence, and I turn to Him in repentance,)
his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from the battlefield (while he was engaged in fighting for the Cause of Allah, which is a grave sin in Islam). (Abu Dawud and authenticated by Al-Albani)
Huge Reward
7. Anas ibn Malik narrated that the Prophet said:
" Whoever prays Fajr Prayer in congregation, and then sits and remembers Allah until the sun rises, then (after a while) prays two rak` has , he will gain a reward equal to that of making perfect Hajj and `Umrah. [The Prophet repeated the word "perfect" thrice.] (At-Tirmidhi)
8. Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet said:
He who repeats after every prayer:
Subhan Allah ( Glory be to Allah ) thirty-three times,
Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah) thirty-three times,
Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest) thirty-three times;
and completes the hundred with:
La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa `ala kulli shai'in qadir
(There is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner. His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent)
will have all his sins pardoned even if they may be as large as the foam on the surface of the sea. (Muslim)
9. Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who utters ten times:
La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahulmulku wa lahulhamdu, wa Huwa `ala kulli sha'in qadir
(There is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner. His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent),
he will have a reward equal to that for freeing four slaves from the progeny of Prophet Isma`il. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
10. Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet said:
" There are two statements that are light on the tongue, heavy on the scales, and beloved to the Most Merciful:
Subahana Allahi wa bihamdih
Subhana Allahi Al-`Azeem
(Glory and praise be to Allah,
Glorified is Allah, the Most Great.) " (Al-Bukhari)
