When you want to please Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), turn to the Dua for the excellence of eemembrance and glorification of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى).

Some of the most authentic hadith records have given us duas for remembering and glorifying Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). One basic version of this dua has been reported in Hisnul 254 [Al-Bukhari 7/168, Muslim 4/2071]. Several other hadith sources report similar wording or phrases with such supplications, including citations in Hisnul 255 [Al-Bukhari 7/67, Muslim 4/2071], Hisnul 256 [Al-Bukhari 7/168, Muslim 4/2072], [Hisnul 258], [Muslim 4/2073] and more.

Some sources state that there are at least four degrees in the remembrance of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). These include:
For instance, a person might be performing dhikr while his heart and mind are immersed in daily work. While he might be absorbed in stocking shelves or driving, his tongue is busy praising Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). This state is better than having the tongue utter useless words or potentially harmful speech.
It requires some exertion to bring the heart into a state of remembering and glorifying Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). At any point, the heart might go back to worldly distractions and need discipline again.
This is an excellent state to be in. The heart is now full of inclination towards remembering Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). It does not find complete pleasure in anything else.
This is a high spiritual level, where the heart is completely devoted to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and not just remembrance.
