he basic message of Islam is the same message of all the previous
prophets: worship God alone and avoid worshipping anything besides
Him, whether it is a person, place or thing, directly or indirectly. This basic
principle of Monotheism is contained in the opening chapter of the Qur’an,
known as Soorat al-Faatihah, verse 4: “You alone we worship and from
you alone we do seek help.” In (4:36), God also said: “Worship Allah and
do not associate partners with Him.” Muhammad, the last Prophet (mercy
and peace of God be upon him) is reported to have said: “Anyone who
says: There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, and dies holding
that belief will be granted paradise.”5
