الدرس السادس: بَيانُ معنَى العِبادةِ

[عبد الله الداخل]

الدرس السادس: بَيانُ معنَى العِبادةِ
العِبادةُ هي: التَّذلُّلُ والخُضوعُ والانقيادُ مع شدَّةِ المحبَّةِ والتعظيمِ.
وكلُّ عَمَلٍ يُتقرَّبُ به إلى المَعْبودِ فهو عِبادةٌ.
ولذلك فإنَّ العبادةَ الشَّرْعِيَّةَ هي اسمٌ جامعٌ لكلِّ ما يُحبُّه اللهُ ويَرْضاهُ من الأقوالِ والأعمالِ الظاهرةِ والباطنةِ.
والعبادةُ تكونُ بالقلبِ واللسانِ والجوارحِ، وقد أمَرَ اللهُ تعالى بإخلاصِ العبادةِ له وَحْدَه لا شَريكَ له؛ قال اللهُ تعالى: ﴿هُوَ الْحَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (65)﴾ [غافر: 65].
وقال تعالى: ﴿قُلْ إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَهُ الدِّينَ﴾ [الزمر: 11].
وأمَرَ اللهُ باتِّباعِ رسولِه صلى الله عليه وسلم وأداءِ العبادةِ على الهَدْيِ الذي بَيَّنَهُ لنا، قال اللهُ تعالى: ﴿وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ﴾[النحل: 44]، وقال: ﴿وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا﴾ [الحشر: 7]
واللهُ تعالى لا يَقْبَلُ عبادةً من أحدٍ إلا بتَحْقيقِ هَذَينِ الشَّرْطينِ: الإخلاصِ والمُتابعةِ.
والعبدُ لا يكونُ مسلمًا حتى يُخْلِصَ الدِّينَ للهِ تعالى، ويَتَّبِعَ الرسولَ صلى اللهُ عليه وسلم.
فمَن أدَّى العبادةَ خالصةً للهِ تعالى، وصَوابًا على سُنَّةِ رسولِ اللهِ صلى اللهُ عليه وسلم فهي عبادةٌ صحيحةٌ، وعَمَلٌ صالِحٌ.

وقد بَيَّن اللهُ تعالى لنا في كتابِه الكريمِ أنه خَلَقَنا لغَايةٍ عظيمةٍ، وهي عبادتُه وحدَه لا شَرِيكَ له، قال اللهُ تعالى: ﴿وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ﴾ [الذاريات: 56].
وقال تعالى: ﴿وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ﴾ [البينة: 5].
* فمَن اجْتَنَبَ الشِّرْكَ وأخْلَصَ العِبادةَ للهِ تعالى واتَّبَعَ الرَّسولَ فهو مُسلمٌ مَوعودٌ بدُخولِ الجَنَّةِ والنَّجاةِ من النارِ.
* ومَن أدَّى العباداتِ الواجبةَ؛ فامتثَلَ ما أوْجَبَه اللهُ، واجتَنَبَ ما حَرَّمَه اللهُ؛ فهو من عِبادِ اللهِ المُتَّقينَ المُؤمِنينَ الذين كتَبَ اللهُ لهم الأمنَ من العذابِ، ووَعَدَهم الفَضْلَ العظيمَ في الدنيا والآخرةِ.
* ومَن كمَّل العباداتِ الواجبةَ والمُستحبَّةَ واجتنَبَ المُحرَّماتِ والمَكْروهاتِ؛ فعَبَدَ اللهَ كأنَّه يَرَاهُ؛ فهو من عِبَادِ اللهِ المُحْسِنينَ الذين وعَدَهم اللهُ الدَّرَجاتِ العُلَى من الجَنَّةِ.

وبهذا تَعْلَمُ أن ما يَقْدَحُ في عُبودِيَّةِ العبدِ لرَبِّه عز وجل على ثَلاثِ دَرَجاتٍ:
الأُولَى: الشِّرْكُ الأكبرُ، وهو عِبادةُ غيرِ اللهِ عز وجل؛ فمَن صَرَفَ عبادةً من العباداتِ لغَيْرِ اللهِ عز وجل؛ فهو مُشرِكٌ كافرٌ، لا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ منه صَرْفًا ولا عَدْلاً، كالذين يَدْعُونَ الأصنامَ والأولياءَ والأشجارَ والأَحْجَارَ، ويَذْبَحُونَ لها ويَسْألُونَها قَضاءَ الحَوائجِ ودَفْعَ البَلاءِ.
وهؤلاء كُفَّارٌ مُشرِكونَ خارجونَ عن دينِ الإسلامِ، مَن ماتَ منهم ولم يَتُبْ فهو خَالِدٌ مُخلَّدٌ في نارِ جَهَنَّم والعياذُ باللهِ.

الدرجةُ الثانيةُ: الشِّرْكُ الأَصْغَرُ، ومنه الرِّياءُ والسُّمْعةُ، فيُزَيِّنُ العبدُ عبادتَه من صلاةٍ وصدقةٍ وغيرِها لأجلِ أنْ يَمْدَحَهُ الناسُ بذلك، فمَن فعَلَ ذلك فهو غيرُ مُخْلِصٍ للهِ تعالى الإخلاصَ الذي يَنْجُو به من العذابِ، فهو وإنْ لم يَعْبُدْ غيرَ اللهِ حقيقةً إلا أنه بطَلَبِه ثَناءَ الناسِ ومَدْحَهم وإعجابَهم قد ابْتَغَى ثَوابَ العِبادةِ من غيرِ اللهِ عز وجل، وهو مُشرِكٌ شِرْكًا أصْغَرَ يُحْبِطُ تلك العبادةَ، وقد قال النبيُّ صلى اللهُ عليه وسلم فيما يَرْويِه عن رَبِّه جل وعلا أنه قالَ: [أنَا أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عن الشِّرْكِ، مَن عَمِلَ عَمَلاً أشْرَكَ معي فيه غيري تَرَكْتُه وشِرْكَه] رواه مسلمٌ من حديثِ أبي هُريرةَ رضِي الله عنه.
ومن الشِّرْكِ الأَصْغَرِ أن يَتعَلَّقَ قَلْبُ العَبْدِ بالدنيا حتى تكونَ أكْبَرَ هَمِّه ويُضَيِّعَ بسَبَبِها الواجباتِ ويَرْتَكِبَ المُحرَّماتِ؛ فيَكونَ في قَلْبِه عُبودِيَّةٌ للدنيا، وقد قال النبيُّ صلى اللهُ عليه وسلم: ((تعِسَ عَبدُ الدِّينارِ وعَبْدُ الدِّرْهمِ وعبدُ الخَمِيصةِ إنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وإنْ لم يُعْطَ سَخِطَ، تَعِسَ وانتكَسَ وإذا شِيكَ فلا انْتَقَشَ)). رواه البخاريُّ من حديثِ أبي هُريرةَ رضِي اللهُ عنه.
وهذا دعاءٌ عليه من النبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بالتَّعاسةِ والانتكاسةِ، فكُلَّما قامَ من سَقْطةٍ وقَعَ في أُخْرَى، وإذا أُصِيبَ ببلاءٍ لم يَهْتَدِ للخُروجِ منه، وسببُ ذلك عُبودِيَّتُه للدُّنيا، وغَفْلتُه عن اللهِ جل وعلا.
وقد بَيَّن النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الضابطَ في ذلكَ فقالَ: ((إنْ أُعْطِيَ منها رَضِيَ وإن لم يُعْطَ سَخِطَ)).
فإذا كانَت همَّةُ العبدِ للدُّنيا إنْ أُعْطِيَ منها رضِيَ، وإن لم يُعْطَ ظَلَّ ساخِطًا على قَضاءِ اللهِ وقَدَرِه مُتَبَرِّمًا منه لم يَكُنْ قَلْبُه سليمًا للهِ جل وعلا، وهذا من شأنِ المُنافِقِينَ، كما قال اللهُ تعالى فيهم: ﴿وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَلْمِزُكَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُوا مِنْهَا رَضُوا وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا مِنْهَا إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ﴾ [التوبة: 58]، فرِضَاهُم لغَيْرِ اللهِ وسَخَطُهم لغيرِ اللهِ.

ومَن كان هذا حالَهُ فهو غير مخلصٍ العبادَةَ للهِ تَعَالَى، بل في قلبه عُبودِيَّةٌ لغيرِ اللهِ جَلَّ وَعَلا، وهذا أمرٌ تُشاهَدُ آثارُه فيمَن تعلَّقَ قلبُه بمالٍ أو رئاسةٍ أو شَخْصٍ يُحِبُّه حتى يَعْصِيَ اللهَ لأجلِه؛ فيكونَ في قَلبِه رِقٌّ لما أحبَّه وتَعلَّقَ به وعَصَى اللهَ لأجله، ومَن تعلَّق شيئًا دونَ اللهِ عُذِّبَ به.

الدرجةُ الثالثةُ: فِعْلُ المعاصي، وذلك بارتكابِ بعضِ المُحرَّماتِ أو التفريطِ في بعضِ الواجباتِ، وكلما عَصَى العبدُ رَبَّه كان ذلك نَقْصًا في تَحْقيقِه العبوديةَ للهِ تعالى.
وأكملُ العبادِ عُبوديَّةً للهِ تعالى أحسنُهم استقامةً على أمرِ اللهِ عز وجل، قال اللهُ تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ (13) أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (14)﴾ [الأحقاف: 13–14].
وقال تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ (30) نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَاؤُكُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآَخِرَةِ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِي أَنْفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ (31) نُزُلًا مِنْ غَفُورٍ رَحِيمٍ (32) وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِمَّنْ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ (33)﴾ [فصلت: 30–33].

ومدارُ عُبودِيَّةِ القَلْبِ على ثلاثةِ أمورٍ عظيمةٍ هي: المَحَبَّةُ، والخَوْفُ، والرَّجاءُ.
ويَجِبُ على العَبْدِ أن يُخْلِصَ هذه العباداتِ العظيمةَ للهِ تعالى:
– فيُحِبَّ اللهَ تعالى أعظمَ مَحَبَّةٍ، ولا يُشْرِكَ معه في هذه المَحبَّةِ العظيمةِ أحدًا من خلقِه، كما قال اللهُ تعالى: ﴿وَالَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ﴾ [البقرة: 165].
– ويَخافَ من سَخَطِ اللهِ وعِقابِه، حتى يَنْزجِرَ عن فعلِ المعاصي من خَشْيةِ اللهِ تعالى.
– ويَرْجوَ رحمةَ اللهِ ومَغْفرتَه وفَضْلَهُ وإحسانَهُ.
ومَن كان كذلكَ فإنه لا يَيْأسُ من رَوْحِ اللهِ، ولا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللهِ، بل يَبْقَى جامِعًا بينَ الرَّجاءِ والخَوفِ كما أمَرَ اللهُ تعالى عبادَه بقولِه: ﴿وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ﴾ [الأعراف: 56].
فالدُّعاءُ هنا يَشْمَلُ دُعاءَ المَسْألةِ ودُعاءَ العِبادةِ.

● ومَحبَّةُ العبدِ لربِّه تعالى تَدْفَعُه إلى التقرُّبِ إليه، والشَّوقِ إلى لقائِه، والأُنسِ بذِكْرِه، وتَحْمِلُه على مَحَبَّةِ ما يُحِبُّه اللهُ، وبُغْضِ ما يُبْغِضُه اللهُ، فيُحَقِّقُ عُبوديَّةَ الولاءِ والبَرَاءِ بسببِ صِدْقِ مَحبَّتِه للهِ تعالى.
● وخَوفُه من اللهِ يَزْجُرُه عن ارتكابِ المُحرَّماتِ وتركِ الواجباتِ؛ فيكونُ من عبادِ اللهِ المُتَّقينَ، الذين حَمَلَتْهم خَشْيةُ اللهِ تعالى على اجتنابِ أسبابِ سَخَطِه وعِقابِه.
● ورَجاؤُه للهِ يَحْفِزُه على فِعْلِ الطاعاتِ لما يَرْجُو من عَظيمِ ثَوابِها وبَرَكةِ رِضْوانِ اللهِ عز وجل على أهلِ طَاعَتِه.

[إدريس عبدالله]

Lesson six: The meaning of Ibadah.
Al'ibabah [Worship] means servility, submission and compliance, with utmost love and glorification.
And every act that brings (one) nearer to a deity is Ibadah.
Therefore, al-Ibadah (worship) in Islam is a comprehensive term for everything that Allah loves and is pleased with, in terms of speech and actions, inwardly and outwardly.
Ibadah is categorized into the worship of the heart, tongue, and organs. Allah has ordered (mankind) to sincerely worship Him alone, without [associating] partner [to Him]. Allah the most high said:
﴿هُوَ الْحَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (65)﴾ [غافر: ٦٥].
Meaning:"He is the Ever- living; there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, sincere to Him in religion. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds". Q40: V65. And He said:
﴿قُلْ إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَهُ الدِّينَ﴾ [الزمر: ١١].
Meaning:"Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion". Q39: V11.
Allah has also ordered (mankind) to follow the prophet's guidance in Ibadah, and that all forms of Ibadah should be done inconformity with his traditions. Allah the most high said:
﴿وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ﴾[النحل: ٤٤]،
Meaning: "And we revealed to you the message [i.e., the Quran] that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them…" Q16: V44. And He said:
﴿وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا﴾ [الحشر: ٧]
Meaning:"And whatever the Messenger has given you- take it and what he has forbidden you- refrain from(it) …"
AndAllah –the most high- does not accept any act of worship from anybody unless it fulfills two conditions; sincerity and concordance with the practice of the prophet (S.A.W).
And a servant will not be a Muslim until he is sincere to Allah in religion, and follows the [teachings of] the Prophet (S.A.W).
Therefore, whoever performs [his] Ibadah sincerely to Allah, and correctly according to the tradition of the prophet (S.A.W) then it is [considered] correct and a righteous deed.
Allah has made it clear for us in His book that He created us for a great purpose, and that is worshiping Him alone without associating partner to Him. Allah the exalted said:
﴿وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ﴾ [الذاريات: ٥٦].
Meaning: And I did not create the Jinn and Mankind except to worship Me [alone]. Q51: V56. And Allah the most high said:
﴿وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ﴾ [البينة: ٥].
Meaning[B]: And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, being sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish salah [five daily prayers] and to give Zakah [alms]. And that is the correct religion. Q98: V5.

Therefore, he who shuns shirk [polytheism], become sincere to Allah in religion, and follows the prophet's [traditions] (S.A.W), is a Muslim and has been promised admittance into paradise and salvation from Hell Fire.
And whoever performs the obligatory acts of worship and obeys Allah in what He has made obligatory, and shun what He Has made forbidden, he is among the pious and faithful servants of Allah for whom Allah decreed safety from punishment and promised with great favor in this world and the hereafter.
And whoever fulfills the compulsory and supererogatory acts ,and keeps away from forbidden and detested acts, and worships Allah as though he is seeing Him, then he is among the servants of Allah who have attain the level of "Ihsan", and Allah has prepared for them higher ranks in the paradise.
With this you will understand that the things which affect the servitude of a servant to his lord –the almighty- are of three steps:
The first step; Ashshirkal'akbar and that is worshiping other deity besides Allah- the almighty- so whoever directs any act of worship to any deity besides Allah is a Mushrik [polytheist] Kafir [pagan] and neither compulsory nor supererogatory acts would be accepted from him, like those who invoke Idols, pious people, trees, and stones. In such a way that they slaughter for their sake, ask them satisfaction of needs and pushing away adversity
These [kind of people] are pagans, polytheists, withdrawn from the religion of Islam, and whoever dies among them without repentance will eternally dwell in Hell Fire. We seek refuge with Allah from that.
The second step is: The minor shirk, among its [examples] are; Arriya'a and Assum'ah in such a way that he beautifies his acts of worship, like prayer, charity and so on for people to see or hear and praise him. Whoever does that is not sincere to Allah- the kind of sincerity which rescues from the punishment (of the hereafter). So, such a person, although has not actually worshiped other than Allah physically, but by seeking people's praise and commendation [for his acts], he has requested reward from other than Allah. Hence, he is a polytheist who has committed a minor shirk which spoils the particular act in which it occurred. The prophet (S.A.W) said – from what he narrated from his lord- almighty-, "Almighty Allah Said, `I am the One Who is most free from the need of partners. He who does a thing and associate-in it- someone else with Me, I discard him and his polytheism..'' reported by Imam Muslim from the narration of Abu Huraira [may the blessings of Allah be upon him]
And among the [examples] of minor shirk is sticking of a person's heart to worldly [materials] and making it his utmost interest in such a way that he abandons obligatory acts and commits forbidden acts. Thus, in his heart is servitude to this world. The prophet (S.A.W) said:
((تعِسَ عَبدُ الدِّينارِ وعَبْدُ الدِّرْهمِ وعبدُ الخَمِيصةِ إنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وإنْ لم يُعْطَ سَخِطَ، تَعِسَ وانتكَسَ وإذا شِيكَ فلا انْتَقَشَ)). رواه البخاريُّ من حديثِ أبي هُريرةَ رضِي اللهُ عنه.

Meaning:"May he be miserable, the worshiper of the dinar [Gold currency] and the worshiper of dirham [silver currency], and the worshiper of the striped silk cloak. If he is given [something] he approves but if he is not given he becomes angry.
He is miserable and relapse, if he matches on a thorn let it be irremovable. Reported by Bukhari from the narration of Abu huraira.
This is an invocation from the prophet (S.A.W) upon him with misery and relapsing, whenever he rises from a fall, he falls again, and whenever he is befallen by an affliction, he is not guided to the way out of it, and the reason behind that is his servitude to this world and his careless [attitude towards]Almighty Allah.
And the prophet (S.A.W) has explained the criterion in that where he said: If he is given anything, he is satisfied, but if not, he is discontented.
So when a person makes this world his utmost aim, in such a way that he is pleased when he is given, and when he is not given he is continuously discontented with Allah’s divine decree, weary of Him. His heart is not free for Almighty Allah.
And this is among the characteristics of the hypocrites as said by Allah- the exalted- concerning them:

﴿وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَلْمِزُكَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُوا مِنْهَا رَضُوا وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا مِنْهَا إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ﴾ [التوبة: ٥٨]، فرِضَاهُم لغَيْرِ اللهِ وسَخَطُهم لغيرِ اللهِ.
Meaning: "And among them are some who criticize you concerning the [distribution of] charities. If they are given from it, they approve; but if they are not given from it, suddenly they become angry". Q9: V58.

So,whoever is of this nature, is [actually] not sincere to Allah in his acts of worship. Rather, in his heart is servitude to other than Allah – the exalted- and the effects of this are witnessed in anyone whose heart sticks to wealth or leadership or someone he loves, to the extent that he offends Allah for his sake. Thus there will be in his heart, slavery to that which he loves and sticks to and offends Allah for his sake. Whoever sticks to anything besides Allah is punished with it.
The third step: Committing sins by doing some things that are forbidden, or by neglecting some obligations. Whenever a servant offends his Lord there will be decrease in his servitude to Allah –the exalted.
And the most perfect of [Allah's] servants in servitude to Allah, is the one who is straightforward on Allah's commands. Allah –the most high- said:
﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ (13) أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (14)﴾ [الأحقاف: ١٣–١٤].
Meaning: "Indeed, those who have said, our Lord is Allah," and then remain on a right course- there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they be grieve. Those are the companions of Paradise, abiding eternally therein as reward for what they used to do". Q46: V13and 14. And Allah –the exalted said:
﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ (30) نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَاؤُكُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآَخِرَةِ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِي أَنْفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ (31) نُزُلًا مِنْ غَفُورٍ رَحِيمٍ (32) وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِمَّنْ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ (33)﴾ [فصلت: ٣٠–٣٣].

Meaning: "Indeed, those who have said, our Lord is Allah," and then remain on a right course- the angels will descend upon them, [saying],"Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised (30) We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish] (31) As accommodation from a[Lord who is] Forgiving and merciful (32) And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and do righteousness and says, "Indeed I am of the Muslims (33). Q41: V30-33.
And the servitude of the heart is [based on] three great things. They are: love, fear and hope.
It is obligatory upon a servant to be sincere to Allah in these great acts of worship
Thus, he loves Allah with the most magnificent [kind of] love, and does not associate any partner to Allah among His creatures in this utmost love. As Allah- the most high- said:
﴿وَالَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِلَّهِ﴾ [البقرة: ١٦٥].
Meaning:" But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah". Q2: V165.
And he fears the anger of Allah and His punishment such that he abstains from offending Allah as a result of his fear for Allah.
And he hopes for Allah's mercy, forgiveness, favor and charity.
Whoever becomes so, does not despair of relief from Allah, and does not feel secure from the plan of Allah. Rather, he remains in a state of combination between hope and fear as Allah- the exalted- ordered His servants in His sayings:
﴿وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ﴾ [الأعراف: ٥٦].
Meaning: "And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good". Q7: V56.
So, invocation here includesdu'aamas'ala and [I]du,aa ibada
And the servant's love for his Lord will push him towards getting closer to Him, yearning to meet Him, feeling pleasure in remembering Him, and it will cause him to love what Allah loves and hate what He hates. Thus, he will fulfill the worship of [I]Alwalaa wa-Albaraa as a result of his sincere love for Allah-[I]Ta'aala.
And his fear of Allah will make him abstain from doing the unlawful and neglecting obligatory duties. Hence, he will be of the pious servants of Allah who avoided the causes of Allah's anger and punishment, as a result of their fear of Him.
And his hope in Allah will motivate him to do good things because of what he hopes from its great reward and the pleasure of Allah's blessings for the obedient servants.
