“And Those Who Does Not Judge by What Allah Has Revealed, Such Are the Disbelievers”
Worship Allah
Islam is a religion of true faith and believes, as none of the believers, except Mohammad (S.A.W), has ever talked to Allah or had even seen a slight vision of Allah. The above reference of Quran tells us about His oneness in creation, which has solely created the entire universe. When a Muslim realizes the fact that Allah is in command of all that is in Heavens and on Earth. They will not seek help from people who claim themselves as a god. Through the realization of the fact that Allah is beyond human comprehension. Muslims will not waste time in shaping the perception of his existence and his physical attributes. Rather they would utilize their time in worshipping Him. When a Muslim firmly believes that Allah is All-Knowing and well aware of each and every step He takes and every secret in his heart, the person will not commit worldly sins like robbery, theft, bribery or sins in loneliness or darkness. This will purify his heart, spirit and moral. He will also become fair in dealings with people. Many surahs in the Quran forces a Muslim away from Shirk which is labelled as an unforgivable sin in Islam and there is no way for a person to avoid Hellfire after committing this heinous crime. A Muslim must realize the fact Allah must be worshipped not because it is beneficial for Allah, but because worshipping will benefit the believers as a whole. His main element of worshipping Allah must lie in the fact that Allah is the only One who will provide with forgiveness and everything one desires to achieve in this world. The main source of having a believer in contacting Allah is performing Prayers. The key elements of an accepted salah are the following:- Ablution of purification
