14 The Struggle of the Messengers

So set your face firmly towards the Religion as a pure natural
believer, Allah's natural pattern on which He made humanity.
There is no changing Allah's Creation. That is the true
Religion, but most people do not know it. (Surat ar-Rum, 30)
The information revealed in this verse is very important, for it
reveals that human beings were created only to serve Allah. In
other words, serving Him is their nature. Allah "breathed His
Spirit" into them and created them out of nothing, and then
molded them into human form from "a drop of water" (sperm)
and sent them to this world for a short time. Human beings must
know that they are Allah's creatures and constantly thank Him for
this. Once they understand this truth, they will live in this
transient world according to His purpose: to mature and prepare

themselves for their real home, the hereafter. This manner of
living accords with human nature.
It is revealed in Surat ar-Rum 30 that humanity's only purpose
is to serve Allah, yet most people are unaware of this great truth.
Allah reveals in other verses that a person's self causes him to
forget that he is one of Allah's creations and the clear truth that
Allah exists. For this reason, most people are unaware of Allah's
existence, that they were created, and therefore are responsible to
our Creator, Allah. This is described thus in the Qur'an:
Does not humanity see that We created him from a drop? Yet
there he is, an open antagonist! He makes likenesses of Us and
forgets his own creation, asking: "Who will give life to bones
when they are decayed?" Say: "He Who made them in the first
place will bring them back to life. He has total knowledge of
each created thing." (Surah Ya Sin, 77-79)
