Purpose of our life in Islam

        WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF OUR CREATION?     

As we examine Allah’s creation, we will inevitably conclude that all things have a purpose. If we look at the delicate balance of our universe, as vast as it is, orchestrated in perfect synchronization. The human body and its various different processes like thought, movement, vision and its ability to heal itself. The earth and its countless number of life forms, various plants, vegetables and animals. The weather system, the seasons and the water cycle. Surely, these things have some purpose, more so for human beings.

Allah says: " I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worshipMe (alone)." Quran51:56 As the verse states , all things are in a state of submission to the Creator by following the natural laws that they have been created for. We were born in a state of submission, not in a state of sin as we had no choice in the matter and we will die in submission. Between these two time spans, man has been given the rational ability to choose to submit to his Creator.

Allah created mankind and made us responsible for our actions by granting us freedom of choice, and intelligence to discern right and wrong. • If there were no afterlife in which the good were rewarded and the bad punished, that would contradict the perfect justice of Allah. • Hence it is an absolute demand of justice that there be a Day of Judgement on which every soul is brought to account. “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me. I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.” [Quran 51:56-57]

Know for surety that we will all die and none of us knows when we’re going to die. Isn’t it time you submitted to your Lord?

A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever has fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfil his needs; whoever has brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever has screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him (of his faults) on the Day of Resurrection.
