The Quran's Focus on Purpose

The Quran emphasizes the importance of living a life of purpose rather than chasing after happiness as a goal. Purpose is the key to finding happiness, which becomes a byproduct of a purposeful life according to the Quran. By living a life of purpose, individuals have a sense of fulfillment and joy. Allah's guidance in the Quran leads individuals to a meaningful existence and shields them from a miserable life. The Quran does not explicitly talk about happiness but instead focuses on instilling purpose.
