Monotheism vs Polytheism

When a person realizes that it is God who brought him into existence from nothingness, granted him a unique and superior personality, placed him on a remarkable planet like Earth, and created a life support system for him, this realisation forms a deep connection with God within him. God becomes his sole concern. This is the foundation of intense love for God. As one further understands that all these things are unilateral gifts from God, which can be taken away at any time, one becomes apprehensive about being held accountable for the responsibilities attached to these divine gifts. This awareness generates a feeling of intense fear, as mentioned in the Quran (9:18). Thus one comes to realise that all authority belongs solely to God. No one else possesses any authority, even in a partial sense. God is the Giver as well as the Depriver. He is the one who bestows and takes away. This recognition reminds a person of his complete helplessness, leaving him with no option but to surrender himself entirely before God.
