To live my life with respect for others, and doing what is right to the best of my abilities.

W'Salaam.

My answer would be a combination of the above statements. I see my life as an exam...fulfilling my duties in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah for a pass into Jannah, insh'Allah.

Re: What Is Our Purpose of our Life

All of the elements listed are only a means to achieve the purpose of life in this world ...

> Life in general was Created so Allah (SWT) becomes known
> Life on the Earth (human and jinn) is so people can be Selected to go to paradise as opposed to damnation

The purpose of something can only be seen from the perspective of the owner of that thing. Since we are not owners of our lives any purpose we draw for ourselves will be deficient. However, from the POV of Allah (SWT) the two answers above are the succinct answers to the question.

The points above in the OP stem from these two reasons ...

Peace,

I was reading the life of our Prophet Muhammad how He struggled hard to spread the religion Islam. Isn't its our duty to spread Islam and stop (caution pplz from doing sin) wrong doing as it is narrated in hadith to stop the worng doing (sin) and the weakest point is considered a wrong doing (sin) is your heart rather than stoping it and in Qur'an stated "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression". That is what trigged me to ask myself 'what is our purpose of our life and what I am doing?'.

Re: What Is Our Purpose of our Life

In ancient times before Islam came at the place called Pakistan, a great Sanskrit philosopher named Charwak lived (no Pakistani even tries to remember their forefathers, they are fed with the lie that there was ignorance all around before Islam).
CHARWAK said
" yawat jiwet sukham jiwet, rinam kritwa ghritam pibet"
This meant that forget it there is no God, Till the lst you live you live with pleasure, even if you have to take loans for such pleasures.
Tell me who has seen God or when you talk of religion _ was it your choice to select a religion. All this is imposed upon you by your parents and the you have been rules by rotten ideas of 'mazhab ke thekedaars'.

In what year did Charwak live? And why is his idea more accurate than what our parents have given us? I ask because according to me the quote you have given only supports the idea that "there was ignorance all around before Islam".
