"Go and enter among My servants"

Enter upon my righteous, believing worshippers as you are one of them. The righteous worshippers of Allah are those He has favored with His grace. They are the best category of people. Mankind can be classified into three groups: those who received favor, those who earned anger, and those who are astray. Each group is mentioned in Sūrah al-Fātiḥah:

صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنسَْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ  اِهْدِنسََا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ 

 عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا الضَّالِّينَ

Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You bestowed favor, neither of those who earned (Your) anger, nor of those who are astray.

The first group, those whom Allah has bestowed favor upon, includes the prophets, the truthful, martyrs, and the righteous.

وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنسَْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ 

 وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا

And whoever obeys Allah and the messenger, those will be with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions. Sūrah al-Nisā (4:69):
