− creation is that he should obey God. It is, therefore, imperative that one should keep this purpose constantly in mind. According to Islam, the object of human life is its complete − spiritual transition, to worship One God and serve His creations. It teaches that everyone has the seed of perfect development, and it rests solely with a person to achieve or realize the full potential, or let it remain unaccomplished. Islam does not support the idea that man is born in sin. − Humans are the best of creation, according to Islam. − God Almighty says in the Holy Qur’an: − ÍÌ´M ÅnYA Ó¯ ÆBnÃÜA BÄ´¼a f´» ,‘ î æ ê æ ä ê ä æ ä æ ê ä ä ææê ä æ ä ä æ ä ä laqad khalaqnal insana fi ahsani taqwim − − ± − Surely, We have created man in the best of creative plans. (95:5) gave this response Hadrat Khalifatul Masih IV to the following aba ± ± − − ± question from a Christian: What is the purpose of life according to the Islamic faith? He stated: − "The purpose of life should be the same in all Divinely revealed faiths. It has to be so because in the faiths that have originated from God, the purpose cannot differ - that is impossible. This is exactly what the Holy Qur’an has mentioned. It states that all religions, whatever they were, − wherever they originated, in whatever age, they all taught the same basic fundamentals that the purpose of life is to return to God -- consciously, not through death -- by paying homage to God, and by worshipping Him with all sincerity, without calling on any partners alongside God. God Almighty says in the Holy Qur’an: − ¸¼J³ Å¿ ÅÍh»AË ¸´¼a Ðh»A ¸Ii AËfJ§A pBÄ»A BÈÍBÍ ‘ ‘ ‘ æ å ê æ ä æ ê ä æ ê ì ä æ å ä ä ä æ ê ì å å ì ä æ å å æ å ì ä í ä ê 21
