Not just choosen but being tested



In a sense we feel that we are choosen but in real fact it was just registering ourself on trial journey. It is a starting line to embark  on withstanding our belief, to be fidel and prove our oath and agreement to One God that we confessed. Its not about being greate than others but to fulfill the given responsibility. Its about accountability that will be question and evaluate on the day of judgement. Its the time when we were call back to our creator and answering to all our deeds.

No existence without purpose


Anything becomes meanigful if carry a purpose. Every existence , how tiny it may, must lurks some reason and purpose  that need to be  fulfilled. It become defect or astray when the purpose is not met It leads existence failure, if I may used the terms.

Whenever we enter any organization, much often  on their walls  plastered their vision and missions or purpose of their existence. Every department were reminded on each staff's  key performance index that need to realize in order the organizations are aligned with their long term business goals. The owner or benefactor of company inevitably to  determine  its  true purpose of existence so that they can survive and decide  direction to move. It provides foundation or based  subordinated and based upon whener some important decision to be made. They must clear what are the company seeking, what move them forord to achieve the purpose of existence.


Some may asked, if there is true purpose of like why human must die ? After fulfill all the purpose why it must be a tragic end in human life, ? So all the effort just in vain and to no avail. I'm not sure how human mind can cognitively bare with all these ambiguities.


Faith can respond to this dilemma. What is faith ? According to trusted Oxford dictionary faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something, or strong belief in doctrines of religion , based in spiritual convictions rather than proof. Human mind and intellectuals always thirsty for proof but it limitation must be accomdated by revealed sources that correspond to human fundamental inquiry such as do God exist or what is the purpose of our existence?


Holy Quran sheds some lights to all those truth seekers : 



-Did you then think that We created you in vain, and that you would not be returned to us? (23:115)
-And I created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone). (51:56)
-Who has created life and death so that He may try you which of you are best in deeds… 67:2)


-There has come to you from God a light and a luminous Book, through which God, by His grace, guides all who seek His good pleasure on the path of peace, and brings them out of the depths of darkness into light and guides them unto a Straight Path.(5:15-16)
God has guided people to the purpose of life—worshipping Him and seeking His pleasure—by sending His messengers, books and other means. But we have to want to please God to receive this guidance.The purpose of our life is the worship our Creator in the many ways there are to worship Him (prayer, helping others, seeking knowledge, etc.).The believers will not face the same afterlife as the corrupters. The pious will not be treated the same as sinners. The pleasure of God should be our goal.
