Answer 1

People everywhere are asking the questions; "What is the purpose of life?" and "Why are we here?" You might be amazed to learn, that Islam is providing clear and concise answers for these questions.
Most of those who reflect or think about life in any detail will consider and ponder these questions. There are as many different answers to these questions as there are people asking the questions. Some would hold that the purpose of life was to acquire wealth. Yet suppose they were to acquire millions of dollars, what then would they claim is their purpose after doing so?

<> If the purpose of life is to become wealthy, there would be no purpose after becoming wealthy.

The fact is that when people approach their purpose here in this life from the aspect of only gaining wealth, after collecting the money they have dreamed of their lives loose purpose and then they live in restless tension suffering from a feeling of worthlessness.

<> How could wealth then be considered as the aim of life?

Could the acquisition of wealth guarantee happiness? Of course not.
When we hear of millionaires or members of their families committing suicide, how could we consider the purpose of life would be to gain great wealth?
A child of 5 years would obviously prefer a new toy to a deposit slip for a million dollars.

A teenager does not consider millions of dollars in the bank a substitute for movies, videos, pizza and hanging out with his friends.

A person in their 80s or 90s would never consider holding on to their wealth in place of spending it to hold on to or regain their health.

This proves that money is not the main purpose at all the stages of one's life.

<> Wealth can do little or nothing to bring happiness to one who is a disbeliever in Almighty God, because regardless of what he or she would gain in this life they would always live in fear of what will happen to them in the end. They would wonder what would become of them and how they would end up.

Wealth and its accumulation as a purpose would be doomed to a temporary success at best and in the end it would only spell out self destruction.

So, what is the use of wealth to a person without belief? He would always fear his end and would always be skeptical of everything. He may gain a great material wealth but he would only lose himself in the end.

<> Worship of the One True Almighty God of the Universe [Allah in Arabic] as a primary goal or aim in life provides a believer with everything he needs to succeed in both this life and the Next Life.

The word for total surrender, submission, obedience, purity of heart and peace in the Arabic language is "Islam". Those who try to perform these actions are called "MU-slims" [Islam-ERs].

To a Muslim the whole purpose of life is "ibadah" or worship to the One True Almighty God on Terms and under His Conditions.

The term "worship" to a Muslim includes any and all acts of obedience to Almighty Allah.


So his purpose of life is a standing purpose; Worshipping Allah by accepting Allah's Will over his own.
This act of ibadah [worshipping, thanking and extolling the Greatness Almighty Allah on His Terms and Conditions] is for the Muslim, throughout his whole life regardless of the stage. Whether he is a child, adolescent, adult or aged person, he is seeking after the Will of the Almighty in all these stages.
His life here on earth although short, is full of purpose and is totally meaningful within the complete framework of total submission [Islam].
Similarly, in the Next Life as well, his faith, intentions, attitudes and good deeds will all be weighed into his account as favorable putting him in high esteem with his Creator and Sustainer.

Because Islam teaches that this life is only a test or trial for the individual to show him his true nature it is only natural that he would accept death as not so much an ending to everything but more as a beginning of the final and lasting life in the Hereafter.

Before entering into either of the final lodging places i.e.; Heaven or Hell, there must needs be a Day of Judgment or showing of one's true self to make them aware of their own nature and thereby understand what they have sent on ahead during the life here on the earth.

Every person will be rewarded [or punished] according to their attitude, appreciation and efforts during this stay on earth. None will be asked about the actions and beliefs of others, nor will anyone be asked regarding that which he was unaware of or incapable of doing.

As the life here is considered as an examination for the individual, the death stage is considered as a resting period after the test. It could be easy for those who were faithful and dedicated or it could be grueling and horrible for the wicked.

Reward and punishment will be in direct proportion to each person and it is only Allah, alone who will be the Final Judge over us all.

So in the teachings of the True Surrender, Submission, Obedience, In Sincerity and Peace to the Almighty One God [Islam], the line of life and its purpose is logical, clear and simple:

The first life is a test
The life in the grave is a resting or waiting place before the Day of Judgment
The Day of Judgment brings about the clear understanding of what will now happen to the individual based on his own desires and actions
The Permanent or Afterlife will either be spend in luxurious splendor or miserable punishment
Following this clear understanding of life, the Muslim's purpose is clear
<> First of all, he has no doubt in his mind that:

He is only created by Allah
he is going to spend a period of time in this material world [called "Ad Dunyah" in Arabic]
he knows he will die
he knows he will spend time in the grave, either pleasant or difficult depending on his own choice of attitude and actions
he knows he will be resurrected for the Day of Judgment
he knows he will be judged according to the most fair of standards by Allah the Almighty, the All Mighty, the All Knowing
He realizes his attitude and actions are going to come under very close scrutiny
he knows that this short life compared to the Eternal Life was in fact, only for a test
<> This life is very meaningful and purposeful to the Believing Muslim, as he realizes that it will determine is outcome and permanent position in the Next Life.

The Muslim's permanent purpose is to Surrender, Submit, Obey, in Purity and Peace to Allah the Almighty, carrying out His Orders and staying in some form of worship to Him as much as possible everyday.

This includes the orders of Allah in His Book, the Holy Quran and His final Messenger and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him as follows:

<> Believing and declaring that "There is no god throughout all the Creation of Allah that is worthy of worship, all worship is due only to Allah, alone and He has no partners or helpers nor does He share His Lordship with any of His creations. And Muhammad, the son of Abdullah ibn Abdul Mutallib (1450 years ago) is the last and final messenger and servant of Almighty Allah, and is the culmination in a long line of prophets sent to mankind throughout man's history, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus Christ, may Almighty Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon them all."

Establishing the regular five times ritualistic prayer [salat] in the stated times (in the mosques for the men when possible)
Paying the charity tax [Zakat = about 2.5% of one's holdings - not his income, annually]
Fasting the month of Ramadhan [lunar calendar]
Pilgrimage to the House of Allah in Mecca at least once in the life of the person, provided he has the ability and the way is safe

<> For a disbeliever the purpose of this life is to collect and amass great wealth, money, power and position. Over indulging in eating, drinking, drugs, sex and gambling are a high priority to them. But all of this will not avail them anything good in the grave, on the Day of Judgment or in the Next Life. Eventually he will be faced with the question:

Now what?
What's Next?
Where am I going?
What will happen to me?
<> He will come to know. For sure he will come to know. But then what will the knowledge avail him?
Look how Islam solves the mystery of the puzzle of life. It provides the answers to the questions and concerns of the human beings on all levels and in every aspect. It is really quite simple.

The purpose of life as understood by the Believing Muslim can be simply stated in only two (2) words:

Obey God!

Final Conclusion based on the above considerations:

Our only purpose and salvation lie in those two words. We must come to know our Creator, Sustainer and Ultimate Judge. We must learn to believe in Him, thank Him, praise Him, honor Him and worship Him, alone without any partners from His Creation. We must learn about His Messengers and Prophets, peace be upon them, and the message with which they were all sent. We must learn the Word of God as was directly revealed, preserved and memorized and passed down by memory throughout all the generations of Muslims to the present day.

Those who are in search of truth, having open minds and hearts will recognize this as a message in truth and sincerity. Open your heart and your mind now and ask the Almighty God of the Universe [Allah] to guide you now to His True Way. And then be ready to accept your true purpose in life.

Answer 2

To be, I think that the main goal of life is to learn and to live. The act of simply being is the point. Kind of like an experiment. We live and as we live we learn about social interaction and scholastic interactions. I think that this makes the world better. I kind of have a theory that goes along the idea of the big bounce, anthropic principle, and religion. The the universe grows-collapses-grows and repeats over and over again. So this means that this could be the first time life was or if could be the 51st time. And the universe is made of an ever growing force that we know as god. Whether or not this force is conscious I can't know, but I believe that it is a part of us and every atom that makes up this universe. That this force is a vast information that grows as we learn more. I think this is why we are born with things we already know. Or why molecules and things know how to act. Also along with this I think that because we are part of this force and it to us that if somebody thinks of a "theory" or "law" that it can become because the universe is now dictated by this information that the person has "learned" and or "created". So perhaps god is god, we are god, and god exists because we needed "him" to.

P.S. You should be thankful, this is my personal belief and it was hard to summarize.

Answer 3

Thank you for your sincere intelligent inquiry. God gave everyone free will. In the spiritual World there is no hate or envy. At the point when one envies Gods position. We then go to the material creation to try to be like God. creating this and that and try to enjoy like Him. But the thing is it is actually impossible to be Him. We have all the qualities of God but not in the same quantity. Like a drop of water from the ocean has all the qualities of the ocean but never is the big ocean. We are all meant to serve God also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. But we have free will so if we don't want to we come here. We have unlimited chances to return. When we are ready after many lifetimes traveling up and down from all the different species of life, we become exhausted, frustrated and fried with the materiel existence. We begin to question it all and as we become more and more sincere He reveals how to return Home.

Answer 4

I think the purpose of life is to give something back to the world and do something good for it before we leave it. We have the ability to make this world a better place.

If you really want to feel fulfilled, join a cause (whether it be social, environmental, or political) in which you feel you are making a difference. If you have spare time, see if there are any charities or organizations that need volunteers. Sometimes you may have a skill-set that organizations could use. I work as a full-time graphic designer but in my spare time I do volunteer design/pro-bono work for animal rescue organizations. That to me is worth more than any amount of money I'm paid in my professional job!

All this stuff is great for your soul.

Answer 5

There is a purpose for every organism in nature ? What makes you so sure ?? Also.. 'if' we have a purpose.. we may have more than one... we may have infinite purpose/s or every human may have a different purpose/s So I could practically answer with anything... 'MY' purpose in life is to be happy ;)

Answer 6

I think its important to remember that we are here to glorify God, not to enjoy life for ourselves apart from him. The moment we do that, life indeed becomes a meaningless pursuit of the 3 F's, fame, fortune, and fun. These are all self-indulgent and have nothing to do with seeking God. Solomon was one of the richest and wisest men that ever lived and he came to the very same conclusion. If all we needed to be happy and fullfilled was self-indulgence, then rich people would be the happiest people in the world and we see virtually everyday on the news that that isnt the case.

Answer 7

If you're looking for the meaning of life, well - that's something humans have been looking for for millions of years.

I don't think everything has to have a purpose. I think humans evolved, and there is necessarily a "purpose" for our existence. But now that we're here, we want to continue to be here. So we have sex to perpetuate our species. We marry to have a partner to share the responsibilities of raising our young. We eat and sleep so we can continue to live.

Answer 8

The Father and Jesus have, from the beginning, planned to increase Their kind. The God kind is a family! It is headed by the Father and now consists of the Father and the Son, Jesus Christ.

These two have always existed and always will exist. Their plan and desire are to add to Their kind—"bringing many sons to glory" (Hebrews 2:10). Just as all life was made to reproduce after its own kind as stated throughout Genesis 1, so God patterned man after the God kind. This is the ultimate meaning of verse 26, where God says, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness."

This is a two-stage process. First, God made man physical, of the dust of the earth. Then, through conversion and faith in Christ and obedience to God's spiritual law of love, men and women become a new "spiritual creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:24). This leads to the final birth of new children into the divine family, who are then "like" Christ, Himself the firstborn Son of God (Romans 8:29; Galatians 4:19; 1 John 3:2).

Indeed, just as human children are the same kind of beings as their parents (that is, human beings), so will God's children be the same kind of beings as the Father and Christ (that is, divine beings). This is the awesome destiny of mankind! The God family will expand through God's wonderful plan as revealed in His Word.

All children of this family—including Christ, who has always been with the One whom Christ revealed as "the Father" (John 1:18; Matthew 11:27)— will forever in the future willingly be under the ultimate sovereignty and leadership of the Father (1 Corinthians 15:28). Led by the Father and Christ, the members of this divine family will share a glorious and righteous eternity into the future.

This, then, is the sense in which God is a family—indeed a growing family, presently comprising two divine Beings, the Father and Christ the firstborn, yet ultimately to be joined by a vast multitude of others..........http://www.ucg.org/booklets/GK/

Answer 9

Basic to having purpose in our lives is recognition of the Source of life. If life were the product of mindless chance, our existence would be, without purpose, and there would be no dependable future for which we could plan.

We find the greatest happiness possible now and our lives take on richness of meaning when we apply Bible principles and put first the doing of God's will. We do not enrich god by serving him; he teaches us "to benefit ourselves." (Isa.48:17) The Bible counsels: "Become steadfast, unmovable, always having plenty to do in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in connection with the Lord." 1 Cor. 15:58. The Bible sets before us the prospect of eternal life in perfection if we put faith in God's provisions for life and walk in his ways.

Answer 10

as with all life on earth, the point/purpose of life is survival and procreation. if an individual or a group of people decide to live or die, or if there is a global catastrophy that wipes out humans, life will continue a re-evolve to suit the new environment....of course!
but as we understand this; we are master survivors; no 1 in the food chain; masters of our own destinty - we tend to think it's all about us......wrong!

Answer 11

The Dalai Lama says the purpose of life is to be happy. I suppose that covers the purpose of human creation.
