Who deserves to be Worshiped ?

1. PROOF OF ALLAH’S EXISTENCE
This great universe and everything in it cannot be the product of chance, and it 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
Quran: 1
{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 favours of Allah, you could not enumerate them...} (Quran 14:
32-34) 2
In the Quran, Allah has mentioned how Prophet Abraham tried to show his
people the futility of worshipping the creation instead of the Creator. This is an
example of how those who follow Allah’s signs will be rightly guided to the
worship of Him alone.
{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
