What is the
Purpose of
Creation?
 Allah,
The Perfect Designer and Fashioner,
created the universe
and everything in it,
for a definite Purpose and made them follow a System.
 Alla
The All Knowledgeable and the Ultimate Reckoner,
Created the Heavens and the Earth for a Definite Purpose. h
He sent man to inhabit the earth for a limited time,
sent him clear guidance
to carry out a specific TASK.
In the End
man will return to his Creator Ma
for a complete accountability of his PERFORMANCE. n

Life on the earth has been made
alluring, a trap and a test.

The World – Al-Duniya – The Temporary Abode

 Allah (swt) Guaranteed the Perfection of the System
“… al yauma akmaltu lakum Deenakum wa atmamtu `alaykum
neymati wa radhitum lakumul Islama Deena …” (5:3)
‘…this day have I perfected your Way of Life for you and
completed My Favor upon you and chosen Islam as your
Deen…’
He (swt) completed the Deen with Details & Examples
“… ma farratna fil Kitabe min shai …” (6:38)
‘…nothing have We omitted from the Book…’
“Wa laqad sarrafna fi haazal Qura`ne linnase min qulli
masal…” (18:54)
‘And indeed We have put forth every kind of example in
this Qura`n for mankind…’
 He (swt) then Commanded Man to…
“… udkhulu fis-Silme kaafah …” (2:208)
‘…enter into Islam wholeheartedly…’

And to Pledge…
“… samae`na wa `ata`na wattaqu Allah …” (5:7)
‘…we hear and we obey and fear Allah…’
Submitting his Whole Life to His Purpose…
“Inna Salati wa Nusuki wa Mahyayah wa Mamati Lillahi
Rabbul `Aalameen…” (6:162)
‘indeed, my prayer, my spirit of sacrifice, my living and my
dying are for the Lord of the Universe…’
 Our Failure:
Sub-Total Approach

We must, therefore, Rediscover and Re-

implement the ENTIRE SYSTEM in our Lives
– regardless of where we may be

For there will be no excuse acceptable, such as…

“… kunna mustadafeena fil Arde …” (4:97)
‘…weak and oppressed were we in the earth…’

Islam, indeed, promises the perfect solutions to every affair

in this Duniya and the only means of success in the Aakhirah
Barriers to
Achieving
the
Purpose
 Common Confusions & Barriers

Deen vs. Religion

Deen is an entire System of Life,
Religion relates to its Spiritual Component only

Deen vs. Duniya

Deen al-Islam covers Duniya & Aakhirah as one whole

Is Islam only a Spiritual and Moral code?

Spiritual & Moral are the core components of
Islam’s Comprehensive System
 Common Confusions & Barriers (contd.)
Purposeful vs. Ritual
Perfection leaves no room for Ritual – every iota has a
Purpose
Revealed vs. Man-devised
Revealed covers Duniya & Aakhirah, Man-devised covers
Duniya alone
Methodology vs. Skills, Tools & Technology
Methodology is linked to Ideology, it must never change -
Skills, Tools & Technology are a product of man’s
discovery of Allah’s infinite knowledge, they must be
sought, learnt, excelled in and used to Serve Him best
To establish His Prescribed System on the earth
 “Verily this is My Way leading straight: follow it;
follow not (other) paths: they will scatter you about from His Path:
Thus does He command you, that ye may be righteous” al-An`am, 6:153

• In Life – some elements - Islam -

of other systems may seem The Straight Path
compatible with Islam Al-Sirat-ul
Mustaqeem
Batil Ways
• Because they address the Crooked Paths

• However, all man-made ways

basal and worldly desires Origins

• The paths may cross

• But, beware of their Origins! In Qura`n &
Sunnah
What is the
Islamic
System?
 What is a System?
(Webster’s Dictionary Definitions)
 ‘A set or arrangement of things so related or connected as to form
a unity or organic whole, as the solar system, irrigation system…’
 ‘…a group of substances in or approaching equilibrium’ (as in
chemistry)
 ‘a number of bodily organs acting together to perform one of the
main bodily functions, as the circulatory system, digestive system’
 ‘An assemblage of objects arranged after some distinct method’
 ‘The body as functional unity’

 ‘a whole scheme of created things regarded as forming one

complete whole; universe, the world’
Without any of its parts, or substituting one from another system, it
ceases to be a System

The Community of Muslims:
Firmly organized - around
The Purpose of Allah (swt)
In the exact manner shown by
the Prophet Muhammed (saw)
 We must, once again,
become an Ummah of:

Doers, not idle Talkers

Leaders, not just Followers

Producers, not mere Consumers

 Three Modes of
ACTION:
 Driven by other forces
Out of control, weak and oppressed …
 Blindly following others
Accepting the status quo, riding the tide,
adjusting to fit, apologizing …
 Leading others
Taking Control
