[They] pass the night [in adoration] for their Lord- Who are they? Speech Excerpt

When My servants commit evil deeds, sin and are disobedient then My punishment comes into action, but when I see My thankful worshipful servants, those that perform night vigils [tahajjud], wake up at night and cry, put their heads in prostration before Me, and plead deliverance from sins and forgiveness: Then I look at them and I recall My punishment even from the disobedient. ….
