In Islam, worship plays a vital role in the purification of the soul, known as “Tazkiyah”. Worship is seen as a means to:

1. _Cleanse the heart_: Remove impurities, such as sin, pride, and envy.
2. _Develop humility_: Cultivate humility and submission to Allah.
3. _Increase self-awareness_: Recognize one’s flaws and weaknesses.
4. _Refine character_: Develop good morals, compassion, and justice.
5. _Strengthen faith_: Deepen love, trust, and devotion to Allah.
6. _Seek forgiveness_: Obtain forgiveness for past mistakes.
7. _Gain spiritual growth_: Progress towards spiritual maturity and closeness to Allah.

Various forms of worship contribute to soul purification, including:

1. _Salah (prayer)_: Regular prayer helps develop a strong connection with Allah.
2. _Sawm (fasting)_: Fasting cultivates self-control, empathy, and compassion.
3. _Zakat (charity)_: Giving to others purifies wealth and the heart.
4. _Hajj (pilgrimage)_: The Hajj journey symbolizes the soul’s journey towards Allah.
5. _Dhikr (remembrance)_: Remembering Allah frequently strengthens faith and devotion.
6. _Tawbah (repentance)_: Seeking forgiveness and making amends for past wrongs.
