Öz
The word ibadah lexically means submission, humility, obedience, divine
service, worship and slavery. As a religious term, it is used to show people’s
respect, love and obedience to Allah, certain attitudes and behaviors carried
out by him with the intention of gaining the pleasure of God. More generally,
it also expresses the same thoughts, feelings and words. However, it is more
common to use the word for certain and regular behaviors with religious
content. In addition to prayer, fasting, zakat and pilgrimage, which constitute
the basic conditions of Islam, acts such as sacrificing, itikaf, prayer, reading
the Qur’an, charity and donation constitute the most famous examples of
worship in the sense of the term. With this view, considering the life of
the holy Prophet, there are applications in the sources that he pioneered
in these matters and exhibited examples of worship that constitute a serious whole. Therefore, in this article, because he is the first and exemplary
person, the life of the Prophet will be covered in all aspects in the light of
available information.
