Leading A Purposeful Life
قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ﴿١٦٢﴾
Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my death are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds. [Quran, An-’am 6:162]
Our life in this world is a purposeful life. All stages and phases of our life, that is, our eating, drinking, standing, sitting, sleeping, waking, even our living and death, all revolve around a central purpose. As long as what we do conform to this purpose, all we do is correct and sound. If these are against that purpose, then, they are all wrong.
The poet-sage Rumi said it so well:
The purpose of life is to remember the Creator and serve Him well.
Life without that devotion is nothing but shame
What you see is a crowd of anti-men
They are not men, they are just the shell of men
When a person abandons this purpose, he does not remain the human being that he was created to be. May Allah help us serve our purpose of life. Aameen.
