[And hasten towards forgiveness from your Lord, and a Paradise that stretches over the heavens and earth, prepared for those who are conscious of Allah.]

- Holy Qur'aan, 3:133

Sayyiduna Anas Ibn Malik Radiyallahu Anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu `Alayhi Wa Sallam said: "When the night of power comes then Jibreel Alayhis Salaam descends with a large group of angels, sending salutations upon every one who is standing and sitting, remembering Allah. When the day of their Eid comes, Allah boasts to His angels, saying: "Oh My angels! What is the remuneration of the worker that has completed his work?" They reply: Oh our Lord! His reward is that his remuneration is complete." Allah replies: "Oh My angels! My servants have fulfilled My obligation upon them, and then they came out earnestly seeking Me in supplication. By My Might, My Honour, My Generosity, My Greatness and My Exaltation, I will surely respond to them." Then Allah says: "Return (on this day) for I have forgiven you, and I have replaced your misdeeds with your good deeds." They return with a clean slate, completely forgiven.
