Page 19 - Solution, the values of the Qurʼan

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 17

Qur'an, Allah informs us of His purpose in creating man: "I only created

jinn and man to worship Me." (Surat adh-Dhariyat: 56)
Everyone will die one day. Then his real and eternal life will begin. The
purpose of this life is to strive to be a person of whom Allah approves and
whom He will host in His Garden. The conduct, ideals, and beliefs of every
man will determine whether he will spend his eternal life in the hereafter
in the Fire or in the Garden. For this reason, that these people mindlessly
spend time on idle and worthless jobs, devoting their lives to them, and
behaving as if their existence on earth has no purpose, shows that these
people must urgently be warned and awakened from the heedlessness in
which they live.
Being aware that our purpose in the world is to earn Allah's approval,
favor and the Garden, we cannot remain indifferent or insensitive to any
event taking place around us. We know that every event is an opportunity
to earn Allah's approval, and thus we will always act accordingly. We feel
pangs of conscience whenever we witness injustice or oppression taking
place in our vicinity or in the world. For instance, we feel the responsibility
of each homeless boy, who lives in difficulty, and has to spend his life on
the streets in the cold winter. Complying with the command of Allah in His
verses, "So, as for orphans, do not oppress them, and as for beggars, do
not berate them." (Surat ad-Duha: 9-10), we will treat them kindly. We will

strive to find a way to save them from the unfavorable circumstances in
which they live. Yet, we are aware that these children cannot be saved by
our efforts or those of a few people behaving in compliance with the
Qur'an. For this reason, we will strive for the values of the Qur'an and the
Sunnah to be spread among people.

Selfishness is Caused by Purposelessness
Purposelessness makes people, and societies alike, selfish and

indifferent. They tend to mind only their own interests and show no
response or pay interest to events happening around them. A person
whose singular aim is to live his life, among all the events taking place
