Let
us search the Quran and see what should be the object of our worship while
offering Namaz. The Holy Quran states :
To Him is due the real prayer (for help), and those to whom they
pray (for help) besides Him, do not respond to them in anything . . . . . (Ch:13 Vs:14)
And to Allah bows down whoever (and whatever) is in the skies and
the earth willingly and unwillingly and their shadows (too), in the mornings
and in the evenings. Say '"Who is the Fosterer of the skies and the
earth?" Say, "Allah." Say, "Then do you take guardians
besides Him, who do not have the power to benefit or harm (even) their
ownselves?" ..... (Ch:13 Vs:14 to 16)
You alone do we serve and (from) you alone do we seek help. (Ch:l Vs:4)
It is clear from the above
verses of the Holy Quran that we are required to worship and serve only Allah
(SWT) and no one else. Worshipping anything other than Allah (SWT) and
considering that Allah has partners are sins known as Kufr and Shirk which will
not be forgiven and the punishment of which is hell. It is of utmost importance
that we should be very clear and correct in our belief (Iman), that: Allah
(SWT) is the Greatest, the Most Powerful, no one is equal to Him in anything,
Everything good or bad happens by his command, no one can stop Him from doing
anything He wishes, He is the Supreme, the only Master of everything
everywhere.
If there were two or more gods then
each God would have had his own followers and all the followers of each god
would have got their food, water, air, clothing etc. from their respective
gods. On the contrary, all human beings, animals and plants get their food,
water and all other necessities from common sources which proves that God is
ONE, that is Allah (SWT) and besides Him there is no other God. He has created
everything and has full control on everything. He brings us to life and causes
us to die. He knows everything, is always watching us whether we are busy
worshiping Him or doing anything else. He helps every one but does not need any
one's help. He has neither parents nor children, He is alone. No one is like
Him, He is the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful, the Cherisher and Sustainer
of everything everywhere.
We should worship only Allah (SWT) and
ask only Him for all help, do all that He has ordered us to do and abstain from
that which He has forbidden because He rewards the good and punishes the evil.
In the known and the unknown universe everything is created by Allah (SWT). We
should not worship anything created but worship only the CREATOR, that is,
ALLAH (SWT) and serve only Him...
