My brothers and sisters, the first instruction that Allah has issued in the Quran is

verse number 21 of Surat Al-Baqarah.

It is his follows.

Ya ayyuhan, suy'budu, Rabbakum, allathi khalaqa,

wa allathi nami, kabalikum, la allaikum, tattaqoon.

O people, worship your Lord who created you and created those before you.

In order that you achieve consciousness of him,

in order to develop the correct relationship with him,

you need to worship your Lord.

If you look at the term Rabbakum, it is the one who has nurtured you, nourishes you,

cherishes you, obviously initially created you,

and thereafter in shah Allah you would be returning to him.

So whoever that is, he's our deity.

He is Allah, Subhan Allah.

He is the one who is worthy of worship.

None is worthy of worship besides him.

So if you would like to achieve that relationship with Allah,

you need to worship him alone.

And you need to understand there is no doubt when it comes to worship in Islam.

Because you worship only the one who made you.

Nobody else, no one else and nothing else.
