quran:2:21 –

O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous -  

O people, of Mecca, worship, profess the oneness of, your Lord Who created you, made you when you were nothing, and created those that were before you; so that you may be fearful, of His punishment by worshipping Him (la‘alla, ‘so that’, is essentially an optative, but when spoken by God it denotes an affirmative),
القرآن:٢:٢١ –

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ  

{يا أيُّها الناس} أي أهل مكة {اعبدوا} وحِّدوا {ربَّكم الذي خلقكم} أنشأكم ولم تكونوا شيئاً {و} خلق {الذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون} بعبادته عقابَه، ولعل: في الأصل للترجي، وفي كلامه تعالى للتحقيق.
