Why did Daniel refused to worship Babylonian gods and was thrown in the lions' den?

Daniel refused to worship Babylonian gods because he remained faithful to his own religious beliefs and the commandments of his God, which prohibited idol worship. When a decree was issued that required all people to worship the king and his gods, Daniel continued to pray to God openly, defying the law. This act of defiance led to his arrest and subsequent punishment in the lions' den, as the king was bound by the law to carry out the sentence. Daniel’s unwavering faith ultimately led to his miraculous survival, demonstrating his devotion and the power of his God.
