Dear Islamic brothers! There is no doubt in the fact that everything has a purpose in life. Whether it be the clothes we wear, the pen we use to write, the house we live in, the watch around our wrist, the fast-riding bike or an aeroplane, everything has some sort of purpose. Just think! When everything in this universe has a purpose, then is it possible that human beings have been created for no purpose? Are human beings born without a purpose? No! Definitely not! Human beings have not been created useless in this life. Hence, it is stated in Para 18, Surah Al-Mu’minoon, verse 115:

اَفَحَسِبْتُمْ اَنَّمَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ عَبَثًا وَّ اَنَّكُمْ اِلَیْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُوْنَ(۱۱۵)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: So do you think that We have created you in vain, and that you are not to return to Us?

(Part 18, Surah Al-Mu’minoon, Ayah 115)

 

O Devotees of the Prophet! Just think! It is understood from this verse of the Holy Qur’an that human beings have been created for a specific purpose. To guide us for this very purpose, it is stated in part 27, Surah Az-Zariyaat, verse 56:

وَ مَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَ الْاِنْسَ اِلَّا لِیَعْبُدُوْنِ(۵۶)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And I have created jinns and human beings, only for this that they should worship Me.

(Part. 27, Surah Az-Zariyaat, Ayah 56)
