In the verse 56 of Surah Dhariyat, the Holy Qur'an introduces the purpose of creation of jinn and man as the worship of God. The issue of this research is that Adliyyah, referring to this verse, believes that the purpose of God's creation of man is to worship God. But Fakhr Razi, in his interpretation of this verse, says: Because God is perfect and of no need, He has no purpose for His actions, therefore "lam" in "li ya`budun" is the that of end, and even if it be for purpose, it does not mean true purpose and only does virtually. In this article, we will examine Fakhr Razi's opinion with a descriptive-analytical and librarian method. The findings of the research show that God's purpose goes back to his actions, that is, God created jinn and man to grow and progress with servitude. Virtuality of purpose may not be agreed with also, because takeing the truth of the meaning of the sentence is preferred. As a result, Fakhr Razi's interpretation of the verse is not correct and it was based on his presupposition and theological basis. Keywords: Purpose of Creation, Jinn and Ins, Fakhr Razi, 56 Dhariyat, Meaning of Worship, Evolution of Nature, in Vain.
