The Prophet Muhammad ( Peace be upon him ) said :" Whatever you say in celebration of God's glory, majesty and oneness, and all your words of praise for Him, gather around the Throne of God. These words resound like the buzzing of bees, and call God's attention to the person who uttered them. Don't you wish to have someone there in the presence of God who would call attention to you?"
