God is the Creator and the Sustainer of the universe who created everything for a reason. Muslims believe that He created humankind with a simple purpose — to worship Him.
He sent messengers to guide people in fulfilling this purpose. They all taught a consistent message about God by affirming His greatness as the Creator and guiding people to worship Him alone.

Fully accepting the oneness of God is to accept that He is distinct from everything else. He is the First with no beginning and the Last with no end. Everything in the universe was created by His will. He is not confined by space or time and He is the only One who is in control and provides for His creation. The best names belong to Him. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him: He is the Almighty, the Wise.
Why did God create people whom He already knew would reject Him and go to hell?

These are some common questions connected to this topic. Answered by Nouman Ali Khan. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. All that is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Him. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His leave?
He knows what is before them and what is behind them, but they do not comprehend any of His knowledge except what He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth; it does not weary Him to preserve them both. He is the Most High, the Tremendous.
The primary pillar of Islamic belief clearly states that there is nothing worthy of worship except God. Associating partners with God or attributing qualities of lesser beings to Him is considered to be the greatest sin in Islam.
In the past, this often took the form of idol worship or praying to multiple lesser gods. They become so consumed with these things that they submit to whatever will allow them to fulfill their desires. For example, if a drug addict allows their addiction to control their actions, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors, causing them to risk their personal safety and the safety of others, that drug has essentially become their god.
Islam teaches that people should completely submit only to God as He is the only One worthy of their worship. He is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and everything in it belongs to Him. The Quran points out the faulty thinking of those who worship other than God:.
In order to be a true believer, one must believe in the absolute oneness of God, as the only Creator, Preserver and Nourisher of everything. However, this belief in the true characteristics of God is not the sole condition of true faith; one must also acknowledge that God is the only one who deserves to be worshipped. Indeed, He guides humanity to what is best for them in this life and the hereafter and He is All-Knowing and All-Wise. Having embraced this understanding of God, one should constantly have faith in Him, and should remain steadfast on the truth.
One of the striking effects of faith is a feeling of gratitude towards God. God expected His covenant people to refer to Him — either directly or indirectly — with reverence and respect. This, of course, has not changed. He is still the same God.
A retired Bible professor, and good friend of mine, recently brought to my attention that there are actually three requests here, though it is hard to recognize them in English. That needs to be the prayer and the longing of every disciple of Jesus. It is what is known about Him.
People draw conclusions about who God is and what He is all about by watching us and listening to us talk about Him. Our mission is to be partnering with God to make sure that on earth — just as it is in heaven — His name is hallowed, His rule and reign is established, and His will is done. In our words and our deeds, let us strive to make Him known. Let us strive for His name to be hallowed on our lips and across the world, just as it is in heaven.
