Summary: Surah Ghāfir (40:10-15). Worshipping Allah (S) only because He bestows His favors upon you is not really worship. A Muslim cannot afford to worship God conditionally. In this lecture: Tauhīd, shirk, tanzīl, ikhlās; unconditional worship and shirk in intention; the whole point of worship; an understanding of success; the ranks of sincere worshippers and the Raiser of ranks.
