Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said, "Ibaadah is a collective term for everything that Allaah loves and is pleased with from amongst sayings and inward and outward actions."
He also said, "Ibaadah is obedience to Allaah by carrying out what He has commanded through tongues of His Messengers."
Fudayl ibn Ayyaad ر
حمه
ال, a taabi'ee, said regarding the verse (...that He may test you,
which of you is best in deeds...) [11:7], "The most sincere and the most
correct" so those who were around him said "And what is the most
sincere and the most correct?" He replied "Action, if it is correct but
not sincere will not be accepted and action, if it is sincere but not
correct will not be accepted until it is both sincere and correct.
Sincere means that nothing but the Face of Allaah is sought and correct
means that it is in conformity with the Sunnah."
