The beauty of purpose in life

There is a reason behind the creation of this world and humankind. In the Quran, Allaah mentions the reason of creation of this world: “And to Allaah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is over all things competent. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding. Who remember Allaah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], “Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire..”(Quran 3: 189-191)

We believe that Allaah is the creator of the world and all things which are present in this world. Every human being thinks about the purpose of life, and why we are here? We will list Quranic verses that talk about our real purpose in life.

1.” And I created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)”. (Quran 51:56)

2. “I have not created men except that they should serve Me” (Quran, 51:56).

3. “[Remember] when your Lord extracted from the loins of Adam’s children their descendants and made them testify (saying): ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They said: ‘Yes, we testify to it.’ [This was] in case you say on the Day of Judgment: ‘We were unaware of this.’ Or you say: “It was our ancestors who worshipped others besides God and we are only their descendants. Will you then destroy us for what those falsifiers did?” (Quran, 7:172-173)

4. “Satan’s plan is to incite enmity and hatred among you with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and regular prayer. Will you not then abstain?” (Quran, 5:91)

The main reason for our creation is worship and serving Allaah! We should fulfill this purpose of life by following Allaah’s commands given in the Quran. Allaah has guided people to the purpose of life, that is worshipping Him and seeking His pleasure.
