The Arabic word Ibadah (عبادة), usually translated "worship", is connected with related words literally meaning "slavery", and has connotations of obedience, submission, and humility. Islamically speaking, Ibadah is the ultimate obedience, the ultimate submission, and the ultimate humility to God along with the ultimate love for Him. Muslims believe that Ibadah is the reason for the existence of all humanity. That is, Muslims believe that all people exist to only worship God. This is the concept of worship of God in Islam. Ibadah means following Islamic beliefs and practices - its commands, prohibitions, the halal, and the haram. For Muslims, Ibadah is also something that comes from the heart, or sincerity, as a result of belief in Islam. Therefore, ibadah - worship or religion - is something that can not be forced upon another person.
