Important advice for the whole Ummah - “Worship Allah alone and do not associate any partners with Him..."

 -----

Allah commands people in general to know that they they should worship Him because He created them and fear Him by carrying out His Commands and avoiding His Prohibitions. `Ibadah (worship of Allah) implies piousness, guidance, righteousness and Islam with which Allah sent the Messengers and sent down the Divine Books. It indicates that we should worship Allah Alone, seek Him Only with our obedience and acts of worship, carry out the acts of worship in accordance with what He (Glorified be He) legislated, not to worship anyone beside Him, be it a jinn, a human being, an idol, a star or anything else from among His Creatures.

Allah (Exalted be He) says in Surah-Al-Fatihah,  You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).  And He (Glorified be He) says in other Surahs,  And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allâh, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him)  And,  O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allâh)  And,  And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him.  And,  So, call you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the believers) upon (or invoke) Allâh making (your) worship pure for Him (Alone) (by worshipping none but Him and by doing religious deeds sincerely for Allâh’s sake only and not to show off and not to set up rivals with Him in worship), however much the disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allâh) may hate (it).  All these and many other Ayahs prove the necessity of seeking Allah Alone with worship and discarding all other than Him .
