Prostration and worship belong to God alone, not to sun, moon or any creature (41:37).

What it means

“Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon, but prostrate to God who created them, if it is Him you worship” (41:37). The Quran uses the verse to teach tawhid through creation: what is worshipped should not itself be among the things that are made.
