Purpose Of Creation

[FADIA BINT ISMAIL]

Allah SWT Sent Us On This Earth With A Very Clear Purpose

And That Is To Worship Him And Exalt His Name

 

This worship can be divided into three main categories:

To follow the knowledge of Allah SWT

To follow His constitution the way He wants it and according to the teachings of His Prophet SAW

To implement this constitution until our entire life becomes a reflection of it

Along with giving us this clear purpose of our existence, Allah SWT also told us about our enemy, Shaytaan, and what he did. Basically warning us from following his footsteps.

 

The two major diseases that were the roots of destruction for Iblees are:

Takabbur (arrogance)

Hasad (jealousy)

Allah SWT mentions the consequence of these diseases in his heart in the following words:

Surah Baqara, Chapter 2

 

 

We said: "Get ye down all from here; and if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from me, whosoever follows My guidance, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. [Verse 38]

 

By His mercy, Allah SWT not only told us the diseases that can cause such immense destruction, He went on to provide the cure and protection from them as well. Allah SWT promises to protect the people who fit the following description: Ibaad-Allah (Slaves of Allah), Al-Mukhliseen (The sincere ones), Al-Mutawakkileen (Those who rely on Allah SWT).
