The Meaning of Worship

 

The saying of Allaah – the Most High -:

 

“I did not create the jinn nor mankind except to worship Me.”

[Soorah adh-Dhaariyaat 51:56]

 

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H) said: “Al-‘ibaadah (worship) is obedience to Allaah by following that which He ordered upon the tongues of His Messengers.”  He also said: “Al-‘ibaadah is a comprehensive term covering everything that Allaah loves and is pleased with – whether sayings or actions, outward or inward.” [2]
