As for officials and clerks:
Their actual worship is to:
• Satisfy people's matters, ease their interests and facilitate their needs.
• They should stop taking gratuities (gift or bribe), unfortunately, they only do their work when they take this and think that it is legal (Halal).
• We see nowadays when someone go to any office to finish any matter, he finds the official went to prepare for noon prayer half an hour before it, although Allah made its time extended from noon to before the afternoon prayer, but the messenger of Allah (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) says about the interest of a believer:
"Whoever walked to satisfy his brother's interest, Allah made seventy five thousand angels supplicate for him, he walks in mercy until he finishes, if he finishes, Allah grants him the favor of a pilgrimage and an Omrah."
In another narration he (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) says:
"Whoever walked to satisfy his brother's interest, either it is done or not, I will be at his scales, if his favor scale outweighed or I'll intercede for him."
Which is worthier here: The benefits of Muslims or to pray and simulate in front of people? The greatest worship here is to fulfill Muslims' needs at this time. This doesn't mean that I am calling for leaving acts of worship, but I'm calling for understanding worship. Look at the understanding of our ancestors in satisfying Muslims' needs, our sir Abdullah Ibn Ab'bas sat at the mosque of the messenger of Allah during the last ten days of Ramadan, if someone is doing Ietekaf, he shouldn't go out of the mosque unless there is an urgent matter, a man came and said: "O Ibn Ab'bas, could you do me a favor?" He said: "What?" He said: "I want you to do so and so for me." He said: "Ok come on." And he went out with him. The man said: "O Ibn Ab'bas, did you forget that you are doing Ietekaf?" He said: "I know, but I heard that who is in this grave saying: Whoever walked to satisfy the need of his brother, either it is done or not, is better than staying in this mosque for sixty years."
Should I leave the need of a Muslim and sit in mosques to cook, eat and recite Koran, what will they read in Koran? Allah says:
"(Believers are) Merciful among themselves." (Surat Al-fat'h, verse 29)
Where is mercy according to those who do Ietekaf and are extravagant in doing acts of worship and at the same time they suspend the interests of people and made people hate the religion of Allah by their misunderstanding of actual worship? Where is their mercy in Ramadan and after Ramadan all over the year? This is the Koran, satisfying Muslims' needs is more useful for a Muslim in his degree and favor from Allah than Nawafel (non-obligatory acts of worship) after duties.
As for people of high rank and whose orders are obeyed:
What are they asked to do? Whoever has prestige or dignity and could satisfy his brothers' needs as we mentioned before, but look at the worship which the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) made the greatest Nafela (non-obligatory act of worship) a Muslim can do, it is greater than non-obligatory pilgrimage after the duty one and greater than non-obligatory prayers after duty ones, the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said about it:
"I'll tell you about what is better in degree than fasting, prayers and charity (he means non-obligatory). They said: Yes. He said: Making peace among people, because making enmity among people is the shaver." Abu-Eesa said: This is a true Hadith.
In another narration the prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "It is the shaver, I don't mean to shave hair but shave religion"
Whoever spent a night making peace between two people who are quarrelling is better than that who spent the night worshipping and supplicating in front of Ka'ba.
These are the acts of worship Allah ordered us to do, they contain solidarity, mercy and populating this life following the orders of Allah and the method of Allah's beloved and chosen (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
As for engineers, weapons' makers and people of these sciences and specialties:
They should fulfill the practical side in the words of The Lord of Mankind, He says:
"And make ready against them all you can of power, (including steeds of war tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, etc.)" (Surat Al-Anfal, verse 60)
But we say to the enemies of Allah: Give us weapons, special tanks and planes; do we prepare for them all we can of power as Allah ordered us? No. They only give us small amounts, and they only give us if we follow their policies among nations, but if these inventions are ours and we fulfilled what is in the book of our Lord and discovered what Allah prepared for us, no one could dare to face us.
As for soldiers, policemen and those who stay up during nights for the safety of nation everywhere:
They should know that their actual worship is to realize that they should be as the prophet said: "(Two eyes never be touched by Hell, an eye wept for fearing of Allah and) An eye stays up all night guards for Allah's sake."
Their worship is not to recite the Koran, weep or stay up nights praying, didn't they read what Allah said when He exempt fighters from Nawafel such as reciting the Koran and staying up nights, He says:
"Verily, your Lord knows that you do stand (to pray at night) a little less than two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so do a party of those with you (older people), And Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to pray the whole night, so He has turned to you (in mercy). So, recite you of the Koran as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there will be some among you sick, others traveling through the land, seeking of Allah's Bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause. So recite as much of the Koran as may be easy (for you)," (Surat Al-Moz'zam'mel, verse 20)
They say that staying up nights is a duty, for whom? For older people who retired, but the verse is clear about those who are seeking Allah's bounty and those who are fighting in Allah's cause, it excuses them for not doing these Nawafel because the deeds they are doing (working for sustenance, fighting for Allah's cause and guarding homeland) are more important than these Nawafel.
As for people who give charity and do favor:
They should know where to put their charities; I was performing Omrah during the last ten days of Ramadan, I saw good people competed to give food to people who are doing Omrah, I said to them: You should send this food to poor people far away, because people who are doing Omrah came here and they have the money they need.
So we must change Islamic conceptions among all our youths, old people and women.
