One Verse Defines Life's Purpose
- Abdullah Oduro presents Quran 51:56 as the clear blueprint for human purpose: worship Allah.
- He frames worship broadly as servitude, submission, and aligning life to the Creator's will.
Life Is A Divine Test With Wisdom
- Allah created life as a test to see who does best in deeds and to draw people to know His names.
- Trials (loss, illness, divorce) are means to measure patience and reliance on God, not meaningless suffering.
Ignorance Doesn’t Negate Divine Wisdom
- Ignorance about God's reasons doesn't negate divine wisdom; absence of human knowledge ≠ absence of purpose.
- Trust that Allah's choices embody hikmah (wisdom) even if you cannot see the reasons.
