PURPOSE OF LIFE

Its a wonderful text ✨💖

This testimony has blown me apart. May I live  for Him alone not for the things of this world.
Read it soberly please...

People ask me, What is the purpose of life?

And I respond:
In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and Allah wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the *end of my body*... but not the *end of me.*

I may live *60 to 100 years on earth*, but I am going to spend *much much more than trillions of years in eternity.*
This is the warm-up act ...the dress rehearsal. Allah wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..

We were made by *Allah and for Allah*, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to *make sense.*

Life is a series of problems:
*Either you are in one now,* OR *you're just coming out of one,* OR *you're getting ready to go into another one.*

The reason for this is that *Allah is more interested* in *your character* than *your comfort;* Allah is more interested in making *your life holy* than He is in making *your life happy.*

We can be *reasonably happy* here on earth, but that's not *the goal of life.* The goal is to grow in *character, in the prophet (saw) likeness.*

No matter how *good* things are in your life, there is always something *bad* that *needs to be worked on.*

And no matter how *bad* things are in your life, there is always something *good* you can *thank Allah* for.

You can focus on *your purposes*, or you can focus on *your problems:*

If you focus on your problems, you're going into *self-centeredness*, which is my problem, my issues, my pain. *But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto Allah and others.*

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?

Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism?  am I going to be driven by Allah's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, Allah, if I don't get anything else done today, *I want to know You more and love You better.*

Allah didn't put me on earth just to fulfill *a to-do list.* He's more interested in *what I am* than *what I do.*

That's why we're called *human beings*, not *human doings.*

--Happy moments, *PRAISE Allah.*
--Difficult moments, *SEEK Allah.*
--Quiet moments, *WORSHIP Allah.*
--Painful moments, *TRUST Allah.*
--Every moment, *THANK Allah.*

*--If you do not pass this  on, nothing will happen.*

But it will just be nice to pass it on to your friends and loved ones.....TQ.
