ABSTRACT

‘Ibadah is the purpose of creation. ‘Ibadah in Islam is a comprehensive concept that embraces all human endeavours. Whatever humans do in sincerity and without disobeying any of Allah’s commands is a form of worship and they will be rewarded for it. The concept and purpose of worship in Islam is unparallel to any other religion in existence. It combines the mundane with the spiritual, the individual with the society, and the internal soul with the external body. Worship has a unique role in Islam, and through worship, a person is regarded as a true Muslim who accords his entire life to the Will of Allah ^(s.w.t). This article attempts to describe the concept of ‘Ibadah (Worship) in Islam in a precise way.
