What’s the point of life? I can’t seem to find any meaning in it.
The point of this universe is the creation of true friends of God. As I have said elsewhere, the possibility of creating a single true friend of God may be sufficient to justify the creation of the whole universe, especially when you consider the fact that it costs God nothing to create a universe.
God says:
I did not create the jinn and the humans except to worship Me.
The Quran, verse 51:56.
He also says:
The life of this world is nothing but diversion and play, and the Home of the Hereafter is the Life, if they only knew.
The Quran, verse 29:64.
So everything in this life is a silly game except for the worship of God, which is the purpose of life.
By “friend of God” I mean saintly individuals who love God and serve Him despite the fact that they have no hard evidence of His existence and despite life’s difficulties.
