Moreover, their final destination and return are to Him. He is their object of worship and their God. None but Him is worthy of worship, just as none but Him created them, because of the attributes of divinity that are His by right and His alone. He has no partner in these attributes, no peer, and nothing is like Him.

He is the First, before whom there is nothing; the Last, after whom there is nothing; the Outward, above whom there is nothing; and the Inward, nearer than whom there is nothing. He is with us wherever we are. We know that His being with His servants takes various forms, and that they occupy different degrees in this regard.

The same applies to His lordship over them and their servitude, through which they are made subject to Him; to their taking Him as their God, His being their God, and their worship, through which they are worshippers; and likewise to His nearness to them and their nearness to Him.
