What is the purpose of life? (The Purpose of Life) Where am I from? Why did I come here? Where am I going? ======================================== Block 1: Why did I come here? ======================================== Everyone has an understanding of their organs such as eyes, ears, brain and heart, they are all created with a purpose. So, is it not unreasonable to think that all tiny organisms have the same purpose? God, who is all-wise, did not create us without a purpose or just to satisfy our simple needs. Obviously, we have a higher purpose: to understand and worship God alone, that we may live under the guidance of our Creator, who gives us a successful life and the blessings of life. Includes virtuous deeds such as prayer (salat), socially beneficial deeds such as doing good to one's neighbors, providing for one's family, loyalty, and keeping one's word. God forbids us to worship anything (such as idols, the sun, the moon, birds, ancestors, and worldly possessions). He does not need respect or reverence. Everyone has an obligation to worship Him directly. God describes human life as a test. People get tested in our lives, we can not prevent what happens to us, but we can control ourselves to face it. Patience in need, gratitude for the blessings and successes of God's guidance and the end of great rewards. We are also warned of the punishment of Hell if we choose to disbelieve and disobey His commandments. ======================================== Block 2: What should I do now? ======================================== Discovering the only faith is to use wisdom in observing and recognizing the notion of God and living by His direction. This is possible in the eyes of the gods, who in Arabic call living a Muslim. God is the only Creator in Arabic called Allah. He created Islam to correct every human being with the right mindset of understanding God and for them to live in peace. So find out about Islam to fulfill the mission of life properly. "I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is an apostle of Allah." Is not this the time for you to fulfill your purpose in life, to surrender to the truth and acknowledge your Creator? ======================================== Block 3: The Nature of the Prophet Jesus ======================================== (To understand the nature of God in Islam, it is necessary to study the confusing nature of Jesus and the assertion of Jesus' nature.) Some Christians claim that Jesus is God or a part of the Trinity and that God came to earth in human form. After all, according to the Bible, Jesus communicated with God in prayer. His life clearly shows that worship is not a homage to him, instead he instructs people to worship the only true God. So, what is the proper reason for making a person a god? There is no reasonable reason at all. After all, the Bible says, "If God can do all things, can he become a man?" By God's definition, God does not do anything that is not pleasing to God, nor can He lose His character. More precisely, the Bible in the Bible, e.g. Matthew and other scriptures reveal his words and deeds. For example, Jesus knelt and prayed (Matthew 26:39). If Jesus is God, why does he bow down and pray? And to whom did Jesus pray? Some Christians claim, "Jesus is the Son of God." We should find out what this means. Surely God is far from having a child that people know the word. At the same time, we see that the word "Son of God" was used in the Bible in the past to refer to "righteous people." The term is commonly used in the Old Testament to refer to the righteous, even David, Solomon, Israel, etc. do not mean to be born as children of God. Conclusion of Islam recognizes Jesus in his true nature: He is the glorious messenger of our faith, God, and the right direction, the truth, and the goodness of Jesus. Jesus is a prophet mentioned in the Bible that should be read to call on mankind to worship God alone. “It is not proper for God to have children of the Almighty.” - Al-Qur'an 19:35 (AL-PEACE Cambodia • ALLAH LOVES CAMBODIA)
