Dedicate time specifically for worshipping God through both fasting & praying

In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is teaching us about the beloved fasting and prayer of Prophet David. He said that the most beloved fasting to Allah was when he would fast on alternate days. Additionally, he said that the most beloved prayer to Allah was when he would sleep for half of the night, then pray for one third of it, followed by sleeping again for a sixth part. This teaches us how important it is to dedicate time in our lives specifically for worshiping Allah through both fasting and praying. We should strive to make our worship as perfect as possible so we can gain His pleasure in return.
