The name "Abdullah" is among the dearest names to Allah, and it is derived from 'ubudiyyah (servitude/worship), which linguistically means humility and submission. Religiously, 'ibadah (worship) is performing what Allah loves and is pleased with. It is obedience and devotion, and it encompasses every action that indicates submission and glorification of Allah the Almighty.
