Do prayer and truthfulness, being attributes of Allah, constitute a Taghut if a man worships them?

Prayer is an act of worship, but it is not worshipped itself. Sincerity is a quality, but it is not worshipped on its own. The attributes of Allah are inherent in Him. The servant is commanded to worship Allah because of the perfection of His attributes. One must refrain from over-elaborate questions, for their abundance can lead to destruction. Al-Awza'i said: "Indeed, when Allah wishes to deprive His servant of the blessing of knowledge, He casts intricate questions upon his tongue, and I have found them to be the least knowledgeable of people."
