In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

There is only one purpose, one mission for the human being: to be a righteous worshiper of God alone. This is clarified in verse 51:56 of the Quran where God says, "I did not create the Jinns and the Humans except to worship Me alone". 

We are in this world because we committed a horrendous crime (Quran 38:69, 33:72), and this life is our chance to redeem ourselves, denounce our crime, and rejoin God's kingdom (Quran 45:22, 67:1-2).

With God's help, we work hard to redeem ourselves (Quran 90:4). May God shower us with His Grace and Mercy to enable us to be guided on His path (Quran  1:3-7, 7:43) and remain devoted to Him Alone.

       The Purpose of Our Life*
[Quran 67:2] The One who created death and life for the purpose of distinguishing those among you who would do better.* He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.
*67:2 See the Introduction and Appendix 7 for details of the purpose behind this world.


Peace.
