CHAPTER 1: PURPOSE OF LIFE

WHERE SHOULD WE GO?

WHY DO WE LIVE IN THE WORLD?

God did not create this human except for the purpose of worshiping Him. Therefore we are all heading in the same direction of life in the Excellent world to reap the results in the Hereafter. Just like in this world we plant seeds, water them, fertilize them, educate them until they grow up to be small children, endure the strong changes of the cucaca, grow into great adults, and in the afterlife we ​​pick the fruits of good success.

Therefore, those (believers) who prioritize the happiness of the hereafter over the (pleasures) of this worldly life, should fight in the way of Allah (to develop the religion of Islam that covers the life of this world and the brilliant afterlife). And whoever fights in the way of God and dies (martyrs) or is victorious, then We will give him a great reward.

(An-Nisa' 4:74)

Then after finishing the prayer, then spread yourselves on the face of the earth (to carry out your respective affairs), and seek what you desire from the abundance of God's grace, and remember God a lot (in all circumstances), so that you will be successful (in the world and in the afterlife)".

[Friday: 10]

Know that the life of this world is nothing but games and amusements (which are negligent) and ornaments, also boasting among yourselves (with advantages, strength, and descendants) and racing to increase wealth and children, just like the rain that falls (growing a lush green plant) makes the planter happy and attracted to its fertility, then the plant grows fresh (to a certain time), after which you see it turn yellow; finally it crumbles to pieces; and in the afterlife there is a heavy punishment (prepared for those who only prioritize the life of the world) and (there is also) great forgiveness and pleasure from God. And (remember, that) the life of this world is nothing but pleasure for the deluded. (Al-Hadid 57:20)

 

And know, the charity that has the most return after the obligation (prayer 5 times a day, fasting, zakat, Hajj) is doing good deeds and good deeds and remembering Allah. Usually we focus on worship for ourselves but ignore the worship of doing good to other people. Balance worship and good deeds.

An example of a person who sweeps garbage on the side of the road to make it easier for the public or he who washes the dishes that belong to other people with sincerity is recorded in the place of charity 100-150 reward. Imagine if you are a social problem solver, for example a doctor who treats diseases, a teacher who teaches knowledge, an economist who takes care of the country's economic stability. How much good do you do?

Therefore balance between self-worship and good deeds and benevolence.

 

WHAT IS YOUR PRIVILEGE OR DEEP INTEREST?

Each of us has one or more privileges bestowed by God, if developed will become a valuable asset. Usually it is closely related to Passion (Interest). For example, there are people who are able to analyze sharply, then they are involved in the field of Analysis.

 

HOW TO ACHIEVE THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?

Steps The steps that need to be taken is to make a thorough plan called writing a life script, including the search for related knowledge, sensitive to life experience and persistent and tireless action according to what has been planned.

Examples of Worship. Learn to pray correctly. Hakam Law, Knowledge of Fardhu ain and Fardhu Kifayah. Examples of good deeds, I want to become a doctor. What are the requirements? Excellent exam results that qualify me to go to university in that field can further help the community solve health problems. Towards that excellence, I have to be a diligent student, always review my lessons and develop interest and related knowledge. Remembering God builds excellent personalities therefore, I set aside time to remember God in the morning, evening and night.
