Re: Making a deal with God
Peace sharaabee
Another way to answer this question other than simply Allah is deserving of worship is to consider actually that worshipping Him or not does Him no benefit or harm.
Rather since Allah Loves us so much there is every excuse for Him to enable us to worship Him more for our own sakes, because we gain in worshipping Him. So really Allah (SWT) enables us to worship Him by fulfilling our du’a, which He also enabled. Some people cannot even ask from Allah (SWT) because He has distanced His love from their hearts so they neither think of Him as deserving of worship nor think it of any use to ask Him to fulfil their du’as … such people are in a bad place indeed and they don’t even realise it.
So God is not attention hungry to grant on account of more praise, but God is so Merciful that if a person promises to worship more then Allah (SWT) enables that for the sake of his slave - in order for the slave to gain more benefit from praising God more.

Praising a king is unlike praising God, when you praise the king … the king benefits from the praise and returns the praise with kindness … when you praise God … God gives you the benefit of the praise by raising your ranks of piety and delivers kindness on you more generously than any king.
