Verily Allah
the Most High, stated:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ رِزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطْعِمُونِ
(الذاريات: 56
We
did not create Mankind or Jinn except that they should worship Me. I do not seek any
provision from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me .
[Surah
al-Dhaariyaat : Ayah 56-57].
This is a clear declaration that they
(mankind and Jinn) were created for the purpose of worship. They are
therefore obligated to concern [themselves] with their purpose of creation [in
a diligent and cautious manner]. In addition, [they are duty bound to] renounce
the pleasures of this world [by means of] asceticism.
This world is a dwelling of
evanescence'" we will live here with a finite period of time not a place
of perpetuity, a vessel of passage not as residence of delight, absolute
temperory not an eternal abode.
Accordingly,
those vigilant from amongst it's people are the
worshippers, and those who keep
remind themselves for day of
Judgment and his death.
