Monism and Islam

Dear Sir, I read your article "Pantheistic Monism and Naturalism" in "Islam on-line" and think it is very logical and well written. I have the following query. Please favour me with an answer. If Islam teaches that the Creator and his Creation are separate and a Muslim worships Allah, knowing Allah to be absolutely separate from him, then is the Muslim not in practice worshiping an idol? For is not that which is separate from oneself an idol - beheld to be something outside of oneself? Only our own ultimate self we are not able to behold because there is no seer and seen dichotomy. When we reach that stage the worshiper becomes the worshiped. All duality ends. Does not idol worship end only when we reach this stage or awaken to this stage? Awaiting to hear from you. Regards K.
