PURPOSE OF LIFE
BY: FALAH ALAWI
To find a purpose of life and do
things accordingly to that what you have found, should give you benefit in
every aspect, be it moral, ethical, liable, practical, and even understandable
that your actions will have positive and collective reactions on this earth
after you’re gone. In this life finding a purpose is not hard and neither easy
and if you ask how is that possible since many people end up dying during
finding this purpose. The only way this can be answered is by knowing there is
no escape from death and when death will come, it will come unannounced. So,
anything that you’re trying to find or getting towards at you’re also limiting
your life span. Human life being limited in this world will always have limited
desires and nothing that he thinks will exceed the point towards knowing that,
this is first thing humans should know. Secondly, life of any human coming in
this world was not an accident. If you don’t even think from a religious point
of view, you will know that the person you’ve been hanging out with or your
brother, sister, your parents, they all are connected and brings out your
personality, either in a positive way or negative, but know that every human
has a brain to decide which path to follow and this fork in the road in not
worst of a calamity than that of death.
I have
lived long enough to come to this maturity that life without religion or
without believing in GOD/ALLAH/LORD in any way will leave a human living a life
without purpose, or his purpose will always be limited within the boundaries of
this life.
Muslims believing in the hereafter, believing in a purpose
that if they do good, will have good and who do bad will get bad that today
scientifically proven by Newton’s
third law of motion. But as the life span of humans is limited so is the life
of this world and it will one day perish and all that left will be our actions
that will be given to us on the Day Of Judgment.
We have
given a picture of life how to live it and make it towards the end of it and
the picture is as clear as day, that if we believe in ourselves and we trace it
well and live it as exactly as the last Prophet (Peace and Blessings Be Upon
Him) did, we will surely reach to the point where there is no doubt. And if
even after looking at the picture instead make it our own, that will make us
our own god that will make us fall in the pit that we were not suppose to be
from. But we willed and so the reaction will.
Surah Asr,
is such a beautiful Surah that if we concentrate our lives on just this surah
and put our actions in it, we will make our life worth living and happily dying
to meet our Creator (ALLAH).
This is
what purpose of life is all about since man is in loss of time and death is
inevitable. Death will come like it came to the people before us and to before
them.
In the Holy Quran (Surah Baqarah Verse 28):
In the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Imran Verse 185):
In the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Anbiya Verse 35):
And death is like sleeping, where
the conscious is alive and awake but the soul is out. We will know when we will
be getting buried and could not scream out. When the slap is closed, that is
the end and people will walk away but what will happen to us in the grave, the
questions will start. While the people who we left behind; after a period of
time, when the grieving has ended. They will start their normal routine till
the day comes and they will die.
Our lives
are based on deeds, and we will be judged accordingly on the Day of Judgment
and we will be distributed either among the people of paradise or the hell
fire. May Allah have mercy on us and guide us to the right path which Allah
loves and give us courage to follow the Last Prophet Muhammad on whom this
beautiful book “Al-Qur’an” was revealed and is still intact as it was before
till the Day of Judgment.
