n Islam, the purpose of life is to worship Allāh, obey His guidance, and live in a way that brings one closer to Him. Worship in Islam is not limited to rituals but encompasses every aspect of life, aiming to please Allāh by following His commands and leading a righteous life. This purpose provides meaning, fulfillment, and a path to ultimate peace and success in the Hereafter.
Allāh says in the Qur’an:
“And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.”
— Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:56)
This verse highlights that life’s ultimate purpose is rooted in worshiping and serving Allāh alone, fostering a deep connection with the Creator and fulfilling the reason for our existence.
