SERVANTS OF GOD

Righteous Personality

A PERSON once asked the Prophet Muhammad: “Who are the people close to God?” The Prophet replied: “They are people who when you see them, you are reminded of God. In this Hadith, 'being reminded of God when you see them' means your meeting and interaction with them will be a source of the remembrance of God.

When someone discovers the Truth and begins to live in the fear and the love of God, he develops a certain level of seriousness. Everything he speaks is, directly or indirectly, a mention or remembrance of God. He seeks the pleasure of God in all his affairs and sees the 'hand' of God in everything. As a result, his life becomes very different from that of others. His talk is coloured with the hue of God. Whatever he speaks contains spiritual insight for those who listen to him. He does not speak anything unnecessary and frivolous. Instead, everything that he speaks is related to God. The result of his speech is such that people who gather around him begin to benefit from his talk.

Commenting on the above-mentioned Hadith, one of the scholar says: “It probably means that these people tell other people about God and make them remember Him.”
