Commentary 39:2 ‘Abudاعْبُدِ is derived from ‘abada عَبدَand means to worship, serve, adore, obey, venerate, submit, devote, to accept the impression of a thing, or to…
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصًا لَّهُ الدِّينَ
39:2 ‘Abudاعْبُدِ is derived from ‘abada عَبدَand means to worship, serve, adore, obey, venerate, submit, devote, to accept the impression of a thing, or to impress Divine Attributes (Lisân, Tâj, Râghib). According to Ibn ‘Abbâs the meaning of this commanding word, Fa ‘abud Allâh (فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ), “serve Allâh!” is meant in the sense of “know Allâh!” It can also mean, “be lowly towards Allâh!” Nobody can be lowly towards another unless he knows him. Therefore, it is necessary to know Him and know the fact that He is the possessor of All-Mightiness before Whom all the mighty of the world are to be lowly. Ibn ‘Abbâs , in his explanation of the word ‘abada laid emphasis on the meaning of “knowledge” and “knowing”. We are reminded again that we have to turn to the Alleviator of the cause and not to the cause itself in order to see our prayers accepted (cf.: 38:44; 39:10; 39:20)
