The reason for the plural form of the verb "Nabodo"
Another point in this honorable verse is that it says "Iyya ka nabodo" - we serve only you" - it does not say "Iyya ka Abodo" I serve only you, when you are only one person talking to God. In the prayer that we say "Iyya ka Nabodo" and this Surah Hamd is repeated in the prayer, perhaps the reason is that in the Shari'a , the first prayer was a congregational prayer
Because the first prayer that was obligatory on the Prophet and was performed by him was a congregational prayer. The principle of Islamic prayer is congregational prayer. Therefore, in prayer, when anyone says: "Iyya ka Nabodo", in reality, it is as if he brings a collection with him to the worship of God and the great blessing of God's worship. In the holy verse of the Qur'an, when we say "Iyya ka Nabodo”, it means that we exclude worship and servitude from our own personal sphere, it is not like saying "Iyya ka Abodo", "I" in a group should be resolved according to the Islamic vision, "I” must reach the presence of God in a gathering
Unity with all beings in the worship of God
“Iyya ka Nabodo” means we worship you; So, who is the other with whom I become "us" and who are” we in “we worship”? "Nabodo" according to the interpretations of the Arabic language, means that one's self and another are talking to each other. We worship you; Who are these "we"? I am one of them. We may say that this "we" is other than me, the rest of the society; I am talking to God on behalf of the rest of my community. Each of you who pray alone or repeat this verse of the Holy Qur'an alone, you are actually speaking on behalf of all the members of your society. At that moment, you feel yourself among the people of your society and you say that we only worship you, which is a correct and complete interpretation. It can be said that this "other" in "us" is all human beings, not only the members of your society who are monotheists, not only the monotheists of the world, but even the non-monotheists worship God. As we have said, their nature is a worshiper of God, their subconscious mind is a worshiper of God and a servant of God, although their conscious mind does not pay attention to this point. Therefore, you are actually claiming, doing the exclusive worship of God from the language of that person who - in reasoning - denies God, from the language of that person who believes that God is stone, wood and idol, from the language of that person who considers God to be two or three elements. no problem. Because in their core, inside and nature, they all have the exclusive worship of God. This is also a possibility and a possible aspect that can be said with this idea and with this mentality, "Iyya ka Nabodo". It is possible to take the circle wider than this and consider it to include all the others; It means that every place should be the altar of God's worship. Iyya ka Nabodo; I and all parts of the world and all living and inanimate worship you, that is, every particle of the world is worshiping the Lord as it is in the Qur'an: Surah Maryam verse 93: "There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the most merciful as a servant." Everything that is in the heavens and the earth comes to God Almighty as a servant, that is, they are God's servants. All these particles that exist in the world are moving according to God's will, with God's power, with God's organization, following God's order, so everyone is obeying God and worshiping God. You can understand " Iyya ka Nabodo " as: you and the whole world, and this is the thing that if a person feels this, he has reached a very high level of servitude, which is not our business. Complete and perfect mystics, great and enlightened people, when they say Allahu Akbar, when they say Subhan Allah, when they say Alhamdulillah, they feel that all nature is with them and says: Alhamdulillah and Subhanallah and Allahu Akbar, this song of monotheism They hear from all nature and this exists; It's a real thing. The ear of the mystic must hear this spiritual song and I hope that we will reach a situation that we can understand these truths in the worship of God and in obedience to the Lord
The harmony of all beings with the unified human being
This also shows the similarity between man and nature; That is, this caravan of existence with all the rules, regulations and tradition that governs this set of existence, all of them are in sync with the human being, the same direction and the same song; This is one of the Islamic principles, God willing, we will reach this during the verses of the Qur'an
According to the divine order, human life is in harmony with all historical and natural traditions; When you obey God's order, you are coordinating with all the laws that God has set for the universe; When you move uncoordinatedly and do not worship God, you are not in harmony with the universe. This is one of the excellent contents of Islamic thought and Quranic thought. It's like giving a car to a stupid engineer, and this stupid engineer, who doesn't know about the construction of this car, how it moves, and the path that is set for the wheels of this car, uses the car in the opposite way, bolts and nuts. put things in the wrong place, put what is for one thing into another, the car works badly. This is the person who is inconsistent with traditions and laws. But this man who knows the nature of this law, knows the routine and tradition governing this machine, aligns himself with those laws and works and acts with this machine according to the requirements of those laws. is more successful in life. A person who lives in the name of God and worships God and puts God's commands and prohibitions in his life, his own course of action and his own work plan, with the rules governing this set - which God set the rules of this set; The traditions of nature, as well as the traditions of history, the laws that govern history - coordinate themselves, so it is more successful. If a person moves against the direction of the water flow, the probability of his success is less, more power is consumed, less work is done, according to the flow of water, according to nature and the law that governs this nature, which moves, more success with ease will have more Struggles based on right are more victorious, more successful and lasting, and their effect is more widespread than struggles based on injustice. But if the struggle is based on the right path and in the right direction, the definite destiny of this struggle is victory. These are part of the unchangeable traditions of God and are part of the Quranic teachings. This is another point about "Iyya ka Nabodo"
