Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
According to the Qur’an, why did God create jinn and human beings?
Model answer
So that they would worship and serve Him.
- 2
Define ibadah.
Model answer
It is worship or service of God, covering both formal ritual and the whole of an obedient life.
- 3
Explain how an ordinary action such as work can count as worship.
Model answer
If the action is lawful and is done with the intention of pleasing God, the action itself becomes an act of worship.
- 4
Explain what niyyah is and why it matters.
Model answer
It is the intention formed before an act, and it determines whether the act counts as worship at all.
- 5
Why is worship not something God needs?
Model answer
God is entirely self-sufficient, so worship benefits the worshipper by ordering their whole life towards Him.
- 6
How does the Qur’an link life and death to testing?
Model answer
It teaches that God created death and life in order to test which people act best.
