Description
Description
In "Adoration and Servitude", the great scholar Ibn Taymiyya, a major theologian of Islam, delves deeply into two of the most fundamental spiritual pillars: worship (ʿibāda) and servitude (ʿubūdiya). Translated from Arabic as "Risālat al-ʿUbūdiyya," this text is now presented in accessible French while preserving the rigor of the original meaning.
A comprehensive definition of worship
For Ibn Taymiyya, worship is not limited to visible rituals such as prayer or fasting. It encompasses every word, internal or external act that Allah loves and approves. This includes both acts of worship (ʿibādāt) and good behavior in daily life.
Thus, every action, even trivial, can become an act of worship if it is driven by a sincere intention and in accordance with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This principle is rooted in a solid aqida, linking faith, practice, and sincerity.
Servitude: a lofty spiritual station
In this treatise, the author shows that total servitude to Allah is the noblest of spiritual stations. The believer is never freer than when he submits completely to his Lord, in balanced love and fear.
True servitude frees the soul from passions, desires, and dependence on creatures.
