If Jesus is worshiped as God, then Daniel must also be God since King Nebuchadnezzar worshiped him.

Muslims often cite the passage in Daniel where King Nebuchadnezzar falls prostrate before Daniel and offers sacrifices, suggesting that this implies Daniel's divinity. However, this interpretation overlooks the context of the event. First, it is essential to recognize that the act of worship in this instance comes from a pagan king who believed in the divinity of human rulers, a common practice in ancient Babylon. This does not validate Daniel's status as God but rather highlights the misunderstanding of divine authority prevalent among pagans. Moreover, the Bible is a historical record that documents various events, including those that are not condoned by God. Just because a human is worshiped in a narrative does not mean that the Bible endorses such worship. The Scriptures consistently affirm that worship is due to God alone, and the eventual realization of Nebuchadnezzar that Yahweh is the true God further supports this. Additionally, the progression of Nebuchadnezzar's understanding of God throughout the book of Daniel illustrates that his initial worship of Daniel was misguided. Over time, he comes to acknowledge the sovereignty of Yahweh, indicating that his earlier actions were not indicative of true worship but rather a reflection of his own misconceptions about divinity. Therefore, the argument that Daniel's worship equates him with Jesus fails to hold when examined closely within its biblical context.
