Do you Worship
The Creator ?

Have you heard of the story of Noah’s ark? Of course, everyone has heard the
story of the great flood; but do you know the sin of Noah’s people which
caused the wrath of The Creator to come upon the Earth? In fact Noah’s
people were guilty of committing the gravest of sins.

Who is the Creator?

Most people would agree that this vast magnificent universe did not happen by
chance. Rather most believe that it was created, perfected and arranged by
SOMEONE who is All Wise, and All Knowing. The Muslims and The Arab
Christians refer to Him by the name of ALLAH, which when translated into
the English Language simply means,

“ THE GOD.”

ALLAH says, In Chapter 7 of the Qu`ran verse 54, what can be translated as,

“Indeed your Lord is ALLAH, Who created the heavens and the earth in
Six Days, and then He rose over the Throne. He brings the night as a
cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and He created the sun, the moon,
and the stars, (all) subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the
Creation and Commandment. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds
and all that exists!

ALLAH alone is The Creator of the Universe, The Owner of the
Universe, The One who arranges all of the affairs of the Universe. He
alone is the Lord of the Universe and everything which is in it.

What is the right of The Creator over His creation ?

Now that we have agreed that The Creator is One, and that He alone has the
ability to bring about benefit, or to prevent harm, and that He alone is the one
who fashions man in the womb, and He is the only provider for all of the
creation. Then we must agree that He alone deserves to be worshipped.

WOULDN’T YOU AGREE…?

ALLAH says in Chapter 2 verses 21, and 22 of the Qu`ran

“O mankind! Worship your Lord (ALLAH), Who created you and those
who were before you so that you may become pious. Who has made the
earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down
water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a
provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto ALLAH (in worship)
while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).”

What is The Greatest Sin?

The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him was asked, “What is the
greatest sin?” He said,

“That you make rivals or partners with ALLAH, while He alone created
you.”

Worship is a term which includes supplication, prayer, sacrifice and vowing and
it is the exclusive right of the Creator alone. It is not permissible to direct any
act of worship towards the created things such as Angels, Prophets (i.e. Jesus,
Moses, Muhammad etc.), saints, cows, idols, trees, the sun, the moon, the devil,
or anything else from that which was created.

ALLAH says in Chapter 7 verse 191

“Do they attribute as partners to Allah those who created nothing, but
they themselves are created?”

ALLAH says in Chapter 22 verse 73

“O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully):
Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly,
even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a
thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are
(both) the seeker and the sought.”

Creation worship or polytheism was the sin of Noah’s people. They began to
worship the righteous people that had passed away, this was done as a means of
getting closer to The Creator.

Who is more deserving of our Worship The Creator or His
Creation?

Now, we know that the greatest sin is to worship other with ALLAH; when
ALLAH alone is the one that created and sent Messengers to convey the
message, “That none has the right to be worshiped in truth except
ALLAH.” He is the ONE that created the Messengers, and their behavior as
examples for all of mankind to follow. It must be understood that it would be
an obvious contradiction for any Messenger of GOD to allow others, including
themselves to be worship, when ALLAH alone is The Creator Who created
them (and everything else).

WILL YOU NOT AGREE…..?


ALLAH says in Chapter 72 verse 18,

“And the places of worship are for ALLAH alone, so do not call upon
anyone other than Him.”

How do I know if I’m worshipping Allah, or Not?


ALLAH, is not part of a trinity. He does not resemble His creation in any
aspect. ALLAH is not a man, spirit, or an Angel. ALLAH is the sole creator
of the entire universe and nothing is similar to Him.

ALLAH says in Chapter 112

“Say: He is ALLAH the One. The Self Sufficient Master, whom all
creatures need (He neither eats nor drink), He begets not nor was He
begotten. And there is none co-equal or comparable to Him.”

ALLAH says, in Chapter 2 verse 255

“ALLAH! None has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever Living,
the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor
sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with
His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in
this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will
never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He
wills. His footstool extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels
no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High,
the Most Great.”

ALLAH says in Chapter 39 verse 67,

“They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on
the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His
Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is
He, and high is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!”
