Like Humans Do

We said: "O Messenger of Allah, when we are in your company you talk to us of the Paradise and the Fire and we feel as if we are looking at them. But whenever we go away from you and attend to our wives, children, and business, much of these things go out of our minds."

The Messenger of Allah said: "If your state of mind were to remain the same as it is in my presence and if you were always busy in remembrance of Allah, the angels would visit you in your houses and shake hands with you in your paths. If you had not committed any sins, Allah would have replaced you by other people who would have committed sins and who would then have sought forgiveness from Allah, so that Allah would have forgiven them."

Tirmizee, Jannah 2, 2528


Human! For a moment he forgets, but then he remembers again!
