You Alone we worship. |
We learned four epithets of Allaah Almighty in the previous lessons:
He is The Lord of the Worlds.
Everything of the earth and the heavens gets its improvement by God’s Support.
He fulfils the requirements of every creature. He is the Beneficent immensely.
He resolves the problems of every person with His Kindness. He removes the
difficulties of all kinds.
He is the Merciful too. The person, who acts upon His commandments and obeys the Instructions delivered by Him, gets good retribution and after death, he will be able to find place under the shade of His Kindness. He is Owner of the Hour of the Judgment also. He produces results of our deeds in this world and gives retaliation for them. And on the Day of Resurrection, He will remit the remuneration (rewards for good acts and punishment against the evil deeds) too.
Allaah Almighty has described to the people about their duty after expressing His epithets that they must obey and worship the Only One God, remember Him day and night, at the times of sleeping and waking, sitting and standing, call Him every time, request Him at the times of calamity because He is The Redresser of grievances, be grateful to Him during pleasure and ease hours, worship only Him leaving the entire liar gods.
Worship means devotion, respect, honor, extreme humility and obedience, which are practised for God Almighty. As though, the mankind should continue worshiping of Allaah Almighty during his every movement. Islam explains that worship doesn’t mean only devotion and prayer. Besides the compliment and devotion in worship, the perfect obedience is also required and included with it compulsorily. Main aim is it that the human being should perform according to the commandments and instructions of Allaah Almighty and should not commit against His Will in any matter.
“Thee (You) Alone we worship and Thee (You) Alone we shall obey in future”. We admit that we shall never ascribe any partner with Him to anyone else in this matter.
All mankind are children of
Prophet Adam (peace be upon him). Who has the power to be called himself “God”
and compel any other to worship him? Or how can it be lawful for the mankind
that he obey someone else beside God Almighty or live according to his own
will? We all are obedient of One God “Allaah”. We are not ready to obey
any other opposing the commands and instructions of God Almighty.
