Continuation of the book What is Islam

Such is, along with the angels, the case for the noblest

among humankind.

To be a true servant of God is the ultimate goal for

humankind. There can be no greater goal. In fact, this is the only

goal that can bring true solace to the soul of humans because this is

the goal that is recognized deep within the person’s soul. As noted

earlier, this wanting to know and worship one’s Lord is something

deep within the natural make-up of mankind. Without finding this

reality, man can never find true happiness.

Furthermore, the most exalted, noble, and honored a human

can be is by worshipping Allah. There is nothing greater or nobler

than that. That is the maximum potential. This is something that

should be clear to every human. The more he moves to that goal, the

happier he should become and the more honor he should feel by

submitting himself to the only true God and Lord. When he realizes

this fact, his efforts should be exerted to maximize this potential

Actually, when a person realizes that he has only one, clear

goal, the effects upon his soul are profound. He need not chase after

an endless array of goals, never being able to satisfy or achieve any of

them completely. (Indeed, many times people’s goals are

contradictory and they can never achieve all of them.) His energies

need not be exhausted trying to serve a myriad of goals. When he has

one goal and one goal alone, he can easily g auge whether he is

moving towards achieving that goal or not. He can put all of his

energy and thought into working towards that one ultimate goal. He

can be certain about his goal and his path will be clear. Hence, he has

no reason to be filled with doubt or confusion. As he moves

closer and closer to that one ultimate goal, he can experience true joy and

contentment. Allah has described the state of he who recognizes and

seeks the true worship of only one God as opposed to those who seek

after many goals and gods .

Note that although this is the ultimate purpose for humankind,

Allah is actually not in need of human worship.

If this is the case, who then actually benefits from the worship

of Allah? It is actually the human who chooses to worship who

benefits from the act of worship. He has benefited by purifying his

soul, bring tranquility to his heart and, most importantly, by having

the correct relationship with God .

A piece of advice and an invitation from a well-wisher for you .

I invite you, my dear brother, to Islam and to believe in God Almighty. He alone is worthy of worship. The purpose of our creation is to worship God alone, without any partners.
