Thank you for your question. Satan will try anything. There was a story of a mystic where Satan came to him at prayer time and tell him to pray just so that a he may be confused into obeying him. The mystic said I am praying but not because you told me and continued his worship. The best way to deal with Satan is to ignore your doubts and to be sure of what you are doing and why you are doing it.

It is not the way of real worship to force it on people. Worship is a link between Human beings and their Creator Allah (SWT) and it must be performed with sincere will and intention for the sake of Allah. Forced worship done to please some one else other than Allah is not valid.

Wassalam.

Thank you for your question. Enjoying worship stems from the feeling of God's presence and His love within. For these feelings, a person needs to be calm, not in a rush to perform another task and sincere in their pursuit. They need to comprehend how much they need worship and how it is their lifeline to a connection to the Divine and all that is truly spiritual. If worship is approached humbly, lovingly and beautifully then a person will find solace in worshipping and will deeply value their connection with God, which is a connection of love and happiness.
