The Purpose of Life
Our life on this earth has a specific purpose; it is not the result of nature's accident, nor is it a punishment for eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. We are here according to God's plan: the wordly life is a test; it is a chance to prove ourselves as deserving of the eternal blissful life in the hereafter. God did not create us just for few years of this life. To be created just for this world's life would amount to a joke played by the Creator with the human species. Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, said," You have not been created to perish; on the contrary, you have been created for eternal life."
According to Islam, the final destination of mankind is the life hereafter. At the end of time, all human beings will be resurrected and will be held accountable for their wordly life. The life in hereafter will be an eternal life. However, whether it will be blissful or full of sorrow depends on how we spend our present life.
It was to help mankind in achieving this objective that God sent various prophets and messengers to guide them. Muhammad is the last prophet, and Islam is the final and complete version of God's message.

In Islam The main goal of human being is raise up from its biological confines as man is an animal and reach to top of the spritual life as human being by helping others and sacrificing his efforts for the benefit of all the human race.Islam told us that Humans are the greatest of all the creations so this is the bottom line for being a human being.
Man is killing man because todays world is very non reliegious and instead following the teachings of Jesus PBUH and Hazart Muhammad PBUH they are following darwin who's motto is survival of the fitest.So now we are hunting each other for political gains,nationalism and oil.
The thing is God himself told us that he dont need our worship, God has angels who can do this.But God did emphsize on loving others beings and leading a moral life.True teaching of bible and quran told us that this is the right path.

To convey the message of Holy Quoran as given to Muhammed the Prophet.... But we notice/d actually the message conveyed to the little children and teens are newly founded theories of "qafir, hatred, jihad and brutal terrorism" under the shade of Madarasas, which are supposed to convey the message of love and unity!!!!

The purpose of our creation in Islam is to worship God, simple as that.
To answer "why a person feels danger from another person today" you would have to be more specific. Who feels in danger from who?

"Wama khalaqtul jinnah wal insa illa li-ya'budoon" _Al-Quran
Allah says that 'We've created Jin and Humans ONLY for our worship'
The sole purpose of the existense of a human is to worship Allah. However we need to do our daily acts as told by the almighty so that, these all will be considered as worship.

God is explaning here.
[56] And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).
[57] I seek not any provision from them nor do I ask that they should feed Me

[051:056] I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.
Allah also says in Quran that "This world is the test for hereafter".
well Man feel danger from other Man... in my view its coz Men has gone far from their religion whichs Islam.Men don't have faith in God, everthing is about money today, Men believe Money is God. so its due to that money Man feel danger from other Man...My view.
PEACE!
