Like Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), we must seek Allah's acceptance for every act of worship that we do for His sake.

 

Az-Zumar [Quran]

  “I have been ordered to  worship Allah , making my submission  exclusive to Him .

Quran 99:07

  The Virtues of Surat Az-Zalzalah Imam Ahmad recorded from `Abdullah bin `Amr that he said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah and said, `Teach me what to recite, O Messenger of Allah!' The Prophet said, «اقْرَأْ ثَلَاثًا مِنْ ذَوَاتِ الر» (Recite three from those which begin with the letters Alif, Lam, Ra') The man then said to him, `I have become old in age, my heart has hardened and my tongue has become harsh.' The Prophet said, «فَاقْرَأْ مِنْ ذَوَاتِ حم» (Then recite from those which begin with the letters Ha-Mim.) The man said the same thing as he had said before, so the Prophet said, «اقْرَأْ ثَلَاثًا مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحَات» (Recite three from the Musabbihat.) The man again said the same thing as he had said before. Then the man said, `Rather give me something to recite that is comprehensive (of all of these), O Messenger of Allah.' So the Prophet told him to recite إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الاٌّرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا (When the earth quakes with its Zilzal.) Then when h...

Allah—there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He has the Most Beautiful Names. Quran 20:8

  Which was revealed at Makkah بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Qur'an is a Reminder and a Revelation from Allah We have already discussed the separated letters at the beginning of Surah Al-Baqarah, so there is no need to repeat its discussion here. Allah says, مَآ أَنَزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَى (We have not sent down the Qur'an unto you to cause you distress,) Juwaybir reported that Ad-Dahhak said, "When Allah sent the Qur'an down to His Messenger , he and his Companions adh- ered to it. Thus, the idolators of the Quraysh said, `This Qur'an was only reve- aled to Muhammad to cause him distress.' Therefore, Allah revealed, طه - مَآ أَنَزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَى - إِلاَّ تَذْكِرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَى (Ta Ha. We have not sent down the Qur'an unto you to cause you distress, but only as a Reminder to those who fear (Allah).) The matter is not like the people of falsehoo...

remember Me; I will remember you. And thank Me, and never be ungrateful.

  Muhammad's ﷺ Prophecy is a Great Bounty from Allah Allah reminds His believing servants with what He has endowed them with by sending Muhammad ﷺ as a Messenger to them, reciting to them Allah's clear Ayat and purifying and cleansing them from the worst types of behavior, the ills of the souls and the acts of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era). The Messenger also takes them away from the darkness (of disbelief) to the light (of faith) and teaches them the Book, the Qur'an, and the Hikmah (i.e., the wisdom), which is his Sunnah. He also teaches them what they knew not. During the time of Jahiliyyah, they used to utter foolish statements. Later on, and with the blessing of the Prophet's Message and the goodness of his prophecy, they were elevated to the status of the Awliya' (loyal friends of Allah) and the rank of the scholars. Hence, they acquired the deepest knowledge among the people, the most pious hearts, and the most truthful tongues. Allah said: لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللَّه...
