Answer:
What is the mission of life?
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Dear and Beloved Brother, the Glorious Book of Guidance
revealed by the Lord Creator of the Worlds, The Al-Quran answers each and every
one of the questions which you have asked in absolute and crystal clear
details! It is absolutely imperative
that every person who has been bestowed with intelligence must address these
all-important questions you have asked in his life-time; and the absolutely
best and only way to address all these questions is to read the Glorious Quran
which our Merciful Lord has revealed for the guidance of mankind.
Allah is our witness, if we were to address and explain in
detail each and every one of these all-important questions of creation, of life
and of the Hereafter you have asked, it would require a volume of books to be
written! Such is the importance of these
questions; and the only way to address these questions is to read the Glorious
Quran, for it leaves no questions unanswered!
As it would be almost impossible for us to give you
complete details and do justice to the very important questions you have asked
in this article, we will address each of your questions in brief for the sake
of brevity. If you need further details
or guidance on any aspect of these very important questions, we would be
honored to address them for you in light of the guidance of the Quran and the
Sunnah.
Your Question: i am really confused that why i am here in
this world , why God has created me,
Before addressing the question why Allah created mankind,
one needs to understand why Allah Subhanah created the heavens and the earth
and everything in between:
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 15 Surah
Hijr verses 55-56:
85 We created not the heavens the earth and
all between them but for Just Ends. And
the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious
forgiveness.
86 For verily it is thy Lord Who is the
Master-Creator, Knowing all things.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 30 Surah
Rome verse 8:
8 Do they not reflect in their own minds?
Not but for Just Ends and for a term appointed did Allah create the heavens and
the earth and all between them: yet are there truly many among men who deny the
meeting with their Lord (at the Resurrection)!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah
Anbiya verses 16-19:
16 Not for (idle) sport did We create the
heavens and the earth and all that is between!
17 If it had been Our wish to take (just) a
pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us if We
would (ever) do (such a thing)!
18 Nay We hurl the Truth against falsehood
and it knocks out its brain and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! Woe
be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us).
19 To Him belong all (creatures) in the
heavens and on earth.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 44 Surah
Dukhan verses 38-40:
38 We created not the heavens the earth and
all between them merely in (idle) sport:
39 We created them not except for Just Ends:
but most of them do not understand.
40 Verily the Day of Sorting Out is the time
appointed for all of them!
It is evident from the above verses that the Majestic Lord
and Creator did not create everything in existence as a mere play or for idle
sport, but rather The All-Wise Creator created everything in Truth for a Just
End. The Majestic and Supreme Lord
Creator created everything in the heavens and the earth and subjected it to man
for a reason!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 14 Surah
Ibraheem verses 32-34:
32 It is Allah Who hath created the heavens
and the earth and sendeth down rain from the skies and with it bringeth out
fruits wherewith to feed you; it is He Who hath made the ships subject to you
that they may sail through the sea by His command; and the rivers (also) hath
He made subject to you.
33 And He hath made subject to you
the sun and the moon both diligently pursuing their courses: and the Night and
the Day hath He (also) made subject to you.
34 And He giveth you of all that ye ask
for. But if ye count the favors of Allah
never will ye be able to number them: verily man is given up to injustice and
ingratitude.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah
Nahl verse 12:
12 He has made subject to you
the Night and the Day; the Sun and the Moon; and the Stars are in subjection by
His Command: verily in this are Signs for men who are wise.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verses 65-66:
65 Seest thou not that Allah has made
subject to you (men) all that is on the earth and the ships that sail
through the sea by His command? He withholds the sky (rain) from falling on the
earth except by His leave: for Allah is Most Kind and Most Merciful to man.
66 It is He Who gave you life will cause you
to die and will again give you life: truly man is a most ungrateful creature!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 45 Surah
Jathiya verse 13:
13 And He has subjected to you as from Him all that is in the heavens and on earth: behold in that
are Signs indeed for those who reflect.
The Supreme, Majestic, All-Wise and All-Knowing Creator
created everything in existence and subjected the entire creation to man! The sun, the moon, the winds, the rains, the animals,
the vegetation, absolutely everything in creation is subjected to man for a
reason!
So now we come to your very very important question: Why
did the Lord create man?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 67 Surah
Mulk verses 1-2:
1 Blessed be He in Whose Hands is Dominion:
and He over all things Hath Power.
2 He Who created Death and Life that He may
TEST which of you is best in deed: and He is the
Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving
Thus, the Quran guides that the Supreme and Majestic Lord
created everything in existence, and subjected His complete creation to serve
His best creation (man); and thus involved mankind to a simple test.
And what exactly is this ‘test’?
The All-Knowing, All-Wise Lord bestowed two things upon
His best creation (ie. mankind) which He did not bestow upon any in His Supreme
Creation, and thus put mankind to a test:
Intelligence or the Power of Reasoning
A ‘free will’ for a limited period of one life-time to
choose whatever path one wishes to live his life.
Whoever amongst man studies and ponders over the
innumerable wonders and Signs in the various creations of the Majestic Lord,
and uses his bestowed intelligence and power of reasoning to understand his
mission of creation, recognize His Supreme Lord and Creator, and of his own
‘free will’ chooses to submit his will to the Will of his Creator, and chooses
to live his life in accordance with the guidance of his Creator, passes the
test of life and is promised the Eternal Mercy, Grace, and Rewards of Allah
Subhanah.
And whoever amongst man uses his bestowed intelligence and
power of reasoning to do everything else but does not recognize or denies his
Supreme Creator, refuses to submit his will to the Will of His Creator, and of
his own ‘free will’ chooses to live his life in accordance with any guidance
other than that of His Supreme Creator, miserably fails the test of life and
will have a severe accounting in the Presence of His All-Mighty and Majestic
Lord on an Inevitable Day.
Thus my dear and beloved brother in Islam, the one and
only reason or wisdom behind all the supreme creation of the Majestic and
Supreme Lord is to provide the tools to enable His best creation (ie. mankind)
to fulfill this simple test of life: utilize the bestowed intelligence,
recognize the Lord; and of one’s own bestowed ‘free will’ submit that will to
the Will of the Lord!
Your Question: what will happen if i got the Janat on the
day of judgement
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 83 Surah
Mutaffefeen verses 22-36:
22 Truly the Righteous (in
23 On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command
a sight (of all things):
24 Thou wilt recognize in their Faces the
beaming brightness of Bliss.
25 Their thirst will be slaked with Pure
Wine sealed:
26 The seal thereof will be Musk: and for
this let those aspire who have aspirations:
27 With it will be (given) a mixture of
Tasnim:
28 A spring from (the waters) whereof drink
those Nearest to Allah.
29 Those in sin used to laugh at those who
believed
30 And whenever they passed by them used to
wink at each other (in mockery);
31 And when they returned to their own
people they would return jesting;
32 And whenever they saw them they would say
"Behold! these are the people truly astray!"
33 But they had not been sent as Keepers over
them!
34 But on this Day the Believers will laugh
at the Unbelievers.
35 On Thrones (of Dignity) They will command
(a sight) (of all things).
36 Will not the Unbelievers have been paid
back for what they did?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 88 Surah
Ghashiya verses 8-16:
8 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful.
9 Pleased with their Striving
10 In a Garden on high
11 Where they shall hear no (word) of
vanity:
12 Therein will be a bubbling spring:
13 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity)
raised on high.
14 Goblets placed (ready).
15 And Cushions set in rows
16 And rich carpets (All) spread out.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 56 Surah
Waqiah verses 10-24:
10 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be
Foremost (in the Hereafter).
11 These will be those Nearest to Allah:
12 In Gardens of Bliss:
13 A number of people from those of old
14 And a few from those of later times.
15 (They will be) on Thrones encrusted (with
gold and precious stones).
16 Reclining on them facing each other.
17 Round about them will (serve) youths of
perpetual (freshness).
18 With goblets (shining) beakers and cups
(filled) out of clear-flowing fountains:
19 No after-ache will they receive therefrom
nor will they suffer intoxication:
20 And with fruits any that they may select;
21 And the flesh of fowls any that they may
desire.
22 And (there will be) Companions with
beautiful big and lustrous eyes--
23 Like unto Pearls well-guarded.
24 A Reward for the Deeds of their past
(Life).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 76 Surah
Dhahr verses 13-22:
13 (The dwellers of
14 And the shades of the (Garden) will come
low over them and the bunches (of fruit) there will hang low in humility.
15 And amongst them will be passed round
vessels of silver and goblets of crystal
16 Crystal-clear made of silver: they will
determine the measure thereof (according to their wishes).
17 And they will be given to drink there of
a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil
18 A fountain there called Salsabil.
19 And round about them will (serve) youths
of perpetual (freshness): if thou seest them thou wouldst think them scattered
Pearls.
20 And wherever thou lookest there thou wilt
see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
21 Upon them will be green Garments of fine
silk and heavy brocade and they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and
their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy.
22 "Verily this is a Reward for you and
your Endeavor is accepted and recognized."
The main principle,
blessing, bounty, and promise of
our Merciful and Gracious Lord is that whoever enters the
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah
Qaaf verse 35:
There they (the men and women of
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah
Furqan verses 15-16:
As them,
“Is this (the Fire) better, or
the everlasting gardens which have been promised to the God-fearing, righteous people (men and women)?”. That will be the recompense of their good
deeds and the final destination of their journey, wherein, they will get everything they desire, and wherein they will dwell forever. This is a promise which your Lord has taken
upon Himself to fulfill.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.303 Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Prophet (saws) said, "Allah, High
and Exalted He is, Says, 'I have prepared for My pious worshipers (in Paradise)
such things as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has
ever thought of. All that is reserved, besides which, all that you have seen,
is nothing." Then he (saws) recited: "No soul knows what is kept hidden (in reserve)
for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do." (Quran 32.17)
Your Question: You know that there are many people in this
world who dont follow any religion.. They don`t believe in God ...
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 76 Surah
Dhahr verses 2-3:
2 Verily We created man from a drop of
mingled sperm in order to test him: so We gave him (the gifts) of Hearing and
Sight.
3 We showed him the Way: whether he
be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will).
The All-Knowing, All-Wise Lord created everything in
existence, subjected the complete creation to His best creation (ie. mankind)
and involved mankind to the test of life. The precise wisdom behind giving man
intelligence and the power of reasoning, and a ‘free will’ for a period of one
life on earth is to see who amongst mankind of his own ‘free will’ believes in
His Lord, submits to Him, and is grateful for His Innumerable Favors; and who
amongst mankind denies Him and is thus ungrateful to his Supreme and Majestic
Lord.
Because the All-Wise Lord has subjected man to a test, He
gave His Signs and in His Sublime Mercy and Grace sent His Messengers and His
Messages to guide mankind unto the path that leads to His Mercy, making clear
the Rewards for those who of their own ‘free will’ choose to strive to pass the
test, and warn those who of their own ‘free will’ choose to be deluded by the
transient attractions of this worldly life and thus fail the test!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 10 Surah
Yunus verses 40-44: Some of these people will believe in (The
Quran), and others will not. Your Lord knows these mischief-makers very
well indeed. If these people deny
you, say to them: “I am responsible for
my deeds and you are for yours. You are
not accountable for what I do, nor am I for
what you do.” There are many among them
who hear what you say, but will you make
the deaf to listen to you, even though
they be incapable of understanding this?
Then there are many others among them who see you. But will you show the way to the blind, even though they be bereft of sight? The fact is that Allah does not in any way
wrong the people, but they wronged
themselves!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah
Kahf verse 1-3: All praise is for Allah Alone,
Who has sent down this Book to His Servant (Mohamed (saws), and assigned nothing crooked to it. This Book says everything directly, so that he may warn the people of the severe
chastisement of Allah and give good news to the believers, who do righteous deeds, that they will have an excellent reward.
It is in the basic nature of any test, that some will
strive to pass it, and some will not strive and will thus fail it! Indeed there are a multitude of people on
this earth who of their own ‘free will’ have chosen to delude themselves with
the frivolous attractions of this short and transient worldly life, and have
chosen not to utilize their bestowed intelligence to ask or answer the
questions which you have asked and strive to determine their mission of
life!
Those alone who chose to strive to ask these all-important
questions and determine one’s true mission of life, those alone who chose to
strive to get them answered in light of the Guidance revealed by their Lord,
and those alone who subsequently believed and strove to do righteous good deeds
in accordance with the revealed Guidance of their Lord will pass the test of
life laid upon mankind by their Supreme and Majestic Lord.
Those who chose to disregard the test of life, chose to
delude themselves with the trivial pleasures of this short and transient
worldly life, chose to give more importance to the life of this world and
disregard their eternal and everlasting life of the Hereafter, and of their own
‘free will’ chose to deny and reject the Guidance of their All-Mighty Lord will
miserably fail the test of life laid upon them by their Supreme and Majestic
Creator!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 79 Surah
Naziaat verses 34-41:
34 Therefore when there comes the Great
Overwhelming (Event, ie. The Day of Judgment!)
35 The Day when Man shall remember (all)
that he strove for
36 And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full
view for (all) to see
37 Then for such as had transgressed all
bounds
38 And had preferred the life of this world
39 The Abode will be Hell-Fire;
40 And for such as had entertained the fear
of standing before their Lord's (tribunal), and had restrained (their) soul
from Lower Desires
41 Their abode will be the Garden (of
Thus in conclusion, on the Inevitable Day when the Results
of the Test are declared, those who of their own ‘free will’ chose to believe
in their Creator and live their life according to His Will will receive their
promised rewards; and those who of their own ‘free will’ chose to deny their
Creator, or chose to worship other gods with the Creator, and lived their lives
according to their own will or according to the will of any other than the Will
of their Creator, will receive their due in the Presence of the Lord Who
Created them and everything that exists in creation!
