What is real life? Originally this phrase was used to denote the difference between an imaginary, virtual or ideal world. “Real life” has become a popular term in literature and on the Internet. Just as you see actors in different roles on the big screen of a movie and on the small screen of TV. Although these characters are completely fictional, they are actually representing or reflecting real characters. Today we will try to explain why man came into the world and is there actually real life? If you start reading any book of Shahra Afaq philosophy, it seems as if all the knots of life have been solved in it. What is life, how to live it, how to deal with troubles, how to erase sorrow, how to be calm in happiness, how much importance to give to wealth, how to find peace? Etc. Etc. Therefore, there is no aspect of life till death which is not discussed in any book of philosophy. I like to debate from the beginning. While reading the discussions, it seems as if every aspect of life has been scrutinized. But in reality, despite all this scrutiny, no such comprehensive meaning of life could be found which can fully satisfy man. It is said that life is the name of continuous struggle. What is that person whose life does not consist of struggle? The main difference between animals and humans is that humans strive to improve their lives apart from hunger, while animals do not have the sense to improve their lives. You listen to something and find yourself agreeing with it, and suddenly another argument comes from a gentleman that one should work day and night to make life better. For the sake of success, it is not humane to step forward by trampling on those who are inferior to you. There is no difference between such humans and those animals that cut each other for the sake of hunting. The goal of human life should be eternal peace. It is a great folly for man to forget the present and available moments and worry about the unseen future. The matter does not end here. Listen to another gentleman who says, “These are all philosophical speculations.” Reality has nothing to do with them. A person can be happy only if there is no trouble in his life. The situation is that the majority of people consider wealth as the main means of getting rid of trouble in life. There is a philosopher’s position, what kind of life was this, in which the only goal was to earn wealth. Anyone can earn money. Man’s position is much higher than earning wealth. Man gets respect and status not by wealth, but by his thoughts. Sometimes it seems that life is all about love. Relationships, relationships, friendships are actually the joy of life, but sometimes there are moments when you have to make heart-felt decisions about those people. About people you never thought of. Life is a great blessing of God. While every blessing has some use. No matter what kind of life someone lives, it has some purpose and objective. Those who do not live a purposeful life suffer from many deprivations in life and all kinds of incidents settle in their lives. There will be many of us who will have a motorcycle, there will be others who will have a car. Think! Why is a car made? The aim is that the person can easily travel in it. Reach your destination as soon as possible. When the same vehicle is no longer drivable, becomes boring, it is sold. That is, the thing for which the purpose is made is useful if it is useful in this purpose, when it deviates from the purpose and does not fulfill this purpose, then it is abandoned when the need ends. Let’s look at different things in life. Everything is beneficial as long as it is on “purpose”. The object is discarded as soon as the objective is completed. We should consider why Allah created us. Why was Ashraf Al-Makhluqat declared? Was man created without a purpose? No, not at all. According to Allah, there is a purpose in creating man. Therefore, in paragraph 18 and verse 115, it is said (translation) “Do you think that We have made you useless?”It is as if we are being teased and told that there is a reason for which man was created. This purpose of creation is described in para 29 verse 2 as follows (translation) “He who created death and life that you may be tested as to which of you is good.”From this verse, it is known that every action of a servant in life should be done purely for the pleasure of Allah and according to the prescribed method of Shariat. That is, we can also say that this life has been given to us in order to create fear of God and good morals in ourselves. Adopt asceticism and piety. Be a figure of humility. Awaken the spirit of Shariah within you. Sow the seed of divine love in your heart, try to be modest.
