Whom Should We Worship?

This great universe and everything that is in it cannot be the product of chance, and could not have created itself. Signs testifying that Allah is the only Creator can be seen throughout the earth and in the very soul of each person. Allah has said in the Qur’an: {It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and sent down rain from the sky and produced thereby some fruits as provision for you and subjected for you the ships to sail through the sea by His command and subjected for you the rivers. And He subjected for you the sun and moon, continuous [in orbit],and subjected for you the night and the day. And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favour of Allah, you could not enumerate them…} (Qur’an 14: 32-34)2

In the Qur’an, Allah has mentioned the search of Prophet Abraham (‘alayhi as-salâm – peace be upon him)3 for the truth. This is an example of how those who follow Allah’s signs will be rightly guided to the worship of Him alone. Allah has said: {And thus did We show Abraham the realm of the heavens and the earth that he would be among the certain [in faith]. So when the night covered him [with darkness], he saw a star. He said: This is my lord. But when it set, he said: I like not those that disappear. And when he saw the moon rising, he said: This is my lord. But when it set, he said: Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the people gone astray. And when he saw the sun rising, he said: This is my lord; this is greater. But when it set, he said: O my people, indeed I am free from what you associate with Allah. Indeed, I have turned my face toward Hewho created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others with Allah.} (Qur’an 6: 75-79)

The strongest proof for Allah’s existence is the creation itself. Allah continuously instructs humankind to observe the universe, as this will affirm the divine truth of His existence and His greatness along with the fact that He alone should be worshipped.

Another obvious fact: He answers our prayers. When an individual prays (supplicates) to Allah, He answers his or her prayer; this is an indication of Allah’s existence. Allah has said in the Qur’an: {And your Lord says: Call upon Me; I will respond to you…} (Qur’an 40: 60)
