God's Prophet (a.s) said: “The similitude of a believer is like that of the nearby-stationed angel. A believer's respect near God is very high. He is even nobler to Him than the nearby- stationed angel. Nothing is more loved by God than a repenting man or woman. A believer is as well known in the heavens above as a man is known to his wife and children.”
وقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): مثل المؤمن كمثل ملك مقرب، وأن المؤمن أعظم حرمة عند الله وأكرم عليه من ملك مقرب، وليس شئ أحب إلى الله من مؤمن تائب ومؤمنة تائبة، وأن المؤمن يعرف في السماء كما يعرف الرجل أهله وولده.
