Comprehensiveness of Worship In Islam

The Islamic understanding of worship allows the whole of one’s life to
be an act of worship, as long as the objective of that life is the
pleasure of Allah, which is achieved by doing good and refraining from
evil. A person can turn everyday activities into acts of worship by
purifying his or her intention and sincerely seeking Allah’s pleasure
through these activities. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
Greeting a person is charity. Acting justly is charity. Helping a man
with his steed is charity. A good word is charity. Every step taken on
the way to performing prayers is charity. Removing an obstacle from
the road is charity.
Earning a living can be a form of worship The Companions saw a man and
were astonished by his hard work and industry. They lamented: “If he
were only doing this much work for the sake of Allah…”


Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “If he is working to
support his small children, then it is for the sake of Allah. If he is
working to support his elderly parents, then it is for the sake of
Allah. If he is working to occupy himself and keep his desires in
check, then it is for the sake of Allah. If, on the other hand, he is
doing so to show off and earn fame, then he is working for the sake of
Satan.”

Even the most natural acts can become acts of worship if they are
accompanied by the proper intention: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon
him) said: “When one of you approaches his wife, it is an act of
charity.”

The same can be said for eating and drinking, as long as it is done
out of fear of Allah and seeking to obey him.

In order for these otherwise mundane actions to be counted as acts of
worship deserving of divine reward, the following conditions must be
met:

A. The action must be accompanied by the proper intention. Allah’s
Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Actions are but by intentions,
and a person gets only what he intended.”

B. The action must be lawful in and of itself. If the action is
something prohibited, its perpetrator deserves punishment. Allah’s
Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Allah is good, and He accepts
only what is good.”

C. The activity must be performed in the best possible manner. Allah’s
Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Allah has prescribed excellence
for all things.” He also said: “Allah loves that if one of you does
something, he does it well.”

D. The dictates of Islamic Law must be completely observed. Deception,
oppression, and iniquity must be avoided. Allah’s Messenger (peace be
upon him) said: “He who deceives us is not one of us.”

E. The activity should not keep the person from performing his or her
religious obligations. Allah says:
O you who believe, do not let your wealth and children distract you
from the remembrance of Allah.
