His intention is that if I worship Allah he will be with me  and help me in all the problems of my life. Then will he get the reward  of his deeds on the Day of Judgment. Or what if someone prays to Allah  to get closer to him?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Whether  we worship the Almighty to get close to Him, or to get His help or to  go to his promised paradise the fact of the matter is that we are  worshipping Him because He is worthy of being worshipped. Therefore in  principle it does not matter which of His particular blessings we are  aiming for when we are worshipping Him. An honest act of worship will be  accepted by the Almighty regardless.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>However,  there is no doubt that the better and purer a person is, the more he  feels that he needs to worship God not only for rewards in this world or  the hereafter and not to merely avoid His punishments, but out of love  and respect that a servant has for his unique Lord.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-03<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6838\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us  suppose someone is worshipping Allah but his intention when praying is  not that may Allah save him from the hellfire and enter him into the  paradise.
