The purpose of life from an Islamic perspective is to devote
one’s life to God’s service and to cultivate an awareness and remembrance of
Him throughout all one’s activities, both spiritual and mundane. Devotion should arise spontaneously out of love
for God, awe of His majesty and gratitude for His many blessings.
Services assumes many forms – from formal acts of worship
such as prayer; to being charitable to one’s fellow-creatures; to studying and
advancing human knowledge; to raising children and working to earn an honest
living. Every good act that a believer
does with the intention of pleasing God is considered an act of worship, worthy
of reward in the Next Life.
