Purpose Of Life
God, who is all-wise, didn't make us just to wander or fulfill our basic wants.
Instead, we're here for a higher purpose: to recognize and worship God alone, following His guidance for a fulfilling life.
God's wisdom shows in giving us life, knowledge of Him, and the freedom to choose. Islam teaches a balanced, respectful life, where worship isn't just praying but any action pleasing to God.
Making a living through honest work
*Quran 2:188 And do not consume one another's wealth by unjust means, nor offer it as bribes to the officials in order to consume part of other people's wealth illicitly, while you know.
Being respectful towards your parents
*Quran 17:23 Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and that you be good to your parents. If either of them or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them a word of disrespect, nor scold them, but say to them kind words.
Taking care of orphans
*Quran 2:220 About this world and the next. And they ask you about orphans. Say, "Improvement for them is best. And if you intermix with them, then they are your brethren." God knows the dishonest from the honest. Had God willed, He could have overburdened you. God is Mighty and Wise.
Speaking the truth
*Quran 9:19 O you who believe! Be conscious of God, and be with the sincere.
Treating neighbors with kindness
*Quran 4:36 Worship God, and ascribe no partners to Him, and be good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the neighbor next door, and the distant neighbor, and the close associate, and the traveler, and your servants. God does not love the arrogant showoff.
Standing up for justice
*Quran 4:58 God instructs you to give back things entrusted to you to their owners. And when you judge between people, judge with justice. God’s instructions to you are excellent. God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
Being patient and humble
*Quran 25:63 The servants of the Merciful are those who walk the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, “Peace.”
Caring for the environment
*Quran 7:56 And do not corrupt on earth after its reformation, and pray to Him with fear and hope. God’s mercy is close to the doers of good.
Contributing to the welfare of the community
*Quran 16:90 God commands justice, and goodness, and generosity towards relatives. And He forbids immorality, and injustice, and oppression. He advises you, so that you may take heed
Supporting one's family
*Quran 2:215 They ask you what they should give. Say, “Whatever charity you give is for the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the wayfarer. Whatever good you do, God is aware of it.
Being conscious of GOD
*Quran 33:70-71 O you who believe! Be conscious of God, and speak in a straightforward manner. He will rectify your conduct for you, and will forgive you your sins. Whoever obeys God and His Messenger has won a great victory.
Standing against injustice
*Quran 4:135 O you who believe! Stand firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even if against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, God takes care of both. So do not follow your desires, lest you swerve. If you deviate, or turn away—then God is Aware of what you do.
