To convince the unbelievers to choose the correct route towards Allah, I would cite specific Ayats, given that they had acknowledged the lordships of Allah while simultaneously praying to idols. I can persuade him to accept Allah's book by providing some scientific proof as well. Then, after accepting the book, I may say some ayat like

فَراغَ إِلى آلِهَتِهِمْ فَقالَ أَلا تَأْكُلُونَ (91) ما لَكُمْ لا تَنْطِقُونَ (92) فَراغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًا بِالْيَمِينِ (93) This indicates that when Prophet Ibrahim entered to their idols and began smashing them, none of them could stand up for themselves or even eat or defend.So how can you worship someone with Allah?

# data[].attributes.body
Idols are just a way to get closer to allah (SWT), they are basically cannot do anything that Allah (SWT) can do, for example Allah (SWT) gave everything what was right for it and believed in its survival. Don’t you see that beautiful plant, if Allah (SWT) cut it down, could it live? No, rather it will be dried up debris, and everything, if you contemplate it, you will find that it is connected to Allah (SWT). If it were not for Allah (SWT) nothing would be possible or even alive

As for your question, why did Allah create us?

The answer is for the sake of worshiping Him, thanking Him, and remembering Him, and doing what He, Glory be to Him, has commanded us to do, and you know that among the creation is the unbeliever and among them is the Muslim, and this is because God wanted to test His servants and test them as to whether they worship Him or worship others, and that is after God has made clear the path for everyone. قال تعالى (الذي خلق الموت والحياة ليبلوكم أيكم أحسن عملاً) تبارك/2 وقال تعالى : ( وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون)  الذاريات/56

Imagine asserting that a corporation has a single boss while also asserting that several people in the office also have bossy roles. Surely, that defies logic? Declaring that Allah is the only God and then identifying idols with Him is equivalent to declaring that there is only one boss in Islam but considering other things as bosses; it is incompatible with the fundamental tenet of the oneness of Allah.

1-If the non Muslims claim that Allah made everything in this world and earth including stones,then a question arises on how a stone which is a creation of Allah (S.W.T) be worshipped along with Allah. How a God will create another God.

2- A God should be someone who is above all creatures on earth. Hence a God should be someone who we can not see, hear or touch as all humans are capable of doing the same. Therefore arising the question on how idols who can be seen and touched be worshipped along with Allah (S.W.T)

We could start by comparing the basic differences between idols that they worship and Allah in who we believe. It is evident that idols can neither communicate with their false worshippers nor can they fulfill any of their wishes or prayers. We can then start listing out what out Lord has done for us through every surah of the Quran. We can give support to our part through the struggles of the Prophets to prove that Islam is the one and true religion.

# data[].attributes.body
1. proving that idols have no hand in creating, helping or doing anything. Praying to them yields no results and no peace of heart or mind

2. recalling and mentioning the might of Allah and his creations and holiness through mentioning miracles throughout ages .

3. Allah sees as all as equals and only our deeds and taqwa could make us better than each other therefore the need for any medium to worship through is nullified

Approaching idolators by narrating the story of the prophet Ibraheem and what he did with his townspeople who worshiped idols, in which he demolished their idols, except the largest idol, so that he could explain to them what happened. Which clearly shows how the idols are neither beneficial nor harmful to the people.

# data[].attributes.body
In regards to people who believe that idol worshipping will result in directly communicating with Allah, we would address them through these points:

We would let them know that Allah has clearly stated that he will be worshipped alone and that he seeks no help from any partner or creation.

Allah’s love for us goes beyond the love of a mother and he is always available to listen to our thoughts and prayers. Therefore, no third party is required to communicate directly with him on our behalf.

He’s closer to our us than our own veins, hence he’s the only one capable to make our prayers a reality. Idols are objects which aren’t able to act on what we convey to then.

We will illustrate a real-life scenario in which two individuals engage in a dispute, characterized by direct confrontation rather than the involvement of a third party to mediate.

We’d also provide evidence from the Quran idols cannot judge (40:20), idols cannot create anything and are powerless (13:16, 46:4), and idols do not bring us closer to God (39:3). We learn that idolaters follow conjecture (6:148) and that idolaters deny their idol worship — now & on the Day of Judgment (6:22-24).

Allah Oneness Persuasive Argument - Mahra Al Hosani

Allah all mighty is the one true god, creator of all. He has wielded the vast galaxies, creations, and humanity alone. Hence, it is not logical for you to practice polytheism in hopes of becoming closer to Allah. The Quran has many viable prayers and rituals to grow closer to god. You can practice both obligated and non-mandatory prayers. As well as reciting the Quran, fasting, giving aid, committing kind acts, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Idols are basically objects that cannot do anything, you believe that there is one god, he is the all mighty that is capable of anything, so how can you worship these objects that does not benefit you in any way possible. If Allah is capable of creating everything from heavens to earth, then why would he need the help of objects made by humans?

# data[].attributes.body
If Allaah is the lord, the all-mighty, why does he need help, especially from objects made from stone and copper by humans?

The idols cant speak for themselves.

If humans can make their lord using stones, this makes human more powerful bcuz they are the ones who made it

The practice of polytheism or associating idols with Allah is contradicting with a core belief of islam. When approaching such a person, we need to follow the teachings of islam. When you want to advise someone who does that you will be required to have a great knowledge of tawhid, using verses from the Quran or Hadith and know how to engage properly in a dialogue maintaining respect and patience.

As the descendants of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his son Prophet Ismael (AS), the infidels believed in Allah (SWT) as their Creator and their Lord, they also believed that having a physical representation of God in the form of stone idols allowed them to worship better and become closer to Allah (SWT). This contradiction is clear to see, as the first message of the previous scriptures were all consistent in that Allah is our Lord and he must be alone worshipped, but over time they reverted back to idolatry.
