What is the essence of human existence?
“Manush” (human) was so named because he has “Manas” a mind higher than that of the animals. Animals eat, live and die. Man uses his mind to do many things. Human beings are the highest of all creation. The rest of the creation is intended for the use of human beings. How you use is dependent on your mantal attitude. Animals exist. Humans live. Paramatma has chosen you, and every other person for a particular purpose. The aim of life is to understand the greatness of the creator. And to search for the purpose for which a soul is given human life. This purpose differs from person to person because it is dependent on the past Karma of the soul. The essence of life is to understand this purpose.
In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful. The essence of human existence is to acknowledge the existence of your creator, the one true God and worship him and him alone on his terms and conditions.When one submits himself to Allah the almighty completely ,he would be in a state of peace with his lord, with himself and with society.He is then ready to take on the blessings of God like family life,education, earnings,marriage and utilise all these in a moderate and lawful way and would also be blessed and rewarded for all the good that he does and punished for the evil that is done.This life is nothing but a test for the life after death. Read a translation of the holy Quran to get a truthful idea of our existence.
