What is the Purpose of This Life We Live?

aishaladon
We are all living in the matrix. I am sure you are all familiar with the movie the Matrix. It has many references to religion and spirituality. But the reality is, it's not just an entertaining movie. We are all living in the matrix. We were all created by God, for a single purpose to worship him. And we each have our individual purpose here in this life. But this life is temporary, it's a test, and we have been given a few books to study from in order to past the test.

The various religious scriptures have been sent down by God through his prophets and messengers as a guidance to us all. But may of us are failing our test, because we are either unaware of such books, are misguided by them, or simply look at them at great work of more entertainment.

Look at it this way. Before you were created, or born, there was life; and after you die there will be life. Islam teaches you that God is one. He is the creator of all the worlds. Yes all the worlds, not just earth, or what you see, but what is unseen as well.

That includes Angels, beings created by light, that have no free will and simply do as Allah wills them to do. Jinns that like humans have free will, choose to do right or wrong and will be judged as humans will on the day of judgment.

However this world is a mirage, a fake, temporary. Notice haw time continues to go faster , and faster. The days seem shorter and shorter. Because they are, and you are loosing time. Before you know it, this life will be over and the next will begin.

The difference is, this life is temporary and the next is forever. And whatever you have accumulated in this life, you can not take with you when you go. You will forget anyone, and everything that is unnecessary and non beneficial in the next world.

If you adhered to the guide book that you were given to take your test, you will spend your time in the grave with relaxation and ease. But if you did not you will be tormented, wishing you could return and re take your test.

Well just like there is only one chance to make a first impression. You only get one chance to take the test in the Matrix, there are no do overs.

And those who disbelieve that God is real, he has angels, prophets, messengers, and holy Scriptures, that there is life after death, and that this world is only temporary are disbelievers.

Not those who are not Muslim. But those who do not believe in God. And that he is one, and that there is none like him.

And there are many who do not believe, and believe that it is all just a jest so I ask you this question. What is the point than? What is your purpose?
