"Tell them this plainly because the Revelation sent to you and to all the Prophets before you has
has been this: "if you ascribe a partner to Allah, all your works will be rendered vain, and you
indeed will be among loosers." Therefor, O Prophet you should worship only Allah and be
among His grateful servants.
[The Holy Quran Surah Al-Zumar, Chapter 39 and Verses 65 and 66]
Worship is another name for thankfulness, and thanking God for His favors requires that we should not bow our head to
any other authority except God. He created us, gave us eyes, nose, ears, tongue and brain. It is our duty to thank Him for
these great favors, and we thank Him with tongue and other limbs given by Him. But His generosity is so great that He
confers on us Paradise for our thankfulness. Our action was limited, but He give us umlimited reward
