What is the purpose of our existence?

We are a forgetful creature. We forget almost everything. We forget today what happened yesterday. After a few days of death we even forget our beloved family members. It is part of our life to forget the past and move on, there is no harm. However, if we forget the purpose of our life, we will go astray. So, we need a constant reminder for ourselves.

In this post, I am going to talk about a Video lecture by Ustad Mohamad Baajour. In a series lecture called JAR (Just a reminder), he reminds us what do to as a Muslim. What do to to be the successful person in the world and in the hereafter. In today’s lecture he discussed the most important reminder, “What is the purpose of our life or existence?” or “What are we doing here in this world?”

Our sole purpose in this world is to worship Allah, the creator of us. He told us in His Quran that He didn’t create mankind and Jinkind for any other purposes other than worship Him. To lead our worldly life, we forget this message. We are so busy with our job, family, online/offline affairs that we don’t even say our prayers timely and sincerely!! We are continuously failing in the trials we are put on in this world.

Our every deed should be done to please Allah. If a deed is not going to please Him, we need to stop performing that deed. If we can perform all the good deeds along with a strong faith in Him, we are guaranteed to be happy in this world and in the world after this.

Let us remind each other about the sole purpose of our life. Please watch the lecture to have more knowledge and reminders.

Thank you.
