FLOWCHART OF HUMAN LIFE ON EARTH FROM AN ISLAMIC STANDPOINTThe Fundamental Message of IslamDo you ever wonder:-» What is your higher Purpose in Life? Why do you exist? What gives Meaning to your Life?= Is it Materialism? Self-Aggrandizement: Accrual of Wealth, Power, Fame, Be Number One. Accumulation.= Is it Hedonism? Self-Indulgence - Pursuit of Pleasures: Just Play, have Fun and be Happy. Consumption.= Is it Asceticism? Self-denial: Abstinence from all forms of Worldly Pleasures and Desires. Renunciation.» Why is there Suffering in this World? Why do Bad Things happen to Good People?The answers can be found in the Message of Islam. But you need an educated mind to understand the Message of Islam. To find out if you have an educated mind, here is the definition: - A quote attributed to Aristotle:It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.The Qur'an is the Message of Islam [14:52, 05:67, 39:23]. The Message is allegedly from God and it is for all of mankind [07:158]. The Message is divided into three parts: [1] What to do? [2] Why to do? And [3] How to do?[1] What To Do?When we start reading the Qur'an from the beginning, the very First Command that we encounter in it is the Summary of the entire Qur'an and the Fundamental Message of Islam. The First Command appears in the Verse:[02:21] O mankind! Worship your Lord, [the One] Who created you and those [who came] before you, so that you may become Righteous.Note that it is addressed to all of mankind irrespective of their gender, colour, age, religion, race, nationality, language, education, wealth, power, lineage, etc. Then it says: worship the Creator - but do we really know who our Creator is? The earlier people are also mentioned in it because some people say that they were created by their parents, so the Verse counters this argument by asking 'who created your parents and their parents and so on’? Since we don’t know, we must find out who truly is our Creator? So the Verse is basically asking us to find out who is our true Creator and then spend the rest of our lives worshiping the Creator. Further it says that if we do this then we will become Righteous - these are the successful people [02:02~05], the ones who will live in Paradise for all eternity [03:15]. So the Message is Simple: Find God and worship Only God in order to become successful. That is our Purpose in Life. The Message is for everyone and it is exactly the same for all.In Islam, worshiping God does not mean forsaking our worldly life and becoming an ascetic and start begging. God does not permit us to abandon all our wealth and possessions and cut off all our relations and live in isolation - that is forbidden. God expects us to live among people and fulfil all our obligations towards our parents, siblings, spouse, children, neighbours, friends, relatives, colleagues, employers, employees, customers, poor and needy people and the society in general. Religion and the worldly life are not two separate things; they are one and the same thing. Everything we do in this life, from birth to death, is deemed as worship or disobedience depending upon how we do the deeds. If we do things in a manner that is recommended by God then it is worship else it is disobedience. Islam tells us how to earn and how to spend, how to eat, what to eat and what not to eat, what to wear and how much to cover, how to satisfy our carnal instincts and with whom - what is permitted and what is forbidden. God does not expect self-annihilation or even self-denial from us. God expects only self-discipline from us. Islam is God’s rule book about how to live life. Islam means submission to the Will of God. A Muslim is one who willingly submits to the Will of God. The Qur'an is the Will of God. [51:56].[2] Why To Do?
