What do muslims believe is the reason for human existence?

Answer 1

Allah has said in the Quran " We have not created the Humans and the Jins, except to worship Him ( that is Allah Subhano wo Tala)"

In various places in Quran, Allah has instructed to the mankind ( not only Muslims), that this world is a test for you, and the real life begins after your death here. All the evils and all the good things provided in this world serves only one purpose, to seive the pious people from the evil ones. The evil ones being those who will or have been deceived by Satan and forget the basic message of Allah, that is to worship him alone and not to associate partners with Him, and they all will burn in the hell fire for ever. The good one are those, who accepted the oneness of God, and accepted this message brought by various messengers and ultimately by Prophet Mohammad Sallala ho Alaaihe WA alehey waslam ( may peace be upon him). All of these righteous one will ultimately go to Paradise ( but after the judgment day, which means that Justice will prevail, and even the Muslims who have disobeyed Allah will be punished and after that punishment will be allowed to enter Paradise).

Hence, Muslim by its litereal meaninig is A person who submits his will towards Allah. The whole purpose of life of a Muslim is to lead this life as explained very elaborately in Quran and in the sayings of our beloved Prophet Mohammed ( peace be upon him) and in doing so, if he disobeys, should fear Allah and seek forgiveness, and always aim for the rewards of the eternal life.

Answer 2

Islamic teachings in this topic is very similar to that of its fellow Abrahamic religions, Christianity and Judaism. According to the Quran, mankind and jinn were created to worship God. Islam states that it is incumbent to believe in life after death. When a person dies, he / she will be questioned in the grave. If the person was bad, he / she will be punished by various means in the grave. If the person was good, he / she will sleep peacefully. At an appointed time, an angel will be instructed to blow a Trumpet. All life will cease to exist and the world will end. After a fixed time, the angel will be given life again. He will blow the trumpet and all of mankind will be raised up in front of God. God will question everybody on all their deeds. Good believers will be sent to Paradise forever while bad people and disbelievers will be entered into the fire of Hell. Therefore according to Islam, mankind has to live a good life and follow the shariah in order to please God.

Answer 3

Islam considers all life forms as sacred. However, the sanctity of human life is accorded a special place. The first and the foremost basic right of a human being is the right to live. The Glorious Qur'an says:

"…if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people."

[Al-Qur'an 5:32]

Such is the value of a single human life, that the Qur'an equates the taking of even one human life unjustly, with killing all of humanity. Thus, the Qur'an prohibits homicide in clear terms. The taking of a criminal's life by the state in order to administer justice is required to uphold the rule of law, and the peace and security of the society. Only a proper and competent court can decide whether an individual has forfeited his right to life by disregarding the right to life and peace of other human beings. i know it doesn't answer your question in directly but that is the best i can explain based on your unclear question .

Answer 4

A Muslim's lifetime purpose is to make good deeds as much as possible , & to try not to commit sins .....eventually a Muslim wish to die while Allah is pleased with him, this is the greatest achievement ever done.

May Allah make the most beautiful day of our lives is that when meeting Him.

Answer 6

There are two questions here:

What is the Islamic view on human nature?
Islam holds that humans are born neutral, neither sinful or angelic, and are gifted by God with free will. As a result of this free will, humans are often out of sync with the natural world, making choices based on hedonistic desires, demonic urges, economic considerations, and other reasons. Islam holds that it is the duty of every person to master his desires and control his energies so that he can overcome these other motivations that are actually impediments to an ethical life.

What is the Islamic view on the purpose of life?
Islam holds that it is a human's duty to surrender to God's will and act in accordance with God's mandates. As mentioned in the section on human nature, Islam argues that humans are out of sync with nature and the forces that allow this disequilibrium to persist are all rebellions against what God would have humans do. As a result, following Islam, literally submitting to God's will is the attempt to return to the way God intended humans to be, both ethically and spiritually.
