The duty of the human being in this world is to responsibly care for the trust which we have been given: to have freewill, to exercise self-reflection, to worship and know one’s Lord, to live and work in harmony with the creation and to adopt one’s correct position to God and life. We are here to love, to appreciate, to learn and to move on. Worship is only for the Creator, not for the created. If you worship the created, then you will find yourself in loss, because whatever is created is going to change; it will disappear and die before your eyes. If you worship the Creator, you find yourself fixed on that which never changes or dies.
Over time, verily the human being is in loss, except such as have faith and do righteous deeds and band together in the mutual enjoining of Truth, Patience and Constancy. (SURAH AL-ASR, HOLY QUR’AN 103)
- Sheikh Din Muhammad al-Dayemi
