5.2 Some Muslims Say That Ibaadah (ritual Worship) Is What Is Required And Not The Work To Establish The Islamic State
They also say that the Messenger called people to the worship of Allah and did not call people to the establishment of an Islamic State; or that the central issue is the worship of Allah and not the Islamic State; or that it is not important to establish an Islamic State, but it is important to worship Allah . These are their views; or something of the same nature.
To respond to this objection we must define the reality of ibaadah and how it is acheived.
Allah created mankind to worship Him. Thus, ibaadah is the objective for which Allah created the human beings. The meaning of, “Laa Ilaaha illallah” is the following: there is none to be worshipped except Allah , and anything other than this is false and must be rejected and man must testify to this. “Muhammad rasoolullah”, means that the worship and obedience should be according to what only Muhammad , the Rasool of Allah, has brought and man must testify to this.
Thus, ‘ibaadah (worship) is only for Allah and it cannot take place, except as legislated by Allah of what was brought only by the Rasool of Allah, and this is an origin that must be realised in every action or statement in our life.
Hence when the Muslim undertakes an action in this life to achieve a need for himself or a value which is in the reality of life, he moves solely for the motive of satisfying his needs and instincts, which can be satisfied in more than one way.
