God is the only one we may serve and praise....We may not act in this way toward anything beneath God, whether it be an angel, a star, or one of the elements.....There are no intermediaries between us and God. All our prayers should be directed towards God; nothing else should even be considered.
- Maimonides
Note: Anything that diverges from this is not monotheism. No prophet or pope or saint possesses the honour of Almighty Allah.
