Dear Reader,
There is no compulsion for a human to accept the truth. But it is certainly a shame upon the human intellect when a person is not even interested in finding out what the truth really is. May your journey towards the truth begin …

What is the purpose of life?

…… Such a simple question, but so many answers. You travel through your entire life working, eating, procreating and so on, then you die and your life will come to an abrupt end, with nothing substantial to show for your entire life. Everything you are aware of has a purpose, food, a house, a car, even the sole of your shoe has a purpose. Hence, if all of those things have a purpose and your life is purposeless, you openly admit that the sole of your shoe is more important than yourself because it has a purpose while you don't. These things are so simple yet they have a purpose.
Now, look at the human body, such a complex system, yet many today are so narrow-minded that they believe they came into existence by themselves. Without a doubt, our existence is impossible without a Creator, and the Creator would never create something without a purpose, as can be seen from the realities that everything does have a purpose. Thus, mankind was also created and does have a purpose, and that purpose is to worship the Supreme Creator Alone, as revealed in the Quraan "And I (Allaah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone)" (51:56). The One Who created the heavens and the earth and all that exists, the One Who neither has a son, nor a mother, nor exists within an idol, nor exists everywhere, nor does your Creator exist within a human. Any thinking mind would know that anything partly human cannot be divine, and be aware that your Creator is divine and is free from all human descriptions. Your purpose of existence is to worship only the Creator Alone without associating anything with Him. Therefore, it is imperative that mankind understand that they were created to worship Allaah Alone. The religion we call you to is Islaam, it is the religion of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and the last of the Prophets & Messengers, Muhammad (peace be upon them all). They are just 5 of the Prophets & Messengers sent by the Creator to convey to mankind that they should worship the One True God Alone.
O reader, the Creator gave you a mind to think, to differentiate the truth from falsehood, so ponder seriously and you will ascertain that Islaam is the Truth. Know that the Creator is separate and distinct from His creation. Islaam in its' essence calls mankind away from the worshipping of creation and to direct their worship to the Creator Alone. Now that you know that your purpose in this life is to worship the Creator, Who has given you a life so that you may worship Him Alone. The question is asked "Who is your Creator?"

Who is your Creator?

A question to ponder upon for those who reflect on the purpose of life, and everything that we are exposed to, the animals, the plants, the sky, the oceans and the mountains, etc. Who created all of these magnificent creations that we are witnessing? Who is responsible for their motion? Who sustains them? O reader, question yourself now and answer it truthfully. Could all of this have been created by man, or an idol, or did it just bring itself into existence? The answer is definitely NO! The reason for this is that all of the things that we are exposed to were themselves created. Therefore, all created things and mankind must have a creator. A Creator Who is unlike and incomparable to anything we can think of, as is revealed in the Quraan "There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing" (42:11).
The One Who deserves to be worshipped Alone, Who rose above the heavens in a manner that befits His Majesty. Allaah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise, the One Who has given us life and the One Who will take it away, the One Who has given us everything, yet we are still negligent about worshipping Him. The Creator Who has sent us Prophets & Messengers, revelations and has created us with an intellect to think. The ability to know the truth from falsehood, a mind to accept that the Creator is One and has no partner or equal. Why then are we so naive to think that the Supreme Creator of the heavens and the earth exists within an idol? Why do we then say that the Creator has a mother, or has begotten a son? Reflect on these statements for a moment and you will see how wrong and unjust you are to the status of your Creator, Allaah, the One Who created the heavens, the earth and all that exists. The One Who controls the night & day, the One Who knows everything that is taking place in the universe.
O reader, your Creator is neither a male nor a female, but your Creator is Unique and He is the Only One worthy of worship. No one deserves or is worthy of worship except Allaah, our Creator. The One Who has commanded us all to be Muslims.

Why should you be a Muslim?

One of several reasons why you should be a Muslim is simply because the Creator commanded you and us to do so, as is revealed in the Quraan "Truly! Allaah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path"(3:51).
Allaah has commanded us all to be Muslims, then why are there still many who deny this Truth? Allaah answers in the Quraan "They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones"(7:179).
Being a Muslim means you submit yourself fully to the Creator and accept the fact that you were only created to worship Allaah Alone. You free yourself from the worst conceivable sin which is associating a partner with your Creator, Allaah. You therefore acknowledge that you are a slave of the Creator and to Him is your return when you die, as is revealed in the Quraan "And that to your Lord (Allaah) is the End (Return of everything)"(53:42).
O reader, think seriously, why do you worship the creations of Allaah when it is clear that the only One worthy of worship is Allaah? As He (Allaah) revealed in the Quraan "Say (to the disbelievers): "Tell me, if Allaah took away your hearing and your sight, and sealed up your hearts, who is there - an ilah (a god) other than Allaah who could restore them to you?" See how variously We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), yet they turn aside"(6:46). Lastly, but not finally, being a Muslim also guarantees you salvation and deliverance by making a barrier between yourself and the eternal Hellfire. As Allaah revealed in the Quraan "The sovereignty on that Day will be that of Allaah (the one Who has no partners). He will judge between them. So those who believed (in the Oneness of Allaah - Islaamic Monotheism) and did righteous good deeds will be in Gardens of delight (Paradise)"(22:56) and in chapter 2, verse 39 of the Quraan, Allaah revealed, pertaining to those who disbelieve, "But those who disbelieve and belie Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) such are the dwellers of the Fire, they shall abide therein forever"(2:39). Now, after knowing that you are commanded by your Creator to be a Muslim, what prevents you from being one?
