Knowledge Point

People often wonder what the purpose of sending humans into this world is. They also wonder the purpose of their life and are generally unable to find the right answers. However, it is important to know that the human beings were created with a specific purpose in mind. Allah says in the Holy Quran,

“I have only created jinns and men, that they may serve Me.” HOLY QUR’AN 51:56

“Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits, but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere— who say when afflicted with calamity: ‘To ALLAH we belong, and to Him is our return.’” HOLY QUR’AN 2:155-156

Allah has sent humans into this world with a specific purpose. It is not because mankind was to be punished for eating the forbidden fruit neither because it was a nature’s accident.

The purpose of creating human beings is that this life is a test for all human beings. This is not an eternal life. Hence, it is the duty of Muslims and all human beings to prepare themselves for the life hereafter. This life has been presented to prove your love for Allah and His teachings and religion.

Therefore, at the end of this life, all Muslims will be resurrected and their deeds in this temporary life will be accounted for. Therefore, being a Muslim, it is your responsibility to follow the principles laid down by Allah in order to have a place in the Paradise.

Wudu is a beautiful way of purifying yourself before going for a perfect meeting (Salah) with ALLAH (GOD). Without doing Wudu our body will not be purified and you cannot say your prayer or you can say your prayer is not valid. Way of doing Wudu include: swiftly washing our hands and feet, splashy splash on the face, a quick wipe over the head and we are done, not thinking much of it.

This becomes a condition for everyone to fulfill it with great and true intention of going for something very important, with an intention of pleasing ALLAH (GOD). Wudu is also a form of worship. By performing Wudu you can get closer to Allah….you can increase your Imaan and strengthen your faith. You can also heap on your love for Allah and His Messenger (Sal Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam)…and you can have your sins forgiven.

Every time when you perform it, you will care for ALLAH feels more for him, and have a great feeling of fulfilling his orders (commands).

(O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salah (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles) [Surah Maidah:6].

The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said: “He who performs Wudu like this Wudu of mine and then offered two rakahs of prayer without allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins are expiated.” (Muslim).

“When the Muslim or believing slave does Wudu and washes his face, every wrong thing that he looked at with his eyes comes out from his face with the water or with the last drop of water. When he washes his hands, every wrong thing that he did with his hands comes out from his hands with the water or with the last drop of water. When he washes his feet every wrong thing that he walked to with his feet comes out from his feet with the water or with the last drop of water, until he emerges cleansed of sin.” (Muslim).

“(On the Day of Resurrection) You will have distinctive marks “Al-Ghurr-ul- Muhajjalun” which nobody among the peoples (except you) will have; you would come to me (at the Cistern of al-Kauthar) with blazing forehead and bright hands and feet on account of the traces of ablution.” (Muslim).

The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said: “Only the believer will remain with his ablution (sustaining it at all times).” (Saheeh al-Jamee).

This is the only way how you come closer to ALLAH and make your believe more strong on list Last Messenger (Prophet). As this is the only act which you will never get from Quran reading because this is Sunnah and our prophet show us how to do this.

Some people thought that it is not easy tounderstand Quran, because it is a heavenly book, but Allah SWT says in Quran“And certainly We have made the Quran easy for remembrance, but is there anyonewho will mind? 54:22”
If you will start to read Quran by heart and with positive intention thenabsolutely you will understand it, because Allah (SWT) helps you tounderstanding Quran.

The languageof Quran:

The language of Muhammad (SAWW) was Arabic so;Allah SWT send Quran in Arabic language that they could easily read, understandand obtain the best benefit of it, like Allah SWT says “So have We made it easyin your tongue that they may be mindful. 44:58” At another place Allah SWT says“Surely We have made it an Arabic Quran that you may understand. 43:3”

But there are many Muslims whose language is notArabic and they feel difficulty to understand Quran, there are two ways forthose people who belong to different nations and their language is not Arabic.
One is to learn Arabic language, so you can easily understand the Quran, but ifyou are unable to do this then the other option is to read the Quran in yourown language, which will comparatively less beneficial but again it will be thefine alternative. You can read the translation of Quran on internet, but becareful while reading Holy Quran online, because thereare also many fake Islamic websites on internet, so you should be careful.

Before reciting the Quran, you must ask refugefrom Allah SWT, because Shaytaan can easily reach to your minds and cangenerate wrong interpretations of verses in your minds. Allah SWT says in Quran“So when you recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytaan.16:98”
