What is the Purpose of life? (1 Viewer)

[Lailaa]

If one was to observe the human body, they would see that each organ has a purpose.For instance, the purpose of eyes: is to see. The purpose of a nose: is to smell. Even a single cell which has a specified purpose.

So if a minute cell has a specified purpose then what about the life of a human?
Is it to have fun? Is it to be happy? Have you thought…Why am I here? Where will I go after death?

Have you ever thought…
How this Tremendous Universe came into being? The thousands of galaxies, cosmos & celestial bodies in the outer universe all in order, perfection & balance…The earth & its flawless alternation of night & day, the PRECISE positioning of the sun, how if it was even ONE metre forward or one metre back, we would instantly roast…

Did all of this perfection just happen by chance? Consider This… If you were to walk in the middle of a desert & came across a rather intricate watch, would you ever suppose it appeared somehow by chance?

Reflect on the remarkable creation which surrounds you. Rationale begs the question: Is there not a maker of this Earth?

What do various religions say?
Christianity, Judaism and Islam say that there is a Creator who has Created all things including human beings; for a specific purpose: which is to follow His Commandments. Then after death depending on their actions they either enter Heaven or Hell.

Is Life After Death Rational?
If there is no life after death would it really make sense? Is it fair if a powerful criminal who gets away with everything, and a poor, yet honest, hardworking person end up in the same place?
No. Rationale suggests that death cannot be the end & there must be a life to come where all Justice will be served.

A Sincere Request…
Isn’t it time to start finding out exactly what the Purpose of Life is? Isn’t it time to search for the truth? On this pursuit,why not study the fastest growing religion: Islam? The REAL facts not what the media bombards you with…

What does Islam really teach? What attracts 1.5 billion people to it?The answer: Pure Monotheism - Worship in ONE God, who has NO partners.

Allah is the Arabic term for the word God. Muslims believe: There is no God But Allah, Who has no need of partners. God is the Creator, therefore He can NOT be like the creation. God is immortal, while humans are not. God cannot be both mortal and immortal.

The word for total surrender, submission, obedience, purity of heart and peace in the Arabic language is "Islam". Literally, “Muslim” means the “one who submits (to God)”.

The whole purpose of life is to worship the One True Almighty God under His Conditions, accepting His Will over our own. Can there be a more worthy purpose in life?

But Islam causes war and death right? How can this possibly be the religion of God? A religion does not necessarily represent the people who practice it. Islam is a complete way of life, teaching the best of ways, encouraging patience, cleanliness, kindness to parents … Islam liberates women & gives them equal status to men.

(This is contrary to regrettable practices in some Islamic societies where anti-Islamic cultural traditions have won over Islamic teachings.)

So…who is Muhammad?
Since the beginning of time, Allah has Sent Prophets and Messengers, to humans to convey the true Message. People disbelieve in them, even turning against them, and altering the religion over time, so out of God’s fairness He sends more. As Muslims, we believe in all the prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus… All the Prophets came with the same message - That God is ONE with No partners. Muhammad is the last of these Prophets.

To Muslims, Muhammad is the supreme example for all people, and the greatest of all Prophets because the results of his mission have brought the most people into the pure belief in One God.

The five pillars of Islam

These make up the basis of Islam.
Declaration of Faith: To believe that, There is no deity but God,, and Muhammad is the messenger of God. Through this declaration, the person announces faith in all of God’s Messengers.
Prayer: Muslims perform five daily prayers. Islamic Prayers are a direct link between the worshiper and God. There is no hierarchical authority or priesthood in Islam.
Almsgiving: This act purifies wealth by setting aside a portion for those in need. A Muslim who has the required wealth, must give 2.5% of it in charity annually. Fasting: To fast from dawn until sunset during the month of Ramadan encouraging self- discipline and generosity.
Pilgrimage: A Muslims must perform the pilgrimage to Makkah if they are physically and financially able.

The Holy Quran: The Greatest Miracle
The Qur’an is the book of Divine Guidance for mankind which covers all aspects of life. It is unchanged since the revelation to Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago and it is the final revelation from God. To Read the English translation: www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/

“Allah is the protector of those who have faith from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into the light” [Quran, 2:256]​

if it was even ONE metre forward or one metre back, we would instantly roast…

So if I was on the equator at noon and stood on an object one metre tall I would 'instantly roast'? Also the Earth's orbit is elliptical so its distance from the sun isn't constant... Also Pastafarianism is the best religion because its followers aren't told to fly planes into buildings.

This video is mocking Christianity but it can be applied to all religions.

Why must life have a purpose?

^yeah really gr8 m8

You atheists are determined to defer all moral responsibility for anything in your lives. You even assume that Christians do this because they apparently defer everything to the Bible. All you can do is point to physical, material realities and scamper away from anything remotely spiritual and personal like love.

Assuming a purpose highlights the egocentric nature of the Christian faith.
I bet you also think the human race is the pinnacle of the universe and the world revolves around a mystical 'god'.

You must face West when you pray. You must pray five times a day. You must visit Mecca once in your life. These pedantic requests are either designed by a really petty God, or by a human being, Mohammed off a whim really.

Islam is the natural way of life, allowing leniency but at the same time providing laws and rules to ensure routine and overall a purpose in life.

For example, there is actually a 180 degrees leniency when you are facing the Makkah to pray. Further, a Muslim is only recquired to visit Makkah if they are financially and physically and mentally able to do so.

If there was no road rules, how safe do you think our streets would be? In the same way, we need rules from God instructing us how to live life.
