5إِيّاكَ نَعبُدُ وَإِيّاكَ نَستَعينُMir AneesuddinYou alone do we serve1 and (from) You alone do we seek help.A derivative (of the word Abd, means slavery or service and sometimes worship. It cannot always be translated as worship, because worship is only a part of the total service which consists of obeying all the orders of Allah and His messenger Muhammed (peace be on him) in the form of doing righteous works (amal-i-sateh) and guarding against evil (taqwa). Sometimes one is not sure as to which of the two senses it has been used in, therefore both the translations have been used, keeping one in brackets: service (worship).
