“If you were to ask them: ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ they will certainly reply: ‘Allah’. Say: ‘All praise and thanks be to Allah.’ Yet most of them do not know.” (Al Qur’an – 31:25)

Even the unbelievers conceded that God alone created the heavens and the earth. Hence why all praise should be exclusively for God because none else has any share in the creation of the universe.

Most people do not realise the implications and requirements of belief in God as the sole Creator of the Universe. Nor do they know what is inconsistent with this belief. Once a person recognises that God alone is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, he must also recognise that He is the only Lord, and the Deity Who is exclusively entitled to every kind of worship, obedience and service. Hence why one should not celebrate the glory or sing the praises of any other than the One True God. All invocations and supplications are also to be addressed only to Him. None but God can be regarded as the Sovereign or Law-Giver of His creatures. It is illogical to recognise someone as the Creator and accept others as objects of worship and service. To do so amounts to rank irrationality, and is as preposterous as simultaneously affirming two mutually contradictory propositions. Such a notion can only be entertained by those who are steeped in ignorance. It would be like being in constant and blatant conflict, all of which is unacceptable to a person of understanding.
