Purpose Of Life And Knowing The Path To Your Lord
Allaah says
*“And I have not created Jinn nor man, except to worship Me.”*
[51:56]
👤Imam Ibn ‘Abdil-‘Izz Al-Hanafee (d. 729H) said:
*“The key to their (The Messengers) call and the essence of their message was the servants drawing closer to Allaah – the Most Perfect – through His Names, Attributes and Actions, since all that the Messengers were ordered with is built upon this. Then this is followed by two great principles:*
*Firstly: Knowing the path that leads to Him and that is the Sharee’ah which comprises His orders and prohibitions.*
*Secondly: That those following the path know what lies in store for them, which is endless bliss.*
*So the people who know God best are the ones who best follow the way to Him; and know best what lies at the end of the way.”*
