Kuwait : Indian Muslim Association (IMA) in cooperation with Ministry of Awqaf& Islamic Affairs organized a public program under the theme 'Concept of Worship (Ibadah) in Islam' at JamiatulIslah auditorium at Rawda.

While elaborating on the subject of ‘ Importance of Worship in building an Islamic Society' SharfuddinSoofi quoted the verse from the Glorious Qur'an, which says “I have not created jinn and mankind but that they worship me”. He discussed at length the meaning of the term 'Ibadah'. He said that Ibadah is generally defined as worship of Allah, performing prayers or observing formal obligations of Islam but in wider sense, it is interpreted as obedience of Allah or adhering to His Commands in every aspect of daily life. He added that it is a well-known fact that Islam gives a comprehensive code of life and demands from its followers to adopt this code in each and every aspect of their life and this is actually the meaning of Ibadah in its true sense and this is the very foundation and pre-condition for building an Islamic society.
