Welcome to “The Human Manual” – Finding Guidance from the Holy Qur’an. Let’s embark on a journey trying to find the purpose of life. Questioning who has the ultimate rights of determining right from wrong. Searching for the True God. Wanting to be guided by God Himself.
Most people will not bother to ask oneself what is the purpose of being alive. They just follow what society does. When there is a problem in life, most will fall into depression and started thinking that life is meaningless. If a person believed in God and knows why God created him, then he has a purpose in being alive even though society think nothing of him. Most materialistic people will be conscious of what people think of him and he will put on a show that he is better than the next person while belittling a person that he is jealous of. This person does not understand the purpose of life.
A product created by human, eg. the Washing Machine, will come with a manual on how to operate the device correctly. If you keep doing it incorrectly, it will destroy the device.
The Quran is a manual for human to refer to. If human keep doing the opposite of what the Quran has stated, it will make human being becoming a miserable species.
The goal of the Quran is to guide people towards achieving Taqwa: God consciousness. Fear, hope and love of the Master with acts of worship, obeying His commandments, refraining from His prohibitions. The result is Jannah, Paradise for eternity.
If you were with the Jews who saw the sea parted into two, you would be overwhelmed by that miracle. However we did not see this miracle. The Qur’an is an on-going miracle. Therefore the same feeling that was felt by the Jews during the time of Moses (a.s) should be experienced by the Muslims nowadays when reading the Qur’an.
