Humans Created with a Need to Worship
Allaah
created humans with a need to worship to compliment their natural belief in
God.
The first
command in the Qur’aan is to worship:
“O human kind!
Worship your Lord, Who created you and those before you so that you may become
pious.” (Soorah al-Baqarah, 2: 21)
Humans
everywhere, in every corner of the earth, in every era are involved in worshipping
God. The worship may be distorted in form and content. But, nevertheless, they
are obsessed with worshipping God.
Times of
Crises
Even
those who deny God, when death overtakes them at the point of death or calamity
the call out for God.
“When being drowned
caught him, he cried: ‘I believe that none has the right to be worshipped but
He in whom the Children of Israa’eel believe. And I am one of the Muslims.” (Soorah
Younus, 10: 90)
“When I show favor
to a human being, he withdraws and turns away; but when evil touches him, his
supplications become long.” (Soorah Fussilat, 41: 51)
“They denied them [the signs] wrongfully and
arrogantly, though their own selves were convinced of them.” (Soorah an-Naml, 27:
14)
Yusuf
Islam mentioned that the first time he reached out for God was when he was swimming
and started to drown a voice welled up from inside him: “O God! Save me and I’ll
be good.”
The
atheist on a Boeing 747 sees an engine fall of one of the wings and the plane
turns downward in a death dive, screams out: “O God! O God! O God!”
