Ibadah†means “worship.†The term is, however, much more general than the English word “worship.†It is applied both to specific religious observances such as the prayer, fasting etc. and, much more generally, to any action done for the pleasure of Allah alone. Thus, eating, drinking and interacting with others done with the proper intention are ibadah and one will be rewarded for them.
All acts of worship. Any permissible action performed with the intention to obey Allah.
worship, being a servant of God
'Ibadah has three meanings: (1) worship and adoration; (2) obedience and submission; and (3) service and subjection. The fundamental message of Islam is that man, as God's creature, should direct his 'ibadah to Him in all the above-mentioned meanings, and associate none in the rendering of it.
Worship; worship of Allah such as Salah (prayer), Zakah, and Hajj.
Literally means "worship". In Islam it refers to all those acts of worship which one renders to Allah Ta'ala.
The Arabic word Ibadah (عبادة), usually translated "worship", is connected with related words literally meaning "slavery", and has connotations of obedience, submission, and humility. Islamically speaking, Ibadah is the ultimate obedience, the ultimate submission, and the ultimate humility to God along with the ultimate love for Him. Muslims believe that Ibadah is the reason for the existence of all humanity.
