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 Surah 7 Of The Qu’Ran, Ayat 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. WILL YOU NOT AGREE…..?
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 Surah 2 Ayat 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, SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam, 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 (peace be upon them all) Etc.), Saints, Cows, Idols, Trees, The Sun, The Moon, The Devil, Or Anything Else From That Which Was Created.
ALLAH Says In Surah 7 ayat 191:
“Do They Attribute As Partners To Allah Those Who Created Nothing, But They Themselves Are Created?”
ALLAH Says In Quran Surah 22 Ayat 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.”
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.
Creation Worship Or Polytheism Was The Sin Of Noah’s People. They Began To Worship The Righteous People Who 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 Who Created And Sent Messengers To Convey The Message, “That None Has The Right To Be Worshiped In Truth Except ALLAH.”
He Is The ONE Who 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 Worshipped, When ALLAH Alone Is The Creator Who Created Them (And Everything Else). WILL YOU NOT AGREE…..?
ALLAH Says In Surah 72 Ayat 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 Quran Surah 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 Surah 2 Ayat 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 Surah 39 Ayat 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!”
IS THE CREATOR WORTHY OF WORSHIP OR THE CREATION?
