The answer

Sincere faith is the foundation for attaining divine devotion (Rabbaniyyah), parental رضا (pleasure), and winning Paradise. Faith wears out and weakens just as a garment wears out, so one must ask Allah to renew it in the heart.

To renew and strengthen faith, and to reach the rank of Rabbaniyyah, a believer must: 1. Revive and strengthen faith by increasing acts of obedience and good deeds. 2. Turn to Allah with sincerity, making His pleasure the ultimate goal and objective. 3. Strive continuously to achieve the highest ranks in Paradise. 4. Emulate the righteous among the Companions, the Tabi'un (followers), and the Pious Predecessors. 5. Utilize every moment to increase one's spiritual balance (imaan). 6. Choose righteous companionship that aids in obedience. 7. Increase good deeds that bring happiness in this world and the Hereafter. 8. Perform night prayers ( al-Layl) and supplicate at dawn. 9. Continuously recite and ponder the Qur'an. 10. Be keen on spreading Da'wah (invitation to Islam) and working for the religion.

Rabbaniyyah is achieved by dedicating one's life, death, movements, and stillness entirely to Allah alone, and worshipping Him in its comprehensive sense, not merely through rituals.
