Salaah the Muslim prayer

IBADAH

The word Ibadah comes from the Arabic “Abd”, which means slave or servant of Allah.

Man is a born subject and servant of Allah. When he turns to Allah with humility and devotion, he performs an act of Ibadah.

 Ibadah is a means for purifying man’s physical and spiritual life. In Islam every good deed performed to seek the pleasure of Allah is an act of worship.

The obligatory rituals of Ibadah are prayers (Salaah), fasting (Saum), charity (Zakah), Pilgrimage (Hajj) and struggling in the ways of Allah (Jihad). These along with Iman (faith) are often called the pillars of Islam. Islam is an integral whole.

It covers all aspects of man’s life. The pillars unite all human activities, spiritual and material, individual and collective.

 The obligatory rituals of Ibadah allow “faith” (Iman) to play a practical and effective role in human life.

 Ibadah is therefore something positive. It is a means by which the faithful can serve Allah as well as theirfellow men.
