Indeed we are not created to worship Allah as an ending target, worshiping is only a mean, a path toward our ending goal. Note the third group in the following quotation: > قال اميرالمؤمنين عليه السلام: إنّقوماً عبدوا الله رغبةً فتلك عبادة > التّجار وإنّ قوماً عبدوا الله رهْبةً فتلك عبادة العبيد وإنّ قوْماً > عبدوا الله شُكراً فتلك عبادة الأحرار --نهج البلاغه/ حكمت ۲۳۷ > > Imam Ali --peace be upon him-- has stated: [Among those who worship Allah] > one group worships Allah in hope [of profit], such is the worship of > traders; and another group worships Allah out of fear [from His > Wrath], such is the worship of slaves; and yet another group of people > worships Allah out of gratitude, such is the worship of free noble > men. [Nahj al-Balaghah, short saying #237]
