Is it true that whoever recites Surat Al-Ikhlas (Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad) 3626 times while in a state of ritual purity (wudu'), facing the Qiblah, and without speaking, Allah will fulfill their need, no matter how great, as stated in the book "Mafatih Al-Faraj"?

Reciting the Quran is among the greatest acts of worship, and Surat Al- is mighty because it encompasses the Oneness of God.

Allah only accepts worship that is sincerely for His sake and conforms to His law.
