Allah ﷻ says

*أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ عَبَثًۭا* 

_Did you think that We had  created you uselessly,_

Meaning 'did you think that you were created in vain, with no purpose, with nothing required of you and no wisdom on Our part' 

"in play'' means to play and amuse yourselves, like the animals were created, who have no reward or punishment. We have been created to worship Allah ﷻ and carry out His commands.

*وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ*

_and that you would not be brought back to Us_

[23:115]

_

This is as Allah ﷻ says:

*أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى*

_Does man think that he will be left neglected_

[75:36]

_

*فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۖ*

_So Exalted be Allah, the True King._

means, sanctified be He above the idea that He should create anything in vain, for He is the True King Who is far above doing such a thing.

*لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْكَرِيمِ*

_So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne._

[23:116]

_

You weren't created except to worship Allah ﷻ, so then what will become of us when we prioritise over Allah ﷻ and His worship? 

_

As Allah ﷻ says 

*وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ*

 

_And I did not create Jinn and man except to worship me_

[51:56]

_

So the next time you neglect Fajr in Jama'ah,

The next time you neglect Isha in Jama'ah, 

The next time you neglect your recitation of Qur'an,

Neglect your Tawbah, your Shukr of Allah ﷻ.

_

Remember that Allah ﷻ doesn't need your Ibadah, and that you need Him.

_

Remember that Allah ﷻ is al Khaliq and Al Musawwir, and He could take away your legs and eyes just as easily as you misused them.

Remember Allah ﷻ is Al Raziq and could cause you to lose your beloved job which makes you miss Salah !

_

Remember that Allah ﷻ is Muqallib al Qulub, and could replace you as a muslim before you know it.

_

Wallahi, our purpose in life is to worship Allah alone and we will die and we will be returned to Allah ﷻ one day.
