Look Out for These

1. Being conscious of your Lord is the accumulation of all good;
2.Striving in his path (jihad) is seeking closeness to Allah;
3. Remember Allah often by reciting the Qur’an for it is light for you on earth and a means to be mentioned in the heavens.
Being mentioned in the heavens among angels, is an honour!
The following scenario is unmatched to the statement above. However, imagine your spouse mentioning your good qualities to their mum or dad.
And your Lord says:
Ash-Shura 42:52
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ رُوحࣰا مِّنۡ أَمۡرِنَاۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدۡرِي مَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ وَلَا ٱلۡإِيمَٰنُ وَلَٰكِن جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُورࣰا نَّهۡدِي بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهۡدِيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطࣲ مُّسۡتَقِيمࣲ
And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command [i.e., the Qur’ān]. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith, but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, [O Muḥammad], you guide to a straight path
