Why Living?
Hello, here i am. This time the post is about something more serious than previous post.
Well, at one point in everyone's life, they usually will stop for a while, sit down and ponder on the thought of, "Why am i here?" And, at this point, few things could happen.
1) They might just take the easy way out. Believe in the Theory Of Evolution. Since they 'evolved' from monkey, and monkey's dont worry about any purpose of life, they do not have to do so too. Thus, they come to the conclusion that man has no purpose in life.
2) A little bit more serious type, they will try to look for it around themselves. Ask their parents, friends, and such. Some lucky to find answer, some just settle down for simple solutions. Such as find lots of money, make everyone happy, try to achieve peace in the world or even think of contributing something to their country.
3) Insya-Allah. The real lucky ones, the guided ones will find the true answer. Given to us by the Lord of Universe, The Creator, The Exalted in Might, the Wise, Allah. Think of it, who could ever tell you the purpose of yourself if not your Creator. And, yes. The Creator did tell us the purpose of our life. He did not leave us all alone, he sent multiple Messengers with each bringing the message of Islam. The Final Prophet, Muhammad (Peace be upon him), through him Allah have explained everything that we should know. The Quran states the following.
In the Surah Saad( 38), Verse number 27
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاء وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَاطِلًا ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنَ النَّارِ
English: Not without purpose did We create heaven and earth and all between! that were the thought of Unbelievers! but woe to the Unbelievers because of the Fire (of Hell)!
(Malay: Dan Kami tidak menciptakan langit dan bumi dan apa yang ada antara keduanya tanpa hikmah. Yang demikian itu adalah anggapan orang-orang kafir, maka celakalah orang-orang kafir itu karena mereka akan masuk neraka.)
In this verse, Allah refutes the view that human are made purposeless. And, went further to say Unbelievers have such thought, and warns about the fate of them.
In the Surah Dzariyat (51), Verse number 56
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
English: I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.
(Malay : Dan Aku tidak menciptakan jin dan manusia melainkan supaya mereka menyembah-Ku)
One short verse, but it has the answer to probably the most fundamental question ever to be pondered by man. Yes, the answer is there, we know what we have to do.
But, do we know how to do it?
I will try to address this in the coming post. Insya-Allah.

Allah knows best.
