English Translation of Al-Quran
[21].Al-Anbiya’ [The
Prophets]
Ayat 24. Or have they taken for worship (other) âliha (gods) besides Him? Say (O Muhammad

Ayat 25. And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad

the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)."
[Tafseer] Or have they taken for worship (other) gods besides him? Say, "Bring your convincing proof: this is the Message of those with me and the Message of those before me." But most of them know not the Truth, and so turn away, where two kinds of false worship are noted. Now we are warned against a third danger, the worship of false gods of any sort. Pagan man is prolific of creating abstract images for worship, including Self or abstract Intelligence or Power. In next verse 26 mentioned a fourth kind of false worship, which imagines that Allah begets sons or daughters. This verse should be read with the next. All reason revolts against the idea of conflicting gods, and points to Unity in Creation and Unity in Godhead. This is not only the Message of Islam ("those with me") but the message of all prophets who came before the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)("those before me"), and the line of prophets was closed with him. The Message given to every prophet in all ages was that of Unity as the fundamental basis of Order and Design in the world, material, moral, and spiritual. Not a messenger did We send before thee without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I; therefore worship and serve Me.
