Dr. Tahir Wyatt حفظه الله will teach ‘The Explanation of Al-Ubudiyyah by Ibn Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah. Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimehullah) replied,
Al-'Ibaadah is a term which comprises everything that Allah (SWT) loves and approves of from the
apparent and hidden sayings and deeds. In this context As-Salaat (prayer); Az-Zakaat (charity tax);
As-Siyaam (fasting); Al-Hajj (pilgrimage); truthfulness in speech; trustworthiness; kindness to parents;
maintaining kind relationship with relatives; fulfilling pledges; enjoining the good and forbidding the
evil; striving against Al-Kuffaar (the faith rejectors) and the hypocrites; beneficience to the neighbor,
the orphan, the poor, the wayfarer, and the owned beings whether human or animal; Ad-Du'aa
(supplication); Adth-Dthikr (remembrance of Allah); Al-Qiraa-ah (recitation of Al-Quraan); and the like
are all part of Al-'Ibaadah.
