Ooo, now I know why God has said: Those who makes an image will be Punished severely, because so that we won’t get deconcentrated during the prayer, and to focus clearly, maybe that’s why. And besides that, I had no intention of imitating God, because, simply, I have no power to imitate Him, and to me to imitate Him, it’s extremely impossible, to imitate Him, and I wound’d have any intention to imitate Him nor to pray anyone besides Him. I will always pray to God as Muslim do, and I would never ever pray to anyone except to Him.
