ⓘ The Basics - Two Conditions For Worship To Be Accepted
🟩 What Is Worship?
Al-ʿIbādah – worship – is a comprehensive term encompassing everything beloved and pleasing to Allāh, both actions and statements, whether visible or hidden. This is the best (definition) of worship.
Worship is a great matter because Allāh created the creation, sent Messengers, and revealed the Books to instruct them to worship Him alone and prohibit them from worshipping others besides Him. Allāh says:
وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ
And I (Allāh) created not the Jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).
*Note; the definition the Shaykh mentioned was mentioned originally by Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah - رحمه الله -
