Non-believers are unable to provide any convincing reason for the existence of this universe or of human life.<\/span><\/strong> People who believe there is a Creator assume that creation occurred by His will.\u00a0 But in a world where everything is shown to have a purpose, it is natural for a human being to wonder about the purpose of his own creation.\u00a0 One is surely justified in expecting the Creator who put us on this earth to inform us why He did so and what He expects of us.<\/p>\n The Qur\u2019an informs us that He did just that.\u00a0 It says God created us for a test here on earth, conveying His words: As mentioned previously, most of creation is “muslim” in that it is programmed to obey the physical laws set by God<\/strong><\/span>, and this is why the universe functions with balanced equilibrium.\u00a0 Man, however, was given a free will and the ability to either obey or disobey.\u00a0 But God will not allow His universal balance to be upset indefinitely by defiant, corrupt and sinful people, so He only grants human beings a measure of freedom in a temporary world.\u00a0 The scheme of birth, development, decline and death provides each with the opportunity to prove to himself without a doubt what he will deserve on the Day of Judgement, which God created for the manifestation of His ultimate justice.<\/p>\n This life is very meaningful and purposeful to the believing Muslim because he realizes that it will determine his outcome and permanent position in the next life.\u00a0 He lives to earn the approval of his Creator in preparation for the final return to Him.<\/p>\n We all recognize that people make things to perform specific functions for them, in other words, to serve them.\u00a0 God has made us to serve Him, but with one major difference; it is not for the benefit of the Creator Himself but for the benefit of us, His creation.\u00a0 The purpose of our existence is thus stated in the Qur\u2019an:<\/p>\n “I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” [51:56]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n But man’s worship of God is not automatic like the vast majority of created beings but by his own choice and effort, and this is what entitles him to honor and reward.<\/p>\n “How should one worship God in order to fulfill that purpose?”\u00a0 This question can undoubtedly best be answered by Him.\u00a0 God has provided every element of His creation, living and inanimate, with guidance.\u00a0 We can thus expect that He would provide us with guidance as well.<\/span><\/strong> His revelation instructs humanity what to do, what to avoid, and the reason for it.\u00a0 It informs man what is expected of him, how to accomplish it, and the results of continual positive effort.\u00a0 Through Prophet Muhammad, God revealed to man the ways of worship suitable to his physical and psychological nature and individual talents, and in harmony with his particular role on the earth.\u00a0 These, in combination, are what enables him to fulfil the purpose of his creation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Reference: www.gainpeace.com \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Non-believers are unable to provide any convincing reason for the existence of this universe or of human life.

“Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?”[23:115-116]<\/strong><\/span>
A non-believer might decide that the objective of his life will be to collect wealth, obtain position or pursue pleasure to the greatest extent possible.\u00a0 But none of this will benefit him in the long run.\u00a0 According to His final scripture, God created man to test him with certain responsibilities [As stated in 18:7, 67:2 and 76:2].\u00a0\u00a0 He did not intend life on this earth to necessarily be comfortable or satisfying but merely a trial of limited duration, the punishment and rewards of which will be due in the Hereafter.<\/p>\n
