“WHY CREATED MANKIND?”

Roll number: FA19-BMC-008

Why do you think Allah (SWT) created mankind? In your opinion, what could be
the consequences if one forgets the purpose of his\her life?

The motivation behind making the humanity is love from the perspective of
humankind, the request "For what reason did God make man" gathers "For what
expectation was man made?" It is uncommon to discover somebody who has not
asked himself or others the inquiry: "What is the reason for our creation?" A
gathering of individuals persistently come into this world while another gathering
leave it, getting to be stifled for ever - what is the thought behind this traveling
every which way?

Mankind creation

“Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; then placed him as a
drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; then We fashioned the drop into a clot,
then We fashioned the clot into a little lump, then We fashioned the little
lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it
another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators!” [Al-Tiin 23:12-
14]
However, when a God-worshipping person asks himself this question, he never
finds himself in despair. Primarily, he knows that the Creator of this world is Wise
and therefore His act of creation is undoubtedly based on wisdom - although
some men might not be aware of it; secondly, viewing every part of himself, he
observes that each one possesses an objective. Not only the brain, heart, blood
vessels and the nerves, but even the nails, eyelashes, fingerprints, the depressions
in the palms and the feet; each has a philosophy attached to its presence which
has been identified and proven today. These inquiries are questions which each
and everybody of us ponders sooner or later during their life.
 The “despicable” water
Another context in which Allah mentions the creation of man, is how he
originates from a “lowly” water viz. human semen. Whilst the first human being
was created and fashioned from dust, his progeny continued on earth via this
water:

“Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?” [The Quran
77:20]

Man is not the greatest act of creation, this universe is far more complex and far
more magnificent than man. So the issue of creation should then go to, "Why did
God create?", as opposed to simply, "Why create man?" Fundamentally, we can
say that the creation is the natural consequence of the attribute of creator. Allah
is the creator. That is one of his attributes. That is what he has informed us. That
being his attribute, the creator, the natural consequence or the product of this
attribute is his creation.
"The creation of the Heavens and the Earth is indeed greater then the
creation of mankind; yet, most of mankind know not” [Al-Qur'an 40:57]
Right when a Muslim keeps an eye regarding this matter, we have to find our
understanding from Divine Revelation and not human speculation. Since human
hypothesis has no restrictions; we can imagine a wide scope of things and if any
of you has inspected thinking of religion, you will acknowledge what number of
sentiments there are about the creation of man and nearness. Because of the
grouping of strategies for thinking which are out there, it's not possible for anyone
to state this one is correct or that one is mixed up, in light of the fact that there is
no heading behind it. No Divine Revelation. It is simply from Divine Revelation that
we can choose reality of our creation, since it is Allah who has made us along
these lines He knows the explanation behind our creation. We can scarcely grasp
it ourselves, significantly less endeavoring to fathom the pith of things. So it is for
Allah to exhort us through the exposure in the Qur'an and the sunnah (the
Prophetic traditions) which were brought to us by His Last Messenger and the
Messengers before him.
By and by if we are to take a gander from the outset into exposure, to choose for
what reason was man made, there is an increasingly significant request that we
should show before that.
If we forgets the purpose of life?
Muslims believe that Almighty Allah is the only creator of this world and all other
things which are present in this world.
Allah says, “I have not created men except that they should serve Me”
[Al-Quran, 51:56]
The first stage is the plain call, if you didn’t respond you would be exposed to more
difficult treatment which is the disciplinary punishment. You should certainly
believe that The Almighty Allah loves you and he won’t leave you to do whatever
you like, you should certainly know that you either come to him obedient or
compelled. Someone asked me about the essence of my call to Allah, I said in a
sense of humor, the summary of my call to Allah in the modern expression, which
is you either come to him running or he will make you come to him running, you
whether come to him obedient with initiative from you or you come to him
repentant and regretful or almighty Allah shall make you come compelled
Someone told me, once when the season was profitable and when he gained lots
of money, this story is in the seventies, he told me: I wanted to travel to a distant
country without my wife to spend huge amount of money on my lusts and desires,
but when I arrived there I felt pain in my back, so I went to the hospital, the
diagnosis was tumor in the spinal cord, I came back to my country, and I went from
mosque to mosque, and from doctor to doctor, almighty Allah recovered him and
restore his health.
Allah Almighty says in Quran:
“Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose) and that you
would not be brought back to Us?” (Quran 23:115)
