Hadhrat Mawlana Mohammad Taqi Usmani (may Allah preserve him) said,

“The similitude of our daily basic recitations (ma’moolat/wird) is like wheels of a vehicle. They are essential for it to move. The love of Allah, most High, is like the fuel in its engine. Both are necessary for it to run. Lacking either of them is disastrous. To progress both are essential.

These ma’moolat and love are directly propotional to each other. The consistency in ma’moolat leads to increase in love and this enhanced love leads to further increase in worship and servitude. ”
