“ And I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except that they should worship Me .” [Al-Quran 51:56]
Whenever anything is created the creator has some intention, purpose of creation. The almighty created man and then He put everything engaged in serving for him. Why He raised the status of human to such a great extent .He created the man So that he may worship Him. And what is worship?????
Worship is to live the life according to the ways shown by Almighty. It is not possible that the creator of everything, who has created the human for a special purpose, has left the human in darkness & has not told him that what is his goal & how can he achieve his goal.
Allah created jinn and human beings for his worship. Worship is a wide term that means Allah has given the power to both the creations to choose the right or wrong path and to follow the commandments of Allah. This capability which is present in the human beings and is inborn is responsible for worship of Allah. But if the man knowingly destroys this capability and follows the wrong path then this is against the worship of Allah and denial of His commandments given through His books and messengers.
Allah created the human beings only to see that whom of you are good in your deeds in this materialistic world. Good deeds are following the commandments of Allah described in the books and through His messengers. Through his commandments Allah has blessed the mankind with the best way of spending the life in each & every aspect of life.
The human being created in this world is not just to play and enjoy the worldly life but to do good work as worship; to make good behavior and good relations and to solve the problems concerning religion, society, economy, politics etc. with morality, equality, peace, love, affection, justice and harmony.
“Glorious is the One in whose hand is the Kingdom (of the whole universe), and He is powerful over everything, the One who created death and life, so that He may test you as to which of you is better in deeds ” [Al-Quran 67:1-2].
Out of the human conditions, only two phenomena, i.e. life and death are mentioned here, because they cover all of human conditions and actions of his entire life. The creation of ‘life’ is quite obvious, because life is a positive reality that can be the object of creation and bringing into existence. However, one may ask how ‘death’ can be ‘created’, while it is a negative concept that refers to a state of non-existence. In answer to this question, the leading commentators have come up with different explanations. The most plausible one is that ‘death’ is not a state of pure non-existence. It actually refers to the removal of soul from the body and its transfer from one place to another. Thus it is a positive phenomenon. Just as ‘life’ is a phenomenon that relates to a human body, ‘death’ too is a phenomenon that overtakes him.
“And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die – would they be eternal?” “Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned.” [Al-Quran 21:34-35]
What is death: Majority of the scholars believes that death is the departure of soul from the mortal human frame, while soul itself is a subtle ethereal living thing which is made of light and resides in human body just as fragrance resides in the rose.
Worldly comforts and discomforts are tests And We test you all through bad and good (situations) with a trial. It means that man is tested both by good things and by bad things. Bad includes unpleasant things such as illness, grief, pain, poverty etc. while good means desirable things, like good health, happiness, comfort and abundance. Man is subjected to these conditions in this world for test and the test is that he should show patience and endurance in the face of adversity and should offer thanks to Allah when his life is peaceful and comfortable. Wise men have said that, it is more difficult to be steadfast and consistent in offering thanks to Allah for His gifts than to persevere and show patience in difficult circumstances.
“Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.” [Al-Quran 3:185]
Thoughts of the Hereafter heal all sorrows and remove all doubts. The sixth verse (185) puts a sharp focus on the ultimate reality of things in a situation when sometime somewhere disbelievers come to enjoy ascendancy one way or the other and they have all the luxury they can think of in this world. Contrary to this, Muslims have to face some hardships, some difficulties and a certain paucity of worldly means. There is nothing surprising about it and certainly no occasion to be grieved, for no follower of a faith or philosophy can ignore the reality of life that sorrow and happiness in this world are both short lived. No living creature can escape death. As for the comfort and discomfort experienced in this world, they vanish, more than often, right there with relevant changes in circumstances – or, just in case, no change takes place during the life of this world, it is certain that everything will end with the knock of death. Therefore, worrying about this short-lived cycle of comfort and discomfort should not become the chronic concern of a wise person. One should, rather, have concern for what would happen after death. So, the verse (185) tells us that every living being shall taste death and once in the Hereafter, there shall come the reward and punishment of deeds which will be severe and long drawn as well. This is what a wise person should worry about and prepare for. Given this rule of conduct, one who stays away from Hell and finds entry into the Paradise is really the successful one. May be this happens at the very beginning as would be the case with the most righteous servants of Allah. Or, it may come to pass after having faced some punishment as would be the case with sinning Muslims. But, Muslims – all of them – will finally have their deliverance from Hell and the blessings of Paradise will become theirs for ever.
This will be contrary to what happens to disbelievers – Hell will be their eternal resting place. If they were proud over their short-lived worldly gains, they are terribly deceived. That is why it was said at the end of the verse: ‘And the worldly life is nothing but an asset, full of illusion.’ Strange is the anatomy of this deception, for reckless material enjoyments here become the source of great hardships in the Hereafter and conversely, most of the hardships faced here become the treasure of the Hereafter.
