Allah says in the holy Qura'n :
Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us? [

the purpose of life ............
Actually, the purpose of life can be expressed in just a few words: We are here to learn about God and to do his will
The Bible says: "The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man."—Ecclesiastes 12:13.

hey Musfahel. thank you for the links!

if you're wanting an inter-faith discussion on purpose and religious life, i would answer that our purpose is to know and respond to God's Word in all things, and encourage others to do the same.

The first link was to a guy speaking in (what I understand) might well be Arabic, and the second crashed onme half way through.

The purpose of life, as I see it ? To become good enough to get back to God.

I may not but Patrickism does understand one thing about purpose:

There is something YOU left out that no religion is qualified to teach – PURPOSE. Because PURPOSE is personal. What's PURPOSEful to YOU may not BE PURPOSEful to another.

Chapter : Religion
Pg: 36

Patrickism also appreciates your holy quote from Allah.

There are no "bit actors." EveryONE plays an integral part. No ONE is superior or inferior to another. You are ALL equal and you are ALL needed in the performance that is life.

Not your average Mormon
The purpose of life is to (1) gain a physical body (since we already had a spirit before we came to Earth), to (2) learn to walk in faith, trusting God and relying on His for guidance, to (3) develop strength of character through trials and difficulties, to (4) find joy in living righteously, to (5) become everything it is possible for children of God to become and to (6) return to God's presence and to live with Him forever someday.

In the Baha'i view, the purpose of life is twofold:

  • As individuals, we are to acquire the spiritual virtues we'll need both here and in the Next Life.
  • In aggregate, we're to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization.
And the purpose of religion is to teach us HOW to go about this!

Best, :)

Bruce
