Is this a mistake in the page on Islam?

[kritikvernunft]

In the Wikipedia page on Islam, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam, you can see the following phrase: Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable and that the purpose of existence is to worship God. However, the term worship links to: Salah (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salah) According to another page, https://www.islamtomorrow.com/purpose.htm: To a Muslim the whole purpose of life is "ibadah" or worship to the One True Almighty God on Terms and under His Conditions. In that case, shouldn't the term worship link to: Ibadah (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibadah)?

The phrase originally comes from this verse:

And I did not create the jinn and humankind except to worship Me'¦ [Quran 51:56-58]
Wa Mā Khalaqtu Al-Jinna Wa Al-'Insa 'Illā Liya`budūni

Is "buduni" a declination or conjugation of "ibadah"?

 

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

The word is: "Ya`budoon". Ya`budoon is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb "`Abida" (to worship). The word "`Ibaadah" (worship) is derived from this same verb.

Thanks!

So, it really is an error on the page about Islam. It is probably just an accidental mistake. However, I do not really feel comfortable that their methods of protecting this page from errors are strong enough (also possibly deliberately inserted ones). The more people believe that this page is accurate, the more inaccurate it will become. The page is too long. It should be very short and it should be split up into a large number of less important pages, each with much fewer readers. Each such sub-page will then become much less important, and therefore less attractive to subvert. ;-)

The purpose of link on internet page is to connect one page with another page. Procedure of linking is you create the second page, then put the link to it in first page. You can choose a word in the first page to put your link. This word has to be relate to the topic of second page, but no need to become an explanation of the whole sentence.

I don't see anything wrong if Wikipedia choose the word "worship" to put the link to page about salah. Salah is the act of worship for Islam, and Wikipedia choose the word "worship" because they want to show the readers about how Muslims do their act of worship.
