What is the philosophy behind the creation of human being and Jinn?

SHAFAQNA – Allah (SWT) in Ayah 56 of Surah Al-Dhariat says: “I have only created Jinns and human beings in order that they worship Me.” Although the philosophy of all creation is for the worship of God but as is stressed in the above Ayah by Allah (SWT) the human being and Jinn have the power of will and can choose between divine belief and disbelief and between giving thanks or rebellion as mentioned in Ayah 29 of Surah Al-Kahf: “Say, truth comes from your God. Let the one who wishes to, believe and let the one who wishes to disbelieve”; and Ayah 3 of Surah says: “We have guided him on the right path, whether he is thankful or thankless.”
