All our actions are weighed by balance not counted this means a weight in worship (ibadat) is only through abstention from shrik in all actions.the greater you abstain from all forms of shrik in action the greater the weight of ibadat.

Razai haq- it adds weight to ibadat.That is check if your action is in accordance with shariat .do the action and beg for Allahs consent and approval this is called fazal haq . pray not to show his anger for your actions

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
