*_A Reminder Benefits the Believers_*

Allah's Messenger ﷺ said,
*"There are seven whom Allah will shade with the shade of His [throne] on the day when there will be no shade except the shade of His [throne]",* from them:
*"A man who remembers Allāh in private and his eyes well up with tears."* [Saheeh al-Bukharee]

Hafiz ibn Rajab, stated regarding the above,

*"This is a man who fears Allah in secret, he is conscious of Allah when he is alone, and the best of deeds is to fear Allah in secret and openly. And the fear of Allah when alone emanates from strong emaan (faith), and striving against the soul and desires. For desires allure a person to sins when alone, for this reason it was said; _"from the rarest of things is the fear of Allah in secret."_*

*"The remembrance of Allah includes remembering the greatness of Allah, His seizing (of the evil doers), His requital (for sins) and His punishment, and the crying that emanates from this is the crying of fear of Allah.*

_And remembrance of Allah also consists of remembering the beauty of Allah_

_(by way of His beautiful names and lofty attributes), His perfection, His kindness, His benevolence, His miracles (which He bestows upon) His allies with various types of kindness and benevolence, and especially seeing Him in Paradise. The crying that stems from this is the weeping of yearning and longing to meet Allah._

*And this also includes, a man who remembers that Allah is with him (by way of His knowledge, seeing and hearing) wherever he is, so he remembers Allāh encompasses and is close to him (by way of His knowledge, hearing, seeing, power etc), and observes him wherever he is, so he cries out of shyness of Him."*
