In addition to many other Ayahs with which Allah (Exalted be He) guides to the truth of His being the Lord of mankind and all existence. All messengers came to preach this truth. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says: And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming): "Worship Allâh (Alone), and avoid (or keep away from) Tâghût (all false deities i.e. do not worship Tâghût besides Allâh)." And: And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) but We revealed to him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allâh)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)." And: That is because Allâh ­ He is the Truth (the only True God of all that exists, Who has no partners or rivals with Him), and what they (the polytheists) invoke besides Him, it is Bâtil (falsehood). And verily, Allâh ­ He is the Most High, the Most Great. And: So worship Allâh (Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh's sake only. Surely the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allâh only. And: Allâh is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakîl (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian) over all things. And: Is there any creator other than Allâh
Allah then explains the proofs in many places, which, when reflected on by a believer, they will surely realize that the textual evidence is supported by visible and palpable evidence. Therefore, after His Statement: O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allâh) Allah (Glorified be He) mentions the proof, saying: Who created you and those who were before you so that you may become Al­Muttaqûn (the pious). The meaning is that our Creator is the only One worthy of worship because He created us and provides for all creatures. This is a matter which is known by Fitrah (innate pure nature) and sound minds. People do not create themselves, but are created by their Creator. Allah is the Creator by textual and logic­based evidence. Then Allah (Glorified be He) says: Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allâh (in worship) while you know (that He Alone has the right to be worshipped).
