Introduction

Allah created mankind to be tested in life . Allah said: ((who has created death and life that he may test you which of you is best in deed and he is the ALL-Mighty , the Oft- Forgiving )) .

Mankind purpose of life should be to elevate oneself to the highest spiritual levels , this should be done to gain ALLAH's blessing and paradise , ALLAH said : (( indeed the succeed who purifies his ownself and indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself )) .

As such , Islam came as a constitutional system for life . it is essential to first isolate oneself from all criminal and satanic ways of thinking before applying the Islamic justice . The result of this will bring Muslim to become the inheritant of earth in this life; and paradise in the hereafter . ALLAH said : (( so flee to ALLAH . verily , I am a plain Warner to you from him )) . which means fleeing to ALLAH's obedience and rewards.

For these reasons , we were asked to pray five times a day and the remembrance of ALLAH's name at all times ; because remembering ALLAH prevents wrong doing , and straights the Muslim behavior . ALLAH said (( in the remembrance of ALLAH do hearts find rest )) . AISHAH "may ALLAH be pleased with her'' narrated that prophet Muhammad "pbuh" was in remembrance at ALLAH at every occasion .

(( therefor remember ME ; I will remember you , and be grateful to ME and never be ungrateful to me ))

ALLAH also said : (( o you who believe remember ALLAH with much remembrance ))

ALLAH has placed those who remember him at the heights rightful levels . he said : ((and the men who remember ALLAH much with their hearts and tongues ALLAH has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward )) .

ALLAH said in the holy saying narrated by prophet Mohammad "once a group of people gather to remember ALLAH , ALLAH will have his angels surrounding them , and they will be blessed "the prophet also said " Allah will bring upon you a group of people , in their faces bright light , sitting on seats of diamond , loved by humans , they are not messengers nor they are people who came together from different trips , met on the love of ALLAH and met to remember him } .
