Quote:Bismillah:
Allah created us for only one purpose and that is to worship him. He state in Quran: <b>"I have only created Jinns and men that they may worship Me; no support do I require from them nor do I require that they should feed Me." </b> (Chapter 51-56-57)
Our Prophet Mohammed pbuh says: <b>“Allah created this whole universe for the benefit of human beings. But He created the human beings for Himself”</b> We are created to adore Him as he adores us, to believe in Him. fear Him and obey His commands. He did not create us for any other purpose.
And if you want to know more about the meaning of the word “WORSHIP/Ibadah” in Islam then I guess sister Muslimah may enlighten us more on this subject.

Wael.
Splendid. You have provided us all with a fairly straightforward explanation for the self imposed limitations on your own intellectual latitude. But why you would imagine for a second that other thinking should people should accept those same limitations is beyond me.
You see, when not encumbered by those limitations, one is free to evaluate all the evidence at its face value, and not reject most of the historical record for purposes of theological convenience.
Sorry, but your claim that allah did this or that is a religious claim by definition, and cannot be shown to have any evidence. This clearly and inarguably separates it from rationality and reason. "God created this and that" is not supportable, it's a theistic claim.
