:salam2:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't servant the same as a slave?? Allah knows best!! Please clarify inshallah. I would say that we are servants/slaves of Allah.

 

[BintMuhammad]

Wa alaikumussalaam,

Yup! according to the dictionary they are synonymous.

http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/slave

We're totally submitting to Allaah swt so yeah, we are slaves and I love being one! Alhamdulillaah.

 

[Bilal Ahmed]

Asalaam Alaykum,

[abdul ghaleeb]

our lord needs worship

Allah subhana wa ta'ala is is NO NEED of our worship. He is in no need of His creation. We are the ones that need to worship him, or risk the consequences of not doing so.

Sorry if that came out a bit rude. I have a tendency to be very straight forward when posting. Alhamdulilah it was just a typo/error.

no its all good, thats a major mistake on my part
if allaah(swt) distroyed all the universe and all his angels and jinn and men He would still be needless of worship all by himself
again no harm taken thats a major sin on my part
astaghfirullaah
one of our main beliefs is he is needless
i just worded it wrong
astaghfiirullaah

 

[Aapa]

Salaam,

A slave serves Allah out of Love, Fear and Necessity. A slave acknowledges the total dependency on Allah subhana talla. A slave choose to be a slave of Allah.

yes perfectly said

have you ever run into kaafrir and they mock you and derogate "your slavery to alllaah(swt)? they complain islam is only slavery and a horribel life? they say slavery like its a bad thing when i think its the most beautiful thing in the world when one is slave to God, like a precious treasure without price, yet they say slaveryi as an ugly thing?
i guess only a slave in bondage can see its beauty not a free man
