My brothers and sisters many people when they go through hardship and difficulty in life

They begin to ask a question. Why am I living?

What am I living for?

The idea is

The struggles make them think

That there is no point to live without realizing that

What is the point of dying? I mean, why should I die? That's another question. If you are asking

Why should I live? I want to ask you, well, why should you die? You might say it will solve my problems

And if I tell you it will actually create a bigger problem, what would you say?

And this is why more and more people because of the challenges that we face on earth today

Begin to ask a question. Why am I living without realizing you would only know the true answer of why you are living if you were prepared to go and study or to learn or to ask people

Why exactly were we brought onto earth in the first place?

Allah says, I have not created mankind or mankind except that they will ship me. So what is worship of Allah?

Worship of Allah primarily is to understand who he is and what he wants from you. He is your maker

And he has only made you on earth for a very short time between 60 and 70 years on average. Most people go in that age

Those who have lived a little bit longer are fortunate. They have seen a little bit more of the world

But do you understand point number one, the temporary nature of this existence on this particular earth

That does not mean you are going to come to an end

But rather the body you are in right now will come to an end and then your soul goes into a different life altogether where it will not have the same body

But Allah will grant it whatever he wishes. Once you understand the temporary nature of this earth

You will begin to realize that whether I like it or not, I have to die
