Ibaadat
इबादत
said i-baa-DAT
also written: Ibadah, Ibaadah
Meaning
Worship; acts of devotion and service offered to God.
Usage & notes
Iqbal warns against ibaadat that is mere outward motion empty of inner fire, prizing the prayer that transforms the worshipper. True worship for him forges the self rather than performing a routine.
