As-Salaam alaikum, It will do us a lot of good to try to know Allah Ta'ala before and/or in trying to worship Him... One must strive to be one of 3 categories of people :(1) An aleem a person with knowledge or(2) One who seeks knowledge (a student) or(3) One who listens.Do not be one who has no knowledge, and neither studies nor listens. By all means, go attend Majlis ilm.Worship and do good deeds once you have attained knowledge of Allah Ta'ala. And when you do your Ibadah, be sure to perform it with Ikhlas (sincerity). Any act of worship that is devoid of sincerity is akin to a body without ruh (spirit). It becomes worthless as Allah will not accept it or reward it. Sheikh ibn Ata'illah as-Sankandari said: "Your amal has ruh only when there is Ikhlas in it."The Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, in a Hadith-Qudsi reported that Allah Ta'ala says that sincerity is one secret of His secrets. Allah keeps the secret of Ikhlas in the hearts of His chosen servants."
