The answer

To achieve the delight of worship and to feel Allah's closeness, one should be mindful of Allah's observation of you and the possibility of death after worship, according to the hadith: "Worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, He surely sees you." Avoid praying in places of amusement. Know that congregational prayer is most likely obligatory. Beware of fearing people while not fearing Allah, for that is the state of the hypocrites: "They seek to hide from people and do not seek to hide from Allah, and He is with them." Remember that the pleasures of this world are fleeting, and the Hereafter is better and more lasting. Accompany righteous youth in worship, for Satan is with the solitary one.
