As-Salaam alaikum,

In ayat 57 of Surat Zariyat of the Holy Qur'an (51:57), Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says:--

"No sustenance do I require of them, nor do I

require that they should feed Me."

This establishes the fact that Almighty Allah is free of needs and by definition beyond the concerns of whether man worships or serves Him or not. Man, however, for his own sake, needs to establish a relationship to Allah Ta'ala. This relationship is that of Abudiyyah (servitude)... says the Qur'an:--

"I have only created Jinns and Men, that they may

serve Me." (51:56)

Hidden, but discernible in this unique relationship of servitude, only to Allah, is the secret of the ultimate freedom of man from all other bondages. This servant of Allah, His sincere bondsman, is free of all earthly gods and goddesses... be they of power, beauty, wealth, race or colour.

We must serve Allah Ta'ala and turn to Him for guidance in all our endeavors.
