Ramadan: what do these Arabic words mean?

Question

I'm having trouble with my book that I'm reading from the masjid. What do these words exactly mean? When I google them, thousands of answers come up. I feel overwhelmed! :-D

1- Fitnah

2- Takwa

3- Ibadah

4- Sufi

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Fitna = tumult, discord, dissent etc.

Taqwa = piety

Ibadah = literally, it means slavery, but, in the context in which it is used, it usually means worship, obedience, submission, humility etc

Sufi = literally "of the wool" it is the name given to the practitioner of tawassuf or Mysticism.

LOL, Google can be rather overwhelming, I guess. Didn't know that you could get that kind of thing from there.

Hope you don't mind the over simplification in my answer.
