the sky, and everything else that exists will clearly see that Allah
created them.
Allah created human beings, and there is certainly a purpose
for this Creation. Allah reveals this truth in the Qur'an: "We did

not create heaven and earth and everything in between them as
a game" (Surat al-Anbiya', 16). This purpose is also revealed in
another verse: "I only created jinn and humanity to worship Me"
(Surat adh-Dhariyat, 56).
Humanity was created solely to serve Allah. But one must be
careful not to misunderstand: The fact that man is created to serve
Allah alone does not mean that it is enough to perform just some
religious observances. Indeed, in a hadith narrated by Abu

five daily prayers saying, "Five (daily) prayers and from one Friday
prayer to the (next) Friday prayer, and from Ramadhan to Ramadhan are
expiatious for the (sins) committed in between (their intervals) provided

one shuns the major sins." (Sahih Muslim, Book 2, Number 450)" The
five daily prayers and all other acts of worship such as fasting,
giving alms and covering the body are obligations that must be
punctiliously performed, and every believer is obliged to do these.
But being Allah's servant, which encompasses every aspect of life,
primarily means coming to know Allah by being close to Him and
living one's life according to His words. People who live such a
life, in other words serve Allah alone, enjoy the best, the most
content, and the happiest life possible. That is because all of
Allah's rules are very easy, for He created humanity in such a way

that it is part of human nature to take pleasure from serving Him.
This is elucidated as follows in the Qur'an:
