I am a Muslim and I have a question…

Hello! As a Muslim I’ve never known much about Judaism but for some time now I’ve been learning and have developed a great of appreciation for it as a pure monotheistic religion. I value Judaism as a source of information and would like to ask a question.

Maimonides’s 5th principle of faith states:

“I believe by complete faith that the Creator, blessed be His name, to Him alone is it fitting to make prayer and to another prayer shall not be made.”

What does prayer/lehitpallel and worship mean in Judaism? Is it possible to call and make prayer to other than the Creator and fall into idol worship, if it’s accompanied with the belief they are simply a interceding righteous saint that is not divine, and doesn’t hold any power independent from the Creator?
