Ibadah (,  ‘ibādah, also spelled ibada) is an word meaning service or servitude. In , ibadah is usually translated as “worship”, and ibadat—the plural of ibadah—refers to Islamic jurisprudence ( ) of Muslim religious rituals.


Ibadah
In Arabic ibadah is connected with related words such as ubudiyyah (“”), and has connotations of obedience, submission, and humility. The word linguistically means "obedience with submission".al-Qamoos al-Muhit

In , ibadah is usually translated as “worship” and means obedience, submission, and devotion to God. Quran Surah Adh-Dhaariyat ( Verse 56 )

Other sources (noted author Abul A'la Maududi and others) give a broader definition of ibadah, including keeping speech free “from filth, falsehood, malice, abuse”, and dishonesty, obeying law in “commercial and economic affairs” and in “dealings with your parents, relatives, friends”, and everyone else.


Ibadat
Ibadat (عبادات) is the plural form of ibādah. In addition to meaning more than one ibādah, it refers to Islamic jurisprudence ( ) on “the rules governing worship in Islam”

or the “religious duties of worship incumbent on all Muslims when they come of age and are of sound body and mind.” It is distinguished from other fields of jurisprudence in Islam, which are usually known as (interpersonal transactions).

Ibadat include what are known as the "pillars of Islam":

  • Almsgiving ( ), customarily 2.5% of a Muslim’s total savings and wealth above a minimum amount known as  , which is based on income and the value of all of one’s possessions;
  • Fasting ( sawm), refraining from eating, drinking, and sexual relations during daylight hours—especially during the Islamic holy month of ;
  • Pilgrimage to ( )—the annual   to the holiest city of Islam, a  for Muslims, who must do it at least once in their lifetime, if they are adults who are physically and financially capable of the journey, and can support their family during their absence.
According to Islamic Studies, “because they are of central importance to the Muslim community, the ibadat form the first subject matter of and most collections of prophetic traditions ( ).” The subject of ibadat is especially important in Islam, according to author Faleel Jamaldeen, because without these religious laws, “Muslims would likely create their own rituals and prayers, and the religion of Islam would falter and eventually disappear.”
