Prophet Ismail (AS) and his father Ibrahim (AS) performed one of the greatest acts of worship—building the Kaaba. Despite their high status, they pleaded with Allah to accept their service, teaching us the importance of humility after doing good.
رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
Rabbana taqabbal minna innaka Antas-Sami'ul-'Alim.
Our Lord, accept from us. Indeed, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
