The associated noun is Abd translated as slave who is a person
under someones control, having no power on anything 16:75. We are
required to serve only one God 9:31 i.e. Allah (SWT) as slaves 21:25,
51:56 and not to associate partners with Him 13:36 making our religion
exclusively for Him 39:11. The whole creation including the angels
43:19 are slaves of Allah (SWT) 19:93 . Polytheists serve and worship
besides Allah (SWT) things which do not have control on any thing 5:76,
16:73, 26:71, 29:17. Many of the objects of worship are just names
12:40. Ibadat 4:172 conveys the sense of serving or worshipping Allah
(SWT) as an obedient slave, i.e. practically implementing the Holy
Quran in the manner illustrated by prophet Muhammed (PBH).

Huda from the same root alphabets means Guidance 2:2.
Guidance could be towards some thing good 40:38 as well as towards

guidance 2:120 which is written down in the Holy Quran 2:185 and
demonstrated by prophet Muhammed (PBH) 33:21 the last messenger of
Allah 33:40. Following the guidance contained in the Holy Quran in the
manner illustrated by prophet Muhammed (PBH) is following the
straight path leading to paradise 64:9, 33:71. Contrary to this,
following the evil suggestions of the devil leads one to hell 22:4. Allah
(SWT) guides whom He Wills to 42:52 and this guidance of Allah (SWT)
is His favour on those guided 49:17. Had He Willed He could have
guided the whole humanity towards the right path 13:31 Allah (SWT)
created everything, He set up the equilibrium then programmed it and
finally guided it to follow His programme. 87:1-3 Al-Hadi is an
Attribute of Allah (SWT) meaning the Guide 25:31 and Hadiyyah
