TYPES OF IBAADAH Let us go on further to a more narrow explanation of this, very similar but a little bit more narrow (in Ibaadah itself). There is a Shar’iyyah and Kawniyyah in Ibaadah. #IBAADAH_KAWNIYYAH Ibaadah Kawniyyah (عبادةكونية) is submission to Allah by force, what He commanded and decreed in creation. And this is the submission that is common over all creation, no one can escape it. Humans, Jinn, rocks, trees, the sun and the moon, all those submit to Allah by force. Can anyone run away from Allah? Ma’aath Allah, no one can run away so everything submits to Allah by force. إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِلَّا آتِي الرَّحْمَٰنِ عَبْدًا Mariam:93 All in the heavens and in the earth will come to Allah on the Day of Judgment as submissive slaves. - This type of servitude covers the believers and non believers, the humans and non humans, the righteous and the wicked, everything is forced to submit to Allah. - The first type of servitude is not something for which a servant is commanded. There is nothing you are commanded in this, you are not commanded to do this because this is by force. You do not get reward for it in itself because you did not do anything, this is by force. - The first type of servitude is not something for which a servant is commanded because there is no action. - For example, hardships are by force, you did not do anything and you have hardships. You must submit to them by force, you do not get reward for them because you did not do anything. Muslims get them, non Muslims get them and animals get them. They are imposed from Allah on you by force, however if a hardship comes and you are patient and you thank Allah, then that is totally different. - Your time of ease is by force, you do not get reward for that in itself, that was imposed by force on you. If you thank Allah then that is the next category, you get reward for the thanking but not the ease or the hardship in itself. #IBAADAH_SHARIYYAH - The second one is Ibaadah Shar’iyyah (عبادةشرعية) (judicial Ibaadah). This is to obey and submit to the laws of Allah, to submit to the commands of Allah. This is particular to those who are obedient to Allah and those who comply with that which the Messengers of Allah ‘alayhimus-salaam came with. وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا ... Furqan:63 The believing slaves of Allah who come on this earth and walk in calmness, humility and humbleness. - One is not rewarded for the previous Ibaadah of Kawniyyah because it is imposed by force and you are forced to submit to Allah in some matters, you did not do anything to earn it. - The second type of Ibaadah (of servitude), the person is commanded and he will be rewarded and punished (depending on whether he does it or he does not do it). In shaa Allah our next stop will be: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN KAWNIYYAH AND SHAR’IYYAH
