What is the purpose of Life?
got inspired from ask.fm question, & this might be good i guess,
if i put it here,too.
so here's to u.
The Purpose of Life.
First, Life is Worship
In essence, the meaning of life in Islam is worship. The existence of this world is nothing but the worship of God. Meaning of worship, of course, understand the true worship, not only prayer, fasting, zakat, and hajj only, but worship/ pray in every aspect of our lives.
.
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me. (QS. 51:56)
.
second, Life is a Test
[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving - (QS. 67:2)
God will test human through the following things according to
"And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient," (QS. 2:155)
Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." (QS. 2:156)
.
Third: Life in the Hereafter is better than life in the world
Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return. (QS. 3:14)
And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life]. (QS.93:4)
.
Fourth, Life is Temporary
O my people! The life of this world is only temporary enjoyment, while the abode of hereafter is everlasting. (QS.40:39)
Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned. (QS.21:35)
.
That is the fourth core of understanding of the meaning of life described by the Qur'an. May our efforts to understand the meaning of life make our lives more valuable and rewarding.
Absolute Truth comes and is belonging to Allah Azza Wa Jalla, if there's any mistakes. it comes from my own mistake.
