Transcript of Who am I?
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Why am I here?
Where am I leading?
Are we created just to eat, drink and enjoy
ourselves?
Have we ever wonder about the reason
for our existence?
Have we ever wonder about what will
happen to us at the end?
As one poet says;
I do not know whence I have come
I saw my feet walking on the road
as they please I go and stop
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know!
I do not know!
Indeed Many of Us are
in the Same Track !!!
What Islam Says About
… Me ?
… My Creation ?
… My Existence ?
“Allah is the creator of all things, and He is
the guardian over all things”
[Glorious Qur’an –39:62]
He Created Everything !!!
“O Mankind!, be dutiful to your Lord, Who
created you from a single person, and from him
He created his wife, and from them both He
created many men and women”
[Glorious Qur’an –4 : 1]
Further He says;
“O mankind! We have created you from a male
and a female, and made you into nations
and tribes, that you may know one another.
Verily, the most honourable of you with
Allah is that who has
At – Taqwa [righteousness /God consciousness]”
[Glorious Qur’an –49 : 13]
“Did you think that We had created you in play
and that you would not be brought back to us?”
[Glorious Qur’an – 23 : 115]
Now ! Allah is questioning us…
“Does the man think that he will be left
neglected”[Glorious Qur’an – 75 : 36]
Further He says…
Indeed, Allah has created human being for a purpose…
So, what is the purpose ?
“And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind
except that they should worship Me”
[Glorious Qur’an – 51 : 56]
He reminds us about the
covenant that we gave to
Him !!!
Allah says…
And remember when your lord brought forth from the children of
Adam their descendant and make them testify concerning themselves
[saying]: “Am I not your Lord?” they said, “Yes, we testify to it”
[this] in case you say on the Day of Judgment, “We were unaware of
this”. Or in case you should say, “ it was our ancestors who made
partners [with Allah] and we are only their descendants. Will
you then destroy us for what those liars did?”
[Glorious Qur’an – 7 : 172-173]
So it is our duty to submit and surrender our will
to the will of Allah
regardless of what other people do!!!
This submission and surrender will make us as
Muslims
What is so special about
being a Muslim ?
Allah says;
“And thus We have made you a just/median
community that you will be witnesses over the
people and the messenger will be a witness over
you”
[Glorious Qur’an – 2 : 143]
Allah (SWT) calls us as a Just/Median
community
This is a title
This title is given to us with a noble job
If we don’t do the job, we are not worthy enough to
carry the title
• Allah say we are witnesses over the people
What kind of a witness it is?
That means; people living around us
should witness that this is the correct
way of life by looking at our behaviour
This title and the job will be carried
until the day of resurrection
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
said;
Narrated Abu Sa`id: Allah's Apostle said, "Noah and his nation will
come (on the Day of Resurrection and Allah will ask (Noah), "'Did
you convey (the Message)?” He will reply, “Yes, O my Lord! ”
Then Allah will ask Noah's nation, “Did Noah convey My
Message to you? ” They will reply, “No, no prophet came to us”
Then Allah will ask Noah, “Who will stand a witness for you? ”
He will reply, “Muhammad and his followers (will stand witness
for me)” So, I and my followers will stand as witnesses for him
(that he conveyed Allah's Message). That is, (the interpretation)
of the Statement of Allah: "Thus we have made you a just and the
best nation that you might be witnesses Over mankind ..“ (2.143)
{Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol 6, Hadeeth no 14}
Are we really doing the Job?
We can not do our best in our
responsibility until we realize the
truth, learn it and put it to practice
completely
For the perfection
Allah (SWT) says…
“O you who believe! Enter in to Islam
perfectly”
[Glorious Qur’an – 2: 208]
Therefore we have to follow Islam
completely
We have to enjoin good and forbid evil in
the society
The greatest evil is the worship of gods
beside the true creator; Allah (SWT)
So it is our duty to help the people realize
the TRUE GOD !!!
Allah (SWT) says;
“You are the best of people ever raised up for
mankind; you enjoin good and forbid evil and
you believe in Allah”
[Glorious Qur’an – 3 : 110]
We have been created by Allah (SWT)
To submit our will to the Will of Allah
To obey His commands
To worship Him alone
To be a witness for the people around us
To enjoin good and forbid evil !!!
Alhamdulillah (all praise is to Allah);
I have come to this world with a
PURPOSE
I’m leading my life with a GOAL
My path is CLEAR
Now I’m walking through it with a
HOPE !!!
