The Almighty as its name suggests is righteousness itself for it has created mankind in its first place. As it is suggested in Quran: "And verlily my God is the righteous path"; The Almighty is all-encompassing, all virtues and all names equally grand; henceforth the creation is naturally set upon the righteous path, no one greater than other before God. As is with salvation and unity with the one and only, prayers shall be directed toward its sacredness. Just as is in Quran "We shall worship only you, and we shall ask only your aid" all ranks shall be equal before God. "Guide us toward the Righteous Path" Quran says and this path is the one set forth by the almighty creator, for him is the worship and godhead, for man is worshipping and manhood.
