Book excerpt:
WHY DID ALLAH CREATE US?
A: 1 He created us to worship Him and associate nothing with Him. God Almighty says: “I have only created jinns and men, that they should worship me” (Qur’an 51:56) The Holy Prophet peace be upon him says:
“Man’s duty to Allah is to worship Him and associate nothing with Him”
(Hadith agreed upon regarding its authenticity)
Q: 2 WHAT IS IBAADAH (THE ISLAMIC FORM OF WORSHIP)
A: 2 IBAADAH is a comprehensive name for all what Allah likes in words and in deeds like supplication, prayer (salat), sacrifices etc. Allah Almighty says:
“Say truly, my prayer, my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds” (Qur’an 6:162).
THE HOLY PROPHET says: “Allah the Almighty said: My servant does not please me with anything more beloved to me than the religious duties I have imposed upon him” (Related by Bukhari)
