Answer:
What is the mission
of islam
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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Respected brother in Islam, the truth is that it would
take a volume of books to truly do justice to your questions! What we can do here on our humble forum is
give you the ‘point-blank’ response to your questions from the Glorious Quran itself….and
if you need further clarifications on any aspect of the response, you may write
to us and we will strive to the best of our ability to respond to your queries.
Q-1.what
is the mission of islam?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verse 33:
33 It is He (Allah) who hath sent His Messenger (Prophet Mohamed
(saws)) with guidance and the religion of Truth (Al-Islam) to proclaim it over all religions, even though the pagans
may detest (it).
Q-2:
what is the mission of my life?
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 51 Surah
Dhariyat verse 56:
I (Allah) have not created the jinn and men except for this that they should worship
Me alone.
Q-3:
what do i want to be?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah
Hajj verses 77-78:
77 O ye who believe! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, and adore your
Lord; and do good; that ye may prosper.
78 And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive (with sincerity and
under discipline): He has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties on you in
religion; it is the cult of your father Ibraheem. It is He Who has named you Muslims both
before and in this (Glorious Quran); that the Messenger may be a witness for
you, and ye be witnesses for mankind!
So establish regular
Prayer, give regular charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your
Protector; the Best to protect and the Best to help!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verses 111-112:
111 Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods;
for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of
112 Those that turn (to Allah) in repentance: that serve Him and praise
Him; that wander in devotion to the Cause of Allah; that bow down and prostrate
themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limits
set by Allah; (these do rejoice). So
proclaim the glad tidings to the believers.
Q-4: and
how to go about it.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 185:
Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent
down: this Book is a Perfect Guidance for mankind and consists of clear
Teachings which show the
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.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 43 Surah
Zukhruf verses 43-44:
So, hold
fast to the Book that has been revealed to you,
you are surely on the Siraat al Mustaqeem. The fact is that this book is a great honor
for you and your people, and soon you
shall be CALLED TO ACCOUNT for it.
Respected brother, the one and only way to achieve
salvation in this world and the Hereafter is to read, study, understand, and
wholeheartedly and unconditionally accept, obey, follow, and implement every
guidance of the Glorious Quran in one’s lives…..it is expected that this ‘Path’
will lead ‘Straight’ to the ‘Doors of Mercy’ of the Lord Creator, Most
Majestic, Most Supreme, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
