Question:
He asks: What are the categories of worship?
Answer:
Worship has many categories. Whatever Allah has commanded and one does is worship, whether it is obligatory or recommended; all of it is among the types of worship. Among its types are the prayer, zakah (the obligatory alms), fasting, Hajj (the major pilgrimage), jihad (struggle in the path of Allah) in the path of Allah, dutifulness to parents, maintaining family ties, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and calling others to Allah. The types of worship are many: the outward acts of worship and the inward acts of worship, such as fear of Allah, awe of Allah, desire for what is with Allah, and humility before Allah the Exalted. These are acts of worship of the heart, within the heart. Yes.
