The answer

The honor and glory mentioned in the are honor with Allah and glory through Him. The true honor of a believer lies in their standing (in prayer) at night, reciting (the Qur'an), praying, and remembering (Allah). Their glory is in their independence from people and not presenting their needs to them, relying on Allah Almighty. These prophetic uses of linguistic terms aim to alert listeners to the true and most fitting meanings of these words, and that sincere worship of Allah can grant its practitioner honor and glory in this world and the hereafter.
