The ultimate goal in this temporary life is to attain true servitude to Allah. One must constantly exert great effort in order to reform themselves until one becomes fully obedient to Allah and becomes one of His beloved. This is achieved by perpetually being engrossed in different types of worship such as Dhikr (remembrance), sending salutations on our beloved Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace), Tahajjud and other optional salat, fasting, reciting the Holy Qur'an, abundantly seeking forgiveness from Allah and much more. True worship creates a special light of guidance and insight in an individual, allowing them to taste the real sweetness of iman: It strengthens a person to shun evil and refrain from all types of wrongdoings, transgression, and sin.
