10. Four Basic Quranic Terms
Illah Rabb
Ibadah Deen

11. ILLAH
 Illah means the one who is being worshipped.
 Someone who can remove distress and fulfill
needs, influence events.
 Someone who has superiority over the others
in status, power, and strength.
 There is some element of mystery surrounding
the personality.
 Who fulfill one's needs, provide shelter &
protection, soothe a disturbed heart and fill it
with peace & calm.
 Godhood and authority are compulsory
together. This authority is indivisible, with no-
one else having the least share in it.
 It is entirely up to Him whether to accede to, or
reject, any intercession.

12. RABB
 One who brings up, rear, fosters or nourishes.
 Guardian, patron; one who supervises or is
responsible for carrying out improvements.
 One who occupies a central or focal position,
who himself gathers people round himself of
his own or round whom people gather out
themselves.
 Leader, head, chief, or lord; one whose word
is obeyed, and whose supremacy or over
lordship acknowledged, and who has authority
to dispose of men or things.
 Owner and master.
The basic meaning is to bring up but it also include following connotations:

13. IBADAH
Acknowledging someone other
than oneself as holding supremacy or
enjoying over lordship and of
abdicating one's freedom and
independence in big favor, of
relinquishing any resistance to or
disobedience of him, and of
surrendering oneself totally to his
authority.
 In Quran the word “Ibadah” comes
in three senses.
 Worship.
 Bondage, obedience.
 Submission and slavery in
every aspect.

15. DEEN
It stands for the entire way of life, of which
the composite factors are:
 Sovereignty and supreme authority.
 Obedience and submission to such
authority.
 The system of thought and action
established through the exercise of
that authority.
 Retribution meted out by the
authority, in consideration of loyalty
and obedience to it, or rebellion and
transgression against it.

16. What is “Istaanat”? ------- Asking for Help,
who you ask for help?

17. Sirat Al
Mustaqeem
 A Sirat (straight path) that is surrounded by two
walls on both sides,
 With several open doors within the walls
covered with curtains.
 There is a caller on the gate of the Sirat who
heralds, 'O people! Stay on the path and do not
deviate from it.'
 Meanwhile, a caller from above the path is also
warning any person who wants to open any of
these doors, 'Woe unto you! Do not open it, for
if you open it you will pass through.'
 The straight path is Islam, the two walls are
Allah's set limits, while the doors resemble
what Allah has prohibited.
 The caller on the gate of the Sirat is the Book
of Allah,
 while the caller above the Sirat is Allah's
admonishment in the heart of every Muslim.
(Tafseer Ibn Katheer)
 “Sirat Al-Mustaqim, is the clear path without branches” (Tabari)
 Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad a hadith; Allah has set an
example:

18.  Who are the one who you favored are who are the one who incur
Allah’s wrath and who are astray?
 Favored ones --- Those who know and act upon it ---- Prophets,
Truthful, Martyrs, Righteous
 Who incur Allah’s wrath --- Those who know and do not do it ---- Jews
 Who are stray --- Those who don’t know --- Christians

(Sahih Muslim)

‘All praises and thanks are due to
Allah, the Lord of the universe’,

When he says, ‘the Most
Beneficent, the Most Merciful,’
• Allah says, ‘My slaves has glorified Me.’
When he says, ‘Master of the Day of
Judgment,’
• Allah says, ‘This is between Me and My
slave and My slave shall have what he
requested.’
When he says, ‘‘you alone we
worship, you alone we ask for
help,’
• Allah says, ‘This is for My slave and My
slave shall have what he asked for.’

whom You have favored, not of
those who earned Your anger, nor
of those who have gone astray’
