The purpose of life is to worship Allah- Ilyas

In a lecture held on the topic “The purpose of life’, Deputy Leader of the scholarly committee of the religious right-wing Adaalaath Party, Ilyas Hussein has said that the purpose of life is to worship Allah.

The emotional preacher of Adaalaath Party said that faith in Allah gives the believer the purpose of life that he needs. Saying that the purpose of life is to worship Allah, Ilyas said that the term "Worship" covers all acts of obedience to Allah.

Ilyas said that in Islamic doctrine every human act both in material and spiritual life is predestined, yet it is incorrect to believe the action of fate is blind, arbitrary, and relentless. Without denying divine interference in human affairs, human liberty is kept intact.  He said that it does not discount the principle of man’s moral freedom and responsibility. 

The charismatic preacher also said that man is not a helpless creature borne along by destiny but rather, each person is responsible for his acts.  He said that lethargic individuals indolent to ordinary affairs of life are to blame themselves, not the Divine Predecree. 

Ilyas further said that man is bound to obey the moral law; and he will receive merited punishment or reward as he violates or observes that law.  “However, if such is so, man must have within his power the ability to break or keep the law. God would not hold us responsible for something unless we were capable of doing it,” he said.

In the lecture, Ilyas said that this attack aims at domination and hegemony over the Islamic world; dividing it, attacking it culturally and morally and perverting the true image of the Religion.

Furthermore, Ilyas said that it might be his last lecture and said that high ranking officials of the government target him and allege that he will be investigated for extremist preachings.

Deputy Leader of the scholarly committee of the religious right-wing Adaalaath Party said that he does not fear his enemies and that he puts his trust in Allah.
