11. THE MEANING OF WORSHIP IN ISLAM<br />

The meaning of worship is, simply, <strong>to</strong>tal submission and complete o<strong>be</strong>dience <strong>to</strong><br />

Allah’s commandments in <strong>be</strong>lief, intentions, statements and actions. This is<br />

achieved by striving <strong>to</strong> do what Allah has encouraged, avoiding what He has<br />

forbidden, and worshipping Him alone, according <strong>to</strong> His teachings. This is the true<br />

meaning of worship of Allah or ‘slavery <strong>to</strong> Allah’ in Islam, and this state applies <strong>to</strong><br />

all of the messengers and true followers of Allah. May He enable all of His<br />

followers <strong>to</strong> achieve this level of worship.<br />
