THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 21st day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Thursday 15th December. 2022). ALLAH ALONE DESERVES OUR WORSHIP BECAUSE HE ALONE CREATED US. BismilLah. 

ALLAH says in Qur'an 36:60-61

أَلَمۡ أَعۡهَدۡ إِلَيۡكُمۡ يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعۡبُدُواْ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ 

Did I not command you, O Children of Aadam, that you should not worship Shaytan, Verily, he is a plain enemy to you.

(This is a rebuke from ALLAH to the disbelievers among the sons of Aadam, those who are disobeying ALLAH and worshipping HIS creation and Messengers such as the worshipers of Jesus Christ alaihi salaam).

ALLAH added by saying;

وَأَنِ ٱعۡبُدُونِىۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسۡتَقِيمٌ 

And that you should worship ME. That is the straight path.

meaning, `I commanded you in the world to disobey the Shaytan, and I commanded you to worship ME, and this is the straight path, but you followed a different path and you followed the commands of the Shaytan. ASTAGHFIRULLAH. 

Narrated 'Abdullah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: I asked the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), "What is the greatest sin in consideration with ALLAH?" He said, "That you set up a rival to ALLAH though HE Alone created you." I said, "That is indeed a great sin." Then I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To kill your child or innocent being." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbour." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, 6/4477). 

May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and protects us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
