WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?

God did not create humans to simply wander aimlessly. Rather, we have a higher purpose - to acknowledge and worship God alone, so that we live upon the guidance of our Creator.  This guidance enables us to live a successful and blessed life in all aspects , as well as entry into Paradise and freedom from Hell. The test of one's faith is in using one's intellect and reasoning abilities to contemplate and recognize God's signs and to live according to His guidance.
