Who deserves to be Worshiped ?

This basic part of belief (that Allah deserves the best names and attributes) has
been emphasized repeatedly in the noble Quran. This is evident to the reader of the
Quran, who finds that numerous Quranic verses end with a reference to a divine
attribute, such as {the All-Hearing, All-Seeing}, {the Most Forgiving, the All-
Compassionate}, and {the Most High, the Most Great}.
17.3 Revival of the doctrine of monotheism (worship of Allah
alone)
As mentioned earlier, the call to believe in Allah alone (monotheism), without any
intermediary, was the message of all the prophets; therefore, any acts of worship
must be directed to Allah alone. Because of the persisting deviation in this doctrine,
it has had to be reaffirmed by all of the prophets of Allah throughout the ages. The
monotheistic message of Islam simply tells people that they should worship Allah
only and that they should not worship anyone or anything other than Allah, in any
way, shape or form.
However, Christians now call upon (supplicate to) Jesus (and others) besides
Allah. Moreover, they direct all types of worship to Jesus. Associating others with
Allah is nothing but polytheism. Surprisingly, although the text of the Bible has
been altered significantly, it still contains evidence that Jesus called others towards
monotheism:
• In Luke 4:5-7, the devil asked Jesus to worship him, promising him the
authority and glory of all of the kingdoms of this world.
And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your
God, and him only shall you serve.’” (Luke 4:8)
• And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is
none besides me. Turn to Me and be saved…To Me every knee shall bow.
(Isaiah 45:21-23)
• Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is
no other. (Isaiah 45:22)
