19. What is Ibadah?

Principally used in the sense of 'worship' i.e. prayer, fasting etc., but includes any act that confirms man's status of 'abd, servant of Allah.

20. What are the 2 conditions of Ibadah?

1. Sincerity to Allah

2. Submission to Allah's Messenger i.e. to act according to his Sunnah. Some types of Ibadah are the prayers, the obligatory charity,fasting, the pilgrimage, fear of Allah, hope in His Mercy, Seeking His aid. and other acts of worship which Allah has commanded and enjoined.

21. What are some types of Ibadah?

Some types of Ibadah are the prayers, the obligatory charity,
fasting, the pilgrimage, fear of Allah, hope in His Mercy, Seeking His aid. and other acts of worship which Allah has commanded and enjoined.

Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said,

"Ibadah is a collective term for everything that Allaah loves and is pleased with from amongst sayings and inward and outward actions."

1.That it is done purely for the sake of Allah
2. That it is in conformity with the guidance of the Messenger of Allah saws.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abd Al-Wahhab mentions five:

1) Ibaadah of Belief

It is that the Muslim believes that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is the Creator, the Sustainer, the Giver of Life and Death and the Manager of the Affairs of His slaves. The only One worthy of worship alone, having no partners in supplication and slaughtering and vows and other than that and that He is the One described with attributes of Majesty and Perfection of Magnificence and Might and other types of belief.

2) Ibaadah of Speech

Such as the pronouncement of the shahadah that 'there is no one worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah' and such as the recitation of the Qur'an and du'aa and Prophetic supplications and other types of verbal worship.

3) Ibaadah of the Body

And that is like the standing and bowing and prostrating in the prayer and fasting and the actions of Hajj and Hijrah (migration) and Jihad and other types of bodily worship.

4) Ibaadah of Wealth

Such as Zakat and Sadaqah and other than that.

5) Ibaadah of Abandonment

It is that the Muslim abandons all forbidden things and types of Shirk and Bid'ah (innovations) in compliance to what Allah has legislated so these are from the Ibaadah of Abandonment. The Muslim is rewarded for leaving the Haraam (prohibited) when he leaves it seeking the Face of Allah.

Not my words, but they do the job. ;)

You are both right. Masha allah. Here are the next ones. Sorry I took so long.

22. What is the greatest sin that Allah has forbidden?

23. What is polytheism?

24. What are the types of polytheism?

Doesn't anyone know the answer?

As-Salaamu 'Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaah,

22. Shirk.

23. Polytheism is shirk which is associating partners with Allaah. It can also be holding any object or force higher than Allaah.

24. Shirk in Tawheed Ruboobiyah
* Shirk by association
* Shirk by negation

Shirk in Tawheed Uloohiyah ('ebadaah)
* Major shirk (example: knowingly worshiping dieties beside Allaah or idols)
* Minor Shirk ( example: Ar-Riyyah)

Shirk in Tawheed Asmaa Was Sifaat
*Shirk by humanization
*Shirk by deification.

If you want to study tawheed and shirk more I suggest you read the sharh of Kitaab-at-Tawheed by Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahab and The Fundamentals of Tawheed by Abu Aminah Bilal Phillips.

'Alaykum As-Salaam Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh

Sis, you got the first 2 Q's right, but the last one is:

What are the types of Polytheism?

1. The greater polytheism(Shirk Akbar).
2. The lesser polytheism(Shirk Asghar).
3. The latent polytheism(Shirk Khafi).

Masha allah your avatar is very cute. ;) Is he your son?

25. What is polytheism?

26. What is greater polytheism?

27. What are the four types of greater polytheism?

There are more than one way to categorise the different types of Shirk. One way is what Sr. Umm Qaylah did, and that is to identify Shirk in each component of tawheed. The second way is to identify Shirk as Major and Minor (Akbar and Asghar), and the third way is to define it as hidden and apparent.

Some scholars combine the third way and the second way and form three categories, in the manner that you've done, but most scholars agree that the hidden Shirk is not another category alongside Major and Minor, but it is a different description, for the hideen shirk may be major or minor.

Also, you are using polytheism as a translation for Shirk, but in reality, polytheism is one type of Shirk Rububiyyah. It would therefore be best if you started by asking for the definition:
What is Shirk?

;) Come up with a definition for Shirk before answering the other questions.

As-Salaamu 'Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh,

Well I guess no one knows the answers to these questions so I will give the answers and next question later Insha allah.

25. What is polytheism?
To believe that there is one who shares Allah in his acts, ascribing partners or setting up rivals to Allah.

26. What is greater polytheism?
To devote any form of worship to other than Allah, Allah will never forgive one who dies upon Shirk, nor accept his good deeds, and he would be cast out form the folds of Islam.

27. What are the four types of greater polytheism?
1. Polytheism in invocation, involving supplications to other than Allah.
2. Polytheism in intentions, purpose and intentions not for the sake of Allah but directed towards other deities.
3. Polytheism in obedience, rendering obedience to any authority against the Order of Allah.
4. Polytheism in love, showing love to others which is due to Allah alone.
