There is a verse in Quran saying God created humans to worship Him.
But, God does not need our worship. Does it mean worship is a middle goal to humans so that they be trained for a higher goal?
What is the final goal of creating humans and nature and all things?
The verse is:

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

HE does not want,,,,we worship

, God does not need our worship, nor has he ever asked for man to worship Him

God wants it because He is the greatest. It is appropriate for the wishes of both those who are small and those who are big that the young should show respect to the old. The fact that human beings have needed to worship superhuman forces since the time of Hazrat Adam even when they deviated is clear evidence for that reality. To worship is an indication of both respect and love. It is quite natural and sensible for God, who creates people out of nothing, who gives them thousands of bounties, who loves them and who shows His love through revelation and inspiration, to ask His slaves to worship Him, which is a manifestation of both love and respect

God never says to worship it....but it only says to worship ourselves as everyone is a part of it...........
