The Shaykh : Worship is used in two meanings:
The first meaning: the act—sit down, I say sit down, may Allah reward you with good—
The first meaning: the act of the servant, which is worship.
And the second: the object of the servant's act, which is the worship he performs.
—Sit down, may Allah reward you with good. Sit down, you are harming the people—
Worship is used in two meanings:
The first meaning: the act of the servant, which is worship.
And the second: the object of the servant's act, which is worship.
So, in the first meaning, it is the humbling of the servant before Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) with his outward and inward self, with his heart, his tongue, and his limbs. He humbles himself before Him with perfect humility, such that he does not contradict Him in His command and does not contradict Him in His prohibition. When He commands him, he says, "We hear and we obey." And when He informs him of something, he says, "We hear and we believe." So he is humbled before Him to the utmost degree of humility. If he strays from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) once, by committing a sin or leaving an obligatory duty, you will find that he returns to Allah because he is humbled before his Lord (Mighty and Majestic). He does not humble himself before anyone else; he does not humble himself before a living human being, nor a dead human being, nor an angel, nor a prophet, nor anyone at all. Worship is for Allah alone. He worships Allah alone.
...—Rest, or you will leave, my brother. Okay, rely on Allah, there is no review now. Now it is a lesson, clear the way, let him proceed—
He does not worship anyone other than Allah, not a near angel, not a sent prophet, not a close friend of Allah, not an angel, not a president, nor a minister. Whom does he worship? Allah alone.
