Know -may Allah have mercy on you- that Islam is based upon negation and affirmation. Your affirmation is not useful until it is accompanied by negation.

From our Shahadah i.e La ilaha illa Allah (No deity has right to worship except Allah). It is clear that worship must be singled out for Allah alone and for nothing else.
Several verses in the Quran have explained this basic foundation but many people are negligent of this.

Ponder over the following verses:
Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 256:

لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
(English - Mohsin Khan)

Imam Ibnul Qoyyim explains the meaning of taghut to be anything that makes one transgress the bounds of Allah. This could be one's wealth, children, parents, friends, work etc. Anything that makes one go beyond the bounds of Allah is a taghut. (see fathul Majeed Sharh kitaab Tawheed).
Allah says:

Surah Az-Zukhruf, Verse 26-27:
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ إِنَّنِي بَرَاءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ

And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said to his father and his people: "Verily, I am innocent of what you worship,
إِلَّا الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي فَإِنَّهُ سَيَهْدِينِ

"Except Him (i.e. I worship none but Allah Alone) Who did create me, and verily, He will guide me."

(English - Mohsin Khan)
via iQuran

The above verses explain the obligation of negating the right to worship from anyone or anything just as it states the obligation of affirming it for Allah.
A person cannot be said to be a believer -at all- till he negates the right to worship from every person or thing and affirms it for Allah alone.

Surah Al-Bayyina, Verse 5:
وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ

And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat: and that is the right religion.
(English - Mohsin Khan)

These are just a few among many verses that command the believer to worship Allah alone and associate no partner with Him. This is the foundation upon which our Religion is based. NEGATION AND AFFIRMATION!

This is the Tawheed of Islam. It is the primary reason why the Messengers were sent and the books were revealed.

Allahu akbar
