Living Without Purpose
Allah Almighty says, which means:
He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned
[Quran, At-Tawba 10:56]
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
[Quran, Adh-Dhariyat 51:55]
When your purpose in life is to worship Allah, the byproduct of that is happiness. When this purpose is missing, the smallest thing becomes your purpose. The most miserable people in this world are those who are running after happiness.
When you are pursuing Allah’s words, you are engaging with purpose. And Allah says, which means,
...in that let them rejoice...
[Quran, At-Tawba 10:58]
Because when you engage with the Quran, you have actual substance in your life and you are learning from someone who gets you inside and out.
May Allah grant us a sound understanding of the Quran. Aameen.
