The Meaning of Life in Islam

The Meaning of Life in Islam - answering the big life questions from an Islamic perspective.

Islam is very clear and concise when explaining the meaning of life. Allah asks us in the Quran: “Did you really think that We had created you without any purpose?” 23:115. Whenever we think about life, meaning or our purpose in life, we tend to ask the same questions... What is life? Why am I here? What is my purpose? Where am I going?

For such fundamental, basic questions, why are we still confused? In Islam, the meaning and purpose of life is clear and consistent; it makes sense and it has good reasons and proofs to back itself as the only reason for our existence.

If the meaning of life was about gathering and collecting as much money and possessions as possible, why is it that the richest people are the emptiest? If the meaning of life was to become as famous as possible, why is it that celebrities are taking their own lives? These people have everything they want from a materialistic point of view - yet they feel purposeless.

From an Islamic perspective, the purpose of life is far beyond material possessions and human desires. There is a higher purpose - this video explains the Islamic perspective using evidences from the Quran and the life of Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
