Who deserves to be Worshiped ?

So the coming prophet will have three characteristics, which are discussed in
further detail below:
― He will be like Moses (pbuh).
― He will descend from the Ishmaelites, the brothers of the Israelites.
― He will say what God instructs him to say (for God will put ‘words in his
mouth’).
Proof 2: Is like Moses (pbuh).
As explained in A Brief Illustrated Guide to Understanding Islam:
There were hardly any two prophets who were as similar as Prophets Moses
and Muhammad (bpuh). Both were given a comprehensive law and code of
life. Both encountered their enemies and were victorious in miraculous ways.
Both were accepted as prophets and statesmen. Both migrated following
conspiracies to assassinate them. Analogies between Moses and Muhammad
overlook not only the above similarities, but other crucial ones as well. These
include the natural birth, the family life, and the death of Moses and
Muhammad (bpuh) but not that of Jesus. Moreover, Jesus was regarded by his
followers as the Son of God and not exclusively as a prophet of God, as
Moses and Muhammad (bpuh) were and as Muslims believe Jesus was. So,
this prophecy refers to Muhammad (bpuh) and not to Jesus, because
Muhammad (bpuh) is more like Moses than Jesus [is]. 51
Some people believe that this prophecy refers to Prophet Jesus (pbuh), but this
cannot be true. The following eight points of comparison among Prophets Moses
(pbuh), Muhammad (bpuh) and Jesus (pbuh) demonstrate that Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
does not fit this particular prophecy. This comparison is self-evident; it clarifies the
identity of the prophet who was to come after Moses (pbuh).
