Prophet said -
1. “God says: I am with My servant according to his expectations of me. When he remembers Me, I am with him. If he remembers Me in his mind I remember him likewise; and if he remembers Me among people, I remember him in a better assembly than his; and if he comes one span to Me, I go one cubit to him; and if he comes one cubit to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running. ” – Hadis Qudsi: Bukhari . N: Abu Hurairah.
2, “He who remembers God and he who does not are likened to the living and the dead’ – H: Bukhari & Muslim. N: Abu Musa.
3. “Be God-conscious (and) you will find Him in front of you. Be God-conscious and God will protect you!” – H: Tirmizi. N: Abdullah ibn Abbas.
If we do not remember God the Most Gracious, we are being ungrateful to Him. It is clear, as His representatives, we have to act first and then He responds.
