Who deserves to be Worshiped ?

29. CONCLUSION
The following twenty-five facts were discussed in this book:
First, the purpose of creation is to worship Allah alone.
Second, the basic message of Islam is to worship Allah alone, without any
intercessor or mediator. Any form of worship that is not dedicated to Allah alone
will be rejected for being a form of polytheism, which amounts to apostasy from the
Islamic point of view.
Third, the evidence that only Allah has the right to be worshipped was
elaborated.
Fourth, Islam is a restatement of the basic message of all religions: worship
Allah alone. It is the last religion, for all people and for all times. So all
people―whether they were raised as Jews, Christians, Hindus, atheists, or with any
other creed―should follow Islam once they hear about it, pronouncing the
testimony right away to become Muslim without further delay. Whoever rejects has
rejected the message of Allah, and accordingly will be cast into hell. Such people
cannot expect guidance after they have deliberately renounced guidance.
Fifth, Islam’s belief system is uniquely rational, simple and uncomplicated. It
rejects all forms of polytheism and false beliefs.
Sixth, both the divine origin of the name of the religion ‘Islam’ and the
comprehensiveness of its meaning point to its truth.
Seventh, the message of false religions is paganism (the worship of creatures,
rather than the Creator).
Eighth, Islam is the only religion today that teaches the right concept of Allah,
free of any confusion or irrational facts.
Ninth, Islam’s basic principles and characteristics point to its truth.
Tenth, indeed, Islam is the only religion that fights extremism—whether that
extremism comes from secularism and materialism or from excessive spiritualism.
