Reason #15: Because worship (ibadah) is the heart of Islam

In essence, every job is blessed by God and accompanied by a good intention is worship. Prophet Muhammad SAW said: "Whoever works for his wife, children through a lawful way, so for them the reward as those who strive in the way of Allah". In addition, another hadith reads: "Looking for work is fard after fard".


Worship is an act, a good deed mouth (words) or the actions of other limbs. Thus, worship is not as narrow as just prayer, fasting, zakat and hajj. Worship includes all physical activities, reasonable minds and souls; thus including seeking sustenance, seek knowledge, educating and raising children, earning a living for the family, even getting rid of the thorns off the streets. All motion that we run in 24 hours is worship, it must be worth  worship (ibadah). Let us not be confused with the affairs of the world or the hereafter, because all is worship that have relevance to the world at once to the afterlife. ***
