The Meaning of
Ibādah and Islām
Ibn
Kathīr (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ)
said:
Ibādah
is obedience to Allāh by acting upon
what He commands, abandoning what He forbids, and this is the reality and
essence of Islām. And the meaning of Islām is: Istislām (submission and
surrender) to Allāh (سُبحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) along with the utmost
compliance, humility, and submissiveness to Him.”
