Introduction

Islamic Scriptures makes it abundantly clear that in the house of Islam, it is only Allah (SWT) who is worthy of any kind of worship:

“(It teacheth) that ye should worship none but Allah. (Say:) “Verily I am (sent) unto you from Him to warn and to bring glad tidings: (Qur’an 11:2)

“Say: “O ye men! if ye are in doubt as to my religion (behold!) I worship not what ye worship other than Allah But I worship Allah Who will take your souls (at death): I am commanded to be (in the ranks) of the Believers. (Qur’an 10:104)

“If not Him ye worship nothing but names which ye have named ye and your fathers for which Allah hath sent you no authority: the Command is for none but Allah: He hath commanded that ye worship none but Him: that is the right religion but Most men understand not…(Qur’an 12:40)

“Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what hath been revealed unto thee: but there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say: “I am commanded to worship Allah and not to join partners with Him. Unto Him do I call and unto Him is my return.” (Qur’an 13:36)

“Verily those whom ye call upon besides Allah are servants like unto you: Call upon them, and let them listen to your prayer, if ye are (indeed) truthful!” (Qur’an 7:194)

The Prophetic Hadith also provides the same message of worshipping Allah (SWT) alone:

“Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, “Whoever said “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a barley grain will be taken out of Hell. And whoever said: “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a wheat grain will be taken out of Hell. And whoever said, “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of an atom will be taken out of Hell.” (Bukhari, Book 1, Volume 2, Hadith 42)
