know throughout his life by means of Divine religions. All in-
formation pertaining to a fulfilling and rewarding life both in
this world and beyond is provided to man. This basic purpose
of righteous religions, conveyed to man through messengers
and books, is given in many verses in the Qur'an:

…We have sent down the Book to you making all things
clear and as guidance and mercy and good news for the
Muslims. (Surat an-Nahl: 89)
We have sent it down with truth and with truth it has come
down. We only sent you to bring good news and to give
warning. (Surat al-Isra': 105)

Then We gave Moses the Book, complete and perfect for
him who does good, elucidating everything, and a guidance
and a mercy, so that hopefully they will believe in their en-
counter with their Lord. (Surat al-An'am: 154)

In the Qur'an Allah Explains the Real
Purpose of Life

Throughout world history, billions of people came into
23
being, lived and then died. Only a minority of these people en-
deavored to grasp the real purpose of life. The rest simply drift-
ed with the daily flow of events and spent their lives in vain
pursuits. Basically, fulfilling their own desires became their
main purpose in life. An unconscious and irresponsible atti-
tude underlay this dominant mode of behavior in almost all so-
cieties throughout the ages. Every generation, with a few ex-
ceptions, repeated the errors of the preceding ones and simply
adopted the purposes and values of their forefathers. This is a
vicious cycle still repeated today.
