"Nor did I create jinn and men, except to worship Me" (Qur’an 51:56).

(al-Baghawi Mujahid [ibn Jabr al-Makki (d. 104/722)], said this means ‘except to know Me’ which is a sound interpretation, since if He had not created them, they would not have known His existence and His oneness (Ma‘alam al-tanzil, 5.230).

Brother abu-Rayhan,
Hadhrat Qari Amir Hasan Sahab (DB) usually mentions in his sermons that some people have interpreted li-'aabidoon as li-'aarifoon. So

for chipping in to reveal who these people were.
Wassalam
