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 Paradise) will be in
Bliss:
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 Paradise will be ) Reclining
in the (Garden) on
raised thrones they will see there neither the sun`s (excessive heat) nor
(the moon`s) excessive cold.
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 Eternal Gardens of Paradise will be
provided whatever one desires! All he/she has to do is ask for it, and the
Bounteous Lord will immediately provide these fortunate dwellers of Paradise
with it! Whatever they ask for, they shall have in these Eternal
Gardens
of Bliss!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah Qaaf verse 35:
There they (the men and women of Paradise) shall have all that they will
desire, and We have with Us yet more for them!
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 Paradise).
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!
My dear and beloved Brother, as your brothers and sincere well-wishers in
Islam, we humbly implore you to read with understanding, even if only once,
the Glorious Quran revealed by the Lord Creator for the guidance of all
mankind. Allah is our witness, you will find the answers to each and every
question that you have posed in complete detail to your satisfaction in the
Very Words of The One Who is the Lords of the heavens and the earth and
everything that exists in between!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah An-Nisa verse 122: The Promise
of Allah is (Absolutely) True, and who can be truer in his word than
Allah?
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and
Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
