O Allah! If I worship You for fear of Hell, burn me in Hell, and if I worship You in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise. But if I worship You for Your Own sake, grudge me not Your everlasting Beauty.--Ya Allah, jika aku menyembah Mu karena takut neraka, bakarlah aku di dalamnya, dan jika aku menyembah Mu karena mengharap surga, campakkanlah aku darinya. Tetapi, jika aku menyembah Mu demi Engkau semata, Janganlah Engkau enggan memperlihatkan keindahan wajah Mu Yang abadi padaku. Anonymous

The Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him, is reported to have said: “The greatest of all matters on which people differ is prayer. So if you are not sure of your prayer, pray to Allah to make you certain.” This is a very powerful statement because it challenges us to challenge ourselves in our worship.
