WORTHY OF BEING WORSHIPPED.

That no one other than Allâhu ta’âlâ is worthy of being worshipped is a fact that can be seen writ large. In fact, it is intuitive. That is, it will appear in one’s mind without the need for conscious reasoning. If a person understands well what ‘worship’ means and ponders deeply on the Attributes of Allâhu ta’âlâ which we have explained above, he will immediately know that no one other than Him is worthy of being worshipped. Arguments presented to show this fact are, so to speak, efforts in labouring the obvious. It is out of the question to refute or to reject or to dispute arguments of this sort. Seeing this fact without the need for such arguments requires having attained the nûr of îmân, the light of îmân. There is many an obvious and self-evident fact that addlebrained and thick-headed idiots cannot see. And there is many a sickly and neurotic person who cannot discern many obvious facts, conspicuous and inconspicuous ones alike.
