Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu
anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh.
I bear witness that
there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that
Muhammad (pbuh) is His servant and Messenger.
Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah,
I continue on the same subject of faith, my faith, and what Allah has commanded
us, Muslims and humanity, to believe.
As I mentioned last
week, Allah created Jinns and humans to worship Him alone, without associating
any other deities with Him in His worship.
While the Jinns are
responsible for their own actions, we, humanity, are also responsible for our
own actions. Therefore, Allah created humans and the universe with a purpose.
The purpose of human creation is that within the limits of their capacities,
they manifest the divine attributes within themselves. To achieve this
objective, Allah has given humans the appropriate faculties and capacities and
has placed the universe at their service. But that’s not all! It is essential
for humans to follow the laws set by Allah so that they receive the necessary
guidance to stay on the right path. How does Allah ensure that humans receive
His guidance? It is through His prophets and Messengers.
