Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He, to Musa:
Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِي
[Taha 20:14]
Is there evidence in this that the first thing to which people are called is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the worship of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He?

Answer:
Yes, there is no doubt.
so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.فَاعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِي
[Taha 20:14]
This indicates the virtue of the prayer, that Allah specified it, even though it is included in worship, included in His saying "worship Me," but He specified it alone because of its importance. Yes.
