Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56]
May Allah bless you. How is the realization of worship achieved through this verse, and also through the realization of the two testimonies? May Allah preserve you.

Answer:
Yes, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56]
He explained the wisdom, the Exalted explained the wisdom behind His creation of the jinn and mankind, which is that they should perform the worship of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. The reward and benefit of that return to them; so He commanded them with what benefits them. As for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, He is rich in Himself and in all the worlds. The benefit of worship returns to the worshipers themselves and the servants themselves. And whoever deviates from that, he only harms himself. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. Yes.
