Islam clearly addresses one of the most central and challenging questions in human history: \u201cWhat is the purpose of life?\u201d God declares in the Quran, \u201cAnd I did not create \u2026 mankind except to worship Me.\u201d (51:56) For Muslims, the purpose of life is to worship God, the Creator of all things. Worship in Islam is a comprehensive concept that urges people to be conscious of God throughout their daily lives and provides a framework to help people live a balanced and virtuous life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This way of life promotes strong moral character, good relations with people, and just and harmonious societies. Devoting one\u2019s self to a life of submission to God is the key to attaining a true sense of peace because it produces a balance of spiritual needs with worldly affairs. It also lends special meaning to the concept of living one\u2019s life responsibly, aware of the accountability to come in the hereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Belief in the Day of Judgment is extremely important in Islam. This event will signal the transition between the temporary life of this world to the eternal life in the hereafter. On that day, people will be resurrected and held accountable for their deeds in life, which will determine their eternal destination in Heaven or Hell. Many verses in the Quran describe the events on the Day of Judgment in great detail and give a description of Heaven and Hell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
