Worship Allah Alone

Surah Al-Ankabut

وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ ۖ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

And ˹remember˺ when Abraham said to his people, “Worship Allah, and fear Him. This is better for you if only you knew. [29:16]

إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْثَـٰنًۭا وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًۭا فَٱبْتَغُوا۟ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرِّزْقَ وَٱعْبُدُوهُ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لَهُۥٓ ۖ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ

You worship besides Allah nothing but idols, simply creating lies about them. Those you worship besides Allah certainly cannot give you any provision. So seek provision from Allah ˹alone˺, worship Him, and be grateful to Him. To Him, you will ˹all˺ be returned. [29:17]

وَإِن تُكَذِّبُوا۟ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أُمَمٌۭ مِّن قَبْلِكُمْ ۖ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

If you ˹Meccans˺ persist in denial, so did ˹many˺ communities before you. The Messenger’s duty is only to deliver the message clearly.” [29:18]

Allah tells us in these ayats how His servant and Messenger Ibrahim called his people to worship and fear Allah and not to associate any partners with Him. Ibrahim also told his people that worshipping anything or anyone besides Allah will not give them any provisions in their life.

Meaning, only Allah can grant us what we want and need in this life. Only Allah should be worshipped ALONE and we should be grateful to Him as He is the only one who can forgive our sins, guide us, grant us Jannah, and give us anything we ask for in this Dunya.

And remember, when we die who will we be returned to? Allah (SWT).
