God, he is bowing down to a creature like himself, unworthy of such reverence. Worshipping God grants greatness to humans while worshipping anyone other than God leads to a life of superstition. Worshipping God opens the door to the realization of God, whereas worshipping anyone else closes that door. Monotheism is belief in the one God, but there are countless forms of polytheism. For a monotheist, there is only one God who becomes his sole concern, the centre of his attention, and the object of his worship. His entire life is dedicated to this one God. On the other hand, a polytheist lacks a single central point of focus, leading to the emergence of countless forms of polytheism, ranging from the worship of stars, the earth, idols, saints, graves, wealth, power, and family. The Quran explicitly condemns such practices. A monotheist attributes all greatness to one God and seeks the fulfillment of his desires solely from Him. His worship is directed only to God, and he places his utmost trust in Him, considering Him superior in every aspect. Worship represents the ultimate expression of attachment to someone, which is why all forms of worship are exclusively the right of the one God. Worship of any kind is impermissible for anyone other than God.
