Ibadat:

Ibadat:

1. Ibadat is the reason behind man’s existence:

Ibadat is the reason behind our existence on the face of the earth. If a student heads to a western country seeking a PhD, and has no other goal than that, we say to him: The reason behind your existence in that country is getting your PhD, and anything serving that purpose is permissible, while, on the other hand, anything distracting you from it is prohibited.

Once you know that the ultimate goal and reason behind your existence on earth is Ibadat, you should choose from the data in your life and whatever is available in your environment that meets your goal, and this is what we call success, this what we call prosperity, and this what we call triumph. The reason for your existence is to worship Allah, in the same way as the reason for the student’s existence in that country is to seek a PhD.

When goals are clear, means get clear too, and I am sorry to say that 97 percent of the youth in the developing countries have no goals and thus lead their lives according to materialistic motivations, temptations, or merely act on impulse.

Knowing the secret and the purpose of your existence is the fundament of everything, and we have been told by the Noble Qur’an that the reason for our existence is to worship Allah Most High, and were it not for this evidence, it could have been a controversial matter. Allah Most High says:

(I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.)

[Surat Al Dhariyat, ayah 56]
