Ep. 9: What Is the Purpose of Life? | Islam and Evidence

from Multilingual Islam Connect · host Multilingual Islam Connect

Every framework humans use to answer this — pleasure, success, legacy, love — eventually runs out. Pleasure ends. Success fades. Legacy is forgotten. The Quran gives a different answer in chapter 51, verse 56: "I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." This episode unpacks what the Arabic word ibadah actually means — not just ritual, but all of life oriented toward God — and explores why a purpose that doesn't expire changes how you experience even the smallest moments. Including why a smile carries the weight of charity.
