Purposeful Creation : God's Vision for Mankind

English book, p. 24

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

we must reserve for Him the supreme status in all respects. Worship is the ultimate stage in any relationship: that is why, whatever its form, it must have God as its object. Therefore, any gesture in the nature of adulation is not permissible except when meant for God. When an individual makes God the object of his worship, he bows before an entity which really exists. On the contrary, one who makes a non-God the object of his worship bows before something which has no actual existence, even though he may have set up some material image of his ‘god’. While in the former case, one has found a trustworthy source of power, in the latter case, one has associated himself with crass superstitious notions, which have no basis in logic. God’s worshippers are graced with eternal blessings; the worshippers of things other than God can expect nothing but lasting deprivation. “SORRY, THIS NUMBER DOES NOT EXIST” Establishing a relationship with the true God is the biggest blessing for man. Then, one receives guidance and develops a spiritual personality. If you dial someone’s number on your phone and press the wrong button, your call will not be connected to the person you want to speak to. You will not hear a ‘Hello’ from the other side. Instead, you may listen to a recorded message from the telephone exchange, saying, “Sorry, this number does not exist.”
