I will divide this topic in differente parts because it's long and it takes time to explain in sha Allah :)
This topic puzzles every human being at some point in his or her lifetime. Everybody at some time or another asks themselves the question " Why do I exist"? " For what purpose am I here on earth?" right? To answer the question " Why did God create man?" it must first be determined from which perspective the question is being asked.From the point of view of God , it would mean "What caused God to create human beings" but for us , it would mean " For what purpose did God create humans?" Both points of view intrigue the question " Why do I exist?" However this topic have even led numerous of philosophers to claim that we do not really exist and that the whole world is imaginary. The Greek philosopher Plato argued the everyday world of changeable things which man comes to know by the use of his senses , is not the primary reality but is a shadow world of appearences. According to some of the philosophers , Human existence is merely a product of chance. Humans most often turn to other human beings like themselves for the answers. However , the only place that clear and precise answers to these questions can be found is in the books of divine revelation. It was necessary that God reveal the purpose to man through His prophets , because human beings are incapable of arriving at the correct answer by themselves. All of the Prophets of Allah thaught their followers the answers to the question " Why did God create man " ?? In the Old Testament , it seems that it's more concerned with laws and the history of early man and the Jewish people than with answering the vital question concerning humanity's creation. Why did God create ? This question should be asked because humankind is not , in fact , the greatest creation. God says in Chapter Ghaafir : " Indeed the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind but most of mankind do not realize it" ( 40:57) To cut short, the composition of human beings is far less complex than the universe's composition. The Creator As you may know , naturally Creation is fundamentally the consequence of the divine attribute of being the Creator. A creator who does not create is something of a contradiction in terms right? But let's not misunderstand that God needs His creation. God is free from all needs , thus it is creation which needs Him., But , as the greatness of a writer becomes apparent in his writings , the divine creative attribute is manifest in creation. Creation in the true sense is unique to God alone. Allah describes Himself as the Creator in a variety of verses throughout the final revelation to emphasize to humankind that everything belongs to Him alone. " Allah created all things and He is the agent on which all things depend" ( 39:62) We all need to realize that nothing takes place in this universe without His permission. However , no evil or good can take place in this world without the permission of God , this is why it is futile and unecessary to turn to others besides God for help and protection. following in the next article
