I am afraid your post comes through as either naive or worse. Advaita never
says you can do worship with a sectarian theological agenda of any devatA
you like.

The concept of Ishta devatA is too well-known to reiterate here and it's so
obviously outside the framework of what Islam talks of in relation to Allah
etc. The worship of different devatAs is with a recognition of the Oneness
of all devatAs.
