Completing the book What is Islam? and following the previous blog . The Belief that Allah Must Be the Only Object of Worship

It is of extreme importance to realize that recognizing the facts

about the existence of only one Creator and Sustainer is not all there

is when it comes to the Islamic concept of “belief in God.” Actually,

recognizing that fact is something that should be beyond question and

should be clear to all as, again, it is something innate in human souls.

The far more important and subtle issue is what one then does

concerning one’s belief in only one Creator and Sustainer. Actually,

once one understands and accepts the attributes and qualities of Allah

as discussed in the previous section, the relationship that one should

have with the Creator and Sustainer becomes clear. In other words,

the conclusion should flow from the unquestionable premise.

Perhaps a couple of examples will make this point clearer.

As noted above, in reality, Allah is the only perfect and great creator.

He is the source of all goodness and help, as He alone has

power over all things. He is active in His creation and He has not left

it to run its own course without His ever-existing acts of creating and

re-creating.

Furthermore, Allah is perfect and great, far above all human

comprehension and imagination. In general, what is a person’s attitude toward that which they find to be

perfect, great and

marvelous? It is usually one of awe, respect and honor. Furthermore,

can one treat any other being as equal to or even be held in

comparison with the Creator?

The answer: Of course not, just one word.
