Allâh – did not create the creatures but to worship Him

[AbuHossam]

Our Lord Almighty further explained that He did not create the creatures but to worship Him. In this regard, He the most Glorified and Exalted, said,

( وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ )

And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone) [Ad-Dhariyaat: 56].

Hence, the worship of Allâh is the way to all good and success in this world and the hereafter.

The essence of worship as Ibn Taymiyyah, May Allâh the Almighty, bestow His mercy upon him, said, "Is to do everything that Allâh loves and is pleased with, with respect to both outward and inward words and deeds "
