Verses 67-68THIS IS YOUR LORD VERSE NO.64ِ66

      ``Allah is He Who made the earth a place of rest for you, and the sky as a canopy. It is He Who shaped you and made the shaping well and sustained you with good things.''

      If we would ponder a while upon the spacious earth which all its movements and quakes have been controlled, so as to make it a resting place; and also we would think of the canopy of the sky, which protects us from many dangerous phenomena, like the fall of meteors; and the advantages that man has over all the creatures because of his especial shape which is so well formed; and the variety of food and sustenance that Allah has provided for himِwe would certainly come to the conclusion that we will have to celebrate the praise of God, and Give our most sincere thanks to Him.

      When such is our Lord God whom we call Allah, He is the only reality that should be served, and the only truth that should be worshipped, and all other objects of worship are only delusions and mirages. We then will have to conform our deeds and decisions with our Lord, Who is the only truth and the only reality. In other word; Let us worship no one and nothing except God.

      Then reference is made to another important attribute and qualification of AllahِHe is Alive.

      God is livingِLife in God differs from that of creatures. In animals life is borrowedِIn God Life is Substantial. God's life depends on His own Substance, but our life depends on God. God's life and living is everlasting and unchangeable-where as our life is temporary and changeableِGod's life is without death, and without weakening.

      Therefore to worship an idol who has no life, no sense of sight, or hearing, is a fool's worship. Even our deified men and women depend entirely on God, and have nothing of themselves to give, and they do not deserve a worship that Praise belongs to God alone.

      Therefore our religionِour ritesِand worship, must be exclusively for Allahِentirely purified for Him, and no one, and nothing else.
