Why did Allah create us

 

Why did Allah create us

Why are you created? 

To lead your life the way you want, or for some other reason? 

Almighty Allah answers us in the following verse

Almighty Allah says:

﴿وَما خَلَقتُ الجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلّا لِيَعبُدونِ﴾ [الذاريات: ٥٦]

And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me

Adh-Dhariyat 56

Then we are not created only to worship Almighty Allah...

We are not created to live the life we desire...

We are not created to look for money...

We are not created to look for a husband or wife, nor for children, nor to work, nor for the homeland

We are created to worship Allah, and if we worship Allah properly, Allah takes care of the rest

﴿ما أُريدُ مِنهُم مِن رِزقٍ وَما أُريدُ أَن يُطعِمونِ۝إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الرَّزّاقُ ذُو القُوَّةِ المَتينُ﴾ [الذاريات: ٥٧-٥٨]

I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me. Indeed it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of straight 

Adh-Dhariyat 57-58

Because of He is the One who holds everything in His hand, provision, happiness, and tranquility, so He promised the one who worships Him by following the Qur'an and Sunnah never to be unhappy

﴿قالَ اهبِطا مِنها جَميعًا بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ عَدُوٌّ فَإِمّا يَأتِيَنَّكُم مِنّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدايَ فَلا يَضِلُّ وَلا يَشقى﴾ [طه: ١٢٣]

[Allah] said, Descend from it [Paradise], all [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither gi astray nor suffer

Taha 123

And if we do not worship Allah properly, and we continue to occupy ourselves with our worldly life (as is the case of many of people) we will never be satisfied and our life will be difficult

﴿وَمَن أَعرَضَ عَن ذِكري فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحشُرُهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ أَعمى۝قالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرتَني أَعمى وَقَد كُنتُ بَصيرًا۝قالَ كَذلِكَ أَتَتكَ آياتُنا فَنَسيتَها وَكَذلِكَ اليَومَ تُنسى۝وَكَذلِكَ نَجزي مَن أَسرَفَ وَلَم يُؤمِن بِآياتِ رَبِّهِ وَلَعَذابُ الآخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبقى﴾ [طه: ١٢٤-١٢٧]

And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed he will have a depressed [difficult] life, and We will gather [raise] him on the Day of Resurrection blind. He will say, My Lord, why have You raised me blind while I was [once] seeing. [Allah] will say, Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot [disregarded] them, and thus will you this Day be forgotten, and thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring 

Taha 124-127

Then you who are tired, sad and lost return to the absolute truth

You are created by Allah, He gave you life, food, He created the earth on which you live, and the sky that covers you, your happiness depends only on Him, so why don't you worship Him properly?!

We need to think carefully before it will be too late
