Q: When the Quraan say that Allah has created us for His worship only (something to the effect and I am not certain if there is such a ayaat), does this refer to His worship until we die, taste death, only in this world and not in jannah?
A: Ibaadat refers to His service and recognition. So His recognition will continue in Jannah as well insha-Allah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإنْسَ إِلا لِيَعْبُدُونِ أي: إنما خلقتهم لآمرهم بعبادتي، لا لاحتياجي إليهم ... وقال ابن جُرَيْج: إلا ليعرفون (تفسير ابن كثير 4/238)
