Why Allah has created us?
(Muhammad Rafique Etesame, Ahmedpureast)
This is a unique question raises in the minds and people become confuse over it due to not having
A satisfactory answer about it, but the Holy Quran makes it clear saying.” And [tell them that] I have not created the invisible beings and men to any end other than that they may [know and] worship Me but withal,] no sustenance do I ever demand of them, nor do I demand that they feed Me, verily, God Himself is the Provider of all sustenance, the Lord of all might, the Eternal! ( Az-Zariyat (The Winds that Scatter) 51:57.
Now the question is: how can one do worship of Allah because He is invisible and one cannot know the proper and authentic method of worship?
So, for it, Allah Almighty sent His holy Messengers PBU them and they guided their ummah, by setting up a good example practically. The holy Quran reveals,”
VERILY, in the Apostle of God you have a good example for everyone who looks forward [with hope and awe] to God and the Last Day, and remembers God unceasingly” Al-Ahzab (The Confederates) 33:21
The holy Prophet PBUH passed 23 years of his life in his people and practically presented a good example acting upon Allah’s commands and not mere oral preaching and guided his Ummah in every walk of life.
For example, he was an I mam of the , Masjade Nabvi, and led five daily prayers to the companions may God be pleased with them, he was a Supreme Commander of Is,lamic Army, a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, (that was in ,Nabvi Mosque, at that time) and he was a business man, a good father,
And a lovely husband etc.
So, anyone who follows his “ uswa-e- hasana,” will be the successful one forever.
But usually, the man passes his life in a, triangle, as”(1) first he wakes up early in the morning from his bed and after fulfilling his necessary needs, he goes to his daily work or business.
(2) then he returns back to his home at evening.
(3) takes his dinner, and gets busy in his pass-time if any, and goes to bed to meet his spouse for
sexual deeds and then goes to sleep, and then, again it is morning!
During this procedure, he does not think about his real purpose of life or why he was created and gives full attention to make better his worldly life and so on.
While, according to Islamic point of view, after passing this short and temporary life, there is another
long and everlasting life having no end in the Hereafter. And the one whoever is successful in that life,
is the really successful, and who is a fail or one, is the really fail or in that life.
The holy Quran reveals about it,” Every human being is bound to taste death: but only on the Day of Resurrection will you be requited in full [for whatever you have done] - whereupon he that shall be drawn away from the fire and brought into paradise will indeed have gained a triumph: for the life of this world is nothing but an enjoyment of self-delusion.( (The Family of Imran) 3:185 ) ” And, “for, [if
they did, they would know that] the life of this world is nothing but a passing delight and a play - whereas, behold, the life in the hereafter is indeed the only [true] life: if they but knew this! ”( (The Spider) 29:64 )
So, the real Wiseman is that who fear Allah and prepare himself for the lie after death, may Allah give us ,taufeeq to do so, Amin
