I have a great purpose


 



To love Allah means to be righteous. To be a model for others. If you do not have the ability to lead, you have the ability to be the change others need. Be yourself. Be what Allah created you for. A perfect being with a great purpose. 

No matter how much talent you have; whether small or great, your purpose is great in the simplest ways. Your purpose may be to say one kind word to someone who has great potential. And in that you share the greatness together. So never judge anybody, for greatness lies not in money or power, but in righteousness. And, never underestimate your greatness, because our creator, creates great things in many different ways. 

Don't be mislead by bizarre ideas that tell you, you are not good enough. That tell you not to live or enjoy life, or that steer you in a certain direction. You were created with a purpose, and every action you take, is fulfilling your purpose. You will create great results if righteousness is your friend.

Although this world is not our permanent abode, it is a means to the hereafter. And part of earning a great reward, is remembering Allah constantly, and serving Him. So strive to be successful, enjoy each moment, and be the change you want to see. Enjoy this life all while being righteous.

If someone mocks at you, know that truly successful people are mocked often, yet they put those distractions aside, because deep down they know that the almighty is happy with them. He is using them to accomplish His will. They know that Allah will reward them immensely for obeying His commands.

Remember, “Man came to this world to be perfected by means of knowledge and supplication. In regard to his nature and abilities everything is tied to knowledge. And the foundation, source, light, and spirit of all true knowledge is knowledge of God, and its essence and basis is belief in God.” (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi)

Our ultimate purpose in life is to worship Allah. We were not created in vain. Allah is too great to create purposeless things. He the most-gracious says in the glorious Qur'an: "Do you think that We created you for nothing and that you will not be returned to Us? The true Sovereign is too exalted above that. (23:115-116)." He further says: "And I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me (Qur'an, 51:56-58)" and "[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving. (Quran, 67:2)"

Every breath we take, it was decreed by Allah. When the almighty plans, He plans perfectly. And we are part of His perfect plan. It is His will that we be the instrument of His results. It is His will that we serve Him great in the ways He has decreed for us.
