This section introduces the foundations of worship in Islam and explains its importance in a Muslim’s life. Worship is everything that Allah loves and is pleased with, such as prayer, charity, remembrance, and good deeds.
It highlights that:
The purpose of life is to worship Allah alone.
Worship includes both outward actions (like prayer, fasting, zakah, Hajj) and inward actions (like sincerity, reliance, gratitude, patience, and love of Allah).
The two conditions for accepted worship are: sincerity for Allah and following the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Acts of worship are many: Salah, Zakah, fasting, Hajj, du‘ā’, dhikr, Qur’an recitation, seeking knowledge, maintaining family ties, being kind to parents, helping the needy, and good character.
Neglecting worship or doing it for showing off makes it invalid.
The section emphasizes that worship connects the servant with Allah, brings tranquility, forgiveness, and Paradise, while abandoning it leads to misery and loss in this life and the Hereafter.
