Meaning of Al-'Ibaadah (Worship of Allah SWT) in Religion Islam

In this usual column, I would like to highlight the basic meaning of Al-'Ibadaah that is faithfully and submission to Allah SWT which has a strong to link to the action of proper Aqeedah by the Muslim believe per see. The deviation of Aqeedah one's would be nullified from the religion Islam of which in Shariah is noted to have various true definition of the words of the 'Ibaadah especially in numerous surah in Al-Qur'an. Let us observe one of the chosen verse in Adh-Dhariyat as mentioned below:

Surah Adh-Dhariyat verse 58: (The wind that scatter)

"And I (Allah) created not the jinn, men and women except they should worship Me [Allah]. I seek not any provision [i.e provision for themselves or for my creatures] nor do I ask that they should Me [i.e feed themselves or my creatures]. Verily, Allah is the Allah Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong."

From the above verse of the surah Adh-Dhariyat stipulated that the wisdom behind creating the jinn and human being is that they establish His worship. So, he who does not worship Allah SWT is arrogant. Those Muslims who worship Allah SWT others with Him is Murshik that is one who associate partners with Allah SWT. Those are the people who worsip Him other then what He has legislated is an innovator but those who worship Him alone is a Muslimin that a Muslim believer who hold seadfast and establish Tawheed is a true Muslim believer.

Further more as according to Shariah, the meaning of Al-'Ibadaah is to worhip Allah SWT in conformity to what Allah SWT has ordained through His Messenger Prophet s.a.w. It is the utmost  submission with the true of Allah SWT. In other words, the true meaning of Al-'Ibaadah is that it is the comprehensive for everything that Allah SWT loved and pleased with the devoted Muslims faithfully abide by the rulings of the fundamental and principal of religion Islam.

Finally, submission or Al-'Ibaadah to Allah SWT is categorized as the worship of the mouth, tongue and limbs of the Muslims. This include fear, hope, love, reliance, desire reverence are the worship of the heart such as establish As-Solat, disburse and payment of Zakat, performing Al-Hajj and every other obligations as stated in the tenets and pillars of our religion of Islam.

Allah is All-Provider and Most Strong.
