According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, particularly the comprehensive definition by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Worship (Ibadah) is an all-encompassing term for 'every saying and action, both inward and outward, that Allah loves and is pleased with.' This concept extends far beyond mere rituals; it is the very purpose of creation as stated in the Quran (51:56). Ibadah is built on the perfection of both love and humility towards God. As explained by scholars like Ibn Kathir and Al-Qurtubi, it involves obedience to God's commands and submission in all aspects of life. Therefore, Ibadah transforms a Muslim's entire existence—from prescribed prayers (Salah) and charity (Zakah) to ethical business dealings and kindness to family—into a continuous state of devotion, provided the acts are done with sincerity (Ikhlas) for Allah alone and in accordance with the guidance of His Prophet.
