Salam aaylaykom The question is what is the

purpose of life according to the Koran in

the Quran Allahh (SWT) gives us a very important

fact that relates to how we understand our

existence in this life so in sourah al Bakara

verse #28 Allahh (SWT) says you were You were

dead and then you were made alive now we are

alive and then you shall die and then you

shall live again In other words death and

then life and then death and then life we

are in the first life to be followed by the

second death to be followed by the final and

eternal life Very clear so death preceded

life So what is he talking about In other

words is saying in that verse how do you deny

In other words Allahh (SWT) is asking how

could you deny God while you know that you

were dead before this life in which you are

you are now so let's understand this from

a scientific point of view from a real point

of view that we can all relate to Let's understand

that before we were we were born before the

day of our birthday right we came out from

our mother’s womb In other words Allah refers

to that stage and whatever was before it wherever

we were before as death we know it was there

we know we were there we know we were in our

mother’s womb and yet we were not in this

life right so In other words that is part

of the death that this verse verse #28 in

sourah al bakara is referring to so now in

order to understand What is the purpose of

life Allahh (SWT) is telling us that in order

to prepare yourself for the next life after

the coming death and we're all gonna go through

the 2nd the second death in order to prepare

for the second life We have to work in this

life now we have to understand couple of things

if we observe all the animal creatures around

us their babies come out a lot more prepared

for life than humans and this is very noticeable

very observable very interesting and intriguing

why does a gazelle a baby gazelle or a fawn

right or you know a baby deer or you know

any baby of any animal come out on their birthday

ready to run making sounds able to understand

their mothers voice able to find a way to

eat and they all live and their already most

of the animals are usually ready to take care

of themselves but humans on the other hand

are not ready at all they're not programmed

In other words this creature is unique because

it is not preprogrammed it doesn't have all

the instincts it needs to have to survive

Allahh (SWT) says Surah Al Nahl Number 78

brought you out of your mother’s wombs Not

knowing anything Totally unprogrammed this

is exactly the point Allahh (SWT) gave us

the capability to fully program ourselves

unlike the animals I like them a lot brought

you out of the wombs of your mother's not

knowing anything and then he gave you the

hearing the site and your ability to comprehend

so that perhaps you would be thankful so how

are we unique it is because Allahh (SWT) is

giving us the full opportunity in our own

self-development so we grow And then we continue

to develop ourselves after the first initial.

Where our mothers and fathers help us in becoming

self-sustaining right we sustain ourselves

physically then we can continue to develop

ourselves emotionally intellectually through

knowledge through the right behavior and thus

we prepare ourselves for the next life let

me give you a very simple example going back

to the example of the fetus in the mother’s

womb let's imagine that I go to that fetus

at about Seven months right Seven months after

conception and I asked that fetus imagine

that in two months you're going to come out

to a totally different type of existence he'll

say Nah that's not gonna happen i really like

it in here i love it the sounds are you know

the environment is warm i don't have to search

for my food i sleep when I want I wake up

when I want and then I say we have to prepare

your eyes and he says no there's nothing to

see in here what should I prepare my eyes

for right he has no perception that there

is a life coming that there is a different

type of existence coming and such is life

according to the Quran for us in this life

this life this existence is our room for the

next existence In other words Allahh (SWT)

entrusted the human beings as a unique creature

to prepare ourselves to help ourselves in

our own self-development to go to the next

life where we would use all of the things

that we prepared ourselves with and that is

the purpose of life according to the Quran

I hope for all of you and for me that we are

preparing in the right way salam aalaykom!
