"I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me." Quraan 51:56وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ
الذاريات : ٥٦

Allah created mankind to obey Him by following the Message He sent to them through His Messengers.
The counterpart of the word "worship" in the original/Arabic verse is "Ya'bidoon/يعبدون" which means perform (plural form) "worship/I'baada/عبادة" which in Arabic means obedience and following the instructions. Hence, worship doesn't only mean rituals and supplications as commonly misconceived. In Islam any action you do or refrain from doing for the sake of Allah is considered a worship.
