While mentioning the purpose of the human creation, Allah Almighty states in Part 27, Surah Az-Zariyaat, Ayah no. 56:

وَ مَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَ الْاِنْسَ اِلَّا لِیَعْبُدُوْنِ(۵۶)

Translation from Quran: And I have created jinns and human beings, only for this that they should worship Me.

[Translation from Quran (Kanz-ul-Iman)](Part. 27, Surah Az-Zariyat, Ayah 56)

O devotees of the Holy Rasool! This blessed Ayah clearly mentions that humans and jinns have been created to worship Allah Almighty. And when our Lord and Creator, Allah Almighty, Has told us the purpose of our creation, then it is also obligatory upon us to engage ourselves in attaining this goal and worship Allah Almighty abundantly. Moreover, it is also evident that as we have been commanded to worship, at the same time, we have also been guided in terms of how to perform the worship. Therefore, we should learn how to perform worship and do so accordingly. For example, whether we are to offer Fard Salah or Nafl Salah, we will have to fulfil all its requirements. If we want to perform worship through the recitation of the Holy Quran, then we will have to learn how to recite the Holy Quran correctly. If we are to perform the Fard Hajj, then we will have to learn the important rulings of Hajj. In case Zakah is Fard upon us, then we will have to learn the rulings of Zakah.

If we study the Seerah of the righteous predecessors, then we will come to know that:

 ٭ All righteous people of Allah Almighty had a deep yearning for worship and ascetic practices.

 ٭ Their (righteous people’s) days and nights were spent in worshipping and obedience.

٭ Their favourite activity was to spend their entire time in the remembrance of Allah Almighty. You will find both aspects, acquiring
