What is YOUR purpose of life?

Everything in existence has a purpose.
When you see a bridge, a building, a tower or any such object you would automatically consider whom it was constructed by.
When you see a large ship, an aeroplane or a rocket you would think about how incredible it is.
When you see an airport, a nuclear station or a satellite you are automatically impressed. Yet these are only things that are manufactured by humans.
 Now think of the human body.
Think about the brain. How it functions, analyses, retrieves and stores information. How it categorises information all in the millionth of a second.
Think about the eye. How it is like a human camera, adjusting to light and distance, focusing, interpreting. How it detects colour naturally.
Think of the heart. How it pumps continuously for a lifetime, maintaining steady pace.
Who created them? Has this ever come to mind? Who mastered their design and function? Did humans do this? Of course not.
Think of the earth. It is one planet in the solar system. Our galaxy is one of the many galaxies. All galaxies are in order, all precise. They are not conflicting with one another. They are each in an orbit set for them.
"Each one is travelling in orbit with its own motion." [2:21]
Did humans set this into motion? Clearly not.
Think of all organisms on earth. The oceans, the fish, the plants, bacteria and other elements scientists have not yet discovered.
 "He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolved, the Bestowed of forms, to Him belong the most beautiful names. Whatever is in the heavens and on earth does not decline his praise and glory. And He is exalted in might. The Wise."[59:24]
Did all of this just happen by chance?? The answer is NO.
The creator of all this, the One responsible for maintaining this is the Almighty Allah. He is the only One that deserves praise and gratitude.
Now the question arises, What is our purpose of life? Why are we here? Why are we part of this creation?
Our purpose can be understood by two words: `Worship Me'. These same words are mentioned in the Qur'an;
"And I did not create the Jinn and Mankind except that they should Worship Me. I do not seek any provision from them, nor do I want them to feed me." [51:56]
So it is known that through the creation we must come to know the Creator. We must honour Him, thank Him, glorify Him, worship Him and Praise Him.
This is our true purpose in life. We must ensure that whatever we do in this life is subject to His orders. The main reason for our creation is to worship Allah.
"Oh Mankind! Worship your Lord Who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous. He has made for you the earth as a bed and the sky as a canopy, and sent down rain and brought forth fruits as provisions for you. [2:21]

If you are in search of the truth bring your minds and hearts to understand this firstly, your purpose on earth. Recognise this as a message of truth. Open your heart and ask Him to guide you and make you true to His way.
Now tell me, What is YOUR purpose of life if it is not this??
