Worshiping others can never help to bring those worshipers closer to God!

 

Verses 2-3 of Chapter 39

(O Muhammad,) We have sent down this Book to you with the truth, so worship Allah alone, making your religion His exclusively. Beware! Religion is exclusively Allah's right. As for those who have taken other guardians besides Him (and justify their conduct, saying): "We worship them only that they may bring us closer to Allah." Allah will surely judge between them concerning all that in which they differ. Allah does not show guidance to any liar and denier of the truth.
