Purpose of Life

Now a days , we are so much engaged in our daily life routines of business , job household entertainment fun that we do not have time to think about life objectively so that we could know the truth about this world and purpose behind our creation.
If you put the basic fundamental question to anyone that “What is the purpose of Life?”. There will be lot of answers. But no one will tell you what they have concluded from their observations but they will tell you that ‘What my father said about it’ or what my teacher said about it’ and so on and so forth.
Now if you put the questions like why do we eat? Why do we work? , the answers will be appropriate like we eat to sustain our life; we work to support us and our families. The answers are appropriate and more or less similar because they are the necessities of all human beings.
Now ask “What is the purpose of Life?” Answers will be different from different people. It is because we are confused. We really don’t know. Instead of saying, we really don’t know, we give any answer which we are programmed to give.
Let’s give a thought! Are we here in this world only to eat, sleep, wear good cloths, and get worldly knowledge and to become officers and acquire worldly wealth? Isn’t there any wisdom behind the creation of ours and that of this beautiful universe?
Here I would like to mention a few verses from the Holy Quran that address this subject. We seek the protection of Allah from every evil thing. Allah mentions to us in the Holy Quran,
"And to Allah 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 Allah 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."
Al-Quran 3:189:191

On seeing a big building, large ship, an aero plane, satellite, computer, we at once think that how incredible is it. Yet these are the things made by human beings. So what about the human body with its complex and error free system? Just think about it?
Think about the brain its complexity and its accuracy. This is the brain which made all the above mentioned buildings, computers, aero planes, satellite system , dam’s , power stations , etc. Just think about the brain and who made that?
Think about the creation of our heart, liver, kidneys, eyes and their working. How precise? Think about these and who created them? Who mastered their design? Think about these and think about the whole universe. Think about the perfection of this universe.
Did all of this synchronization, perfection happened by chance? No of course not. To think that it all happened by chance is complete foolishness.
In the least, it indicates that however it came to exist-it exists beyond the realm of human capability. We will all agree to that. The Being, The Almighty Power, God, The Creator who has the knowledge to design and proportion created all of this and is responsible for maintaining it. HE is the only one that deserves praise and gratitude.
If I were to give you five hundred Rupees for nothing but just to read this article. You would at least say Thank You very much. So what about your eyes, your kidney, your heart, your legs your hands, your children your darling spouse and your life. Who gave all of that? Is He not worthy of Praise and Thanks? Is he not worthy of Worship (Ibadah) and recognition?
That is the purpose and goal of this life and about which Allah said in Quran
"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.”
Al-Quran 51:56

So, the purpose of life is evident. It is to recognize the Creator and to be grateful to Him. It is to worship him and to obey the laws which He is determined us through His Noble Book Quran and His beloved Messenger.
