I then delve into our purpose in life and the soul's ultimate return to its final resting place. How do we best prepare for that by constantly seeking God's pleasure and striving to do actions that are pleasing to Him throughout one journey in life? وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَآ ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَـٰذَا غَـٰفِلِينَ ١٧٢ “˹Remember˺ when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ˹Allah asked,˺ “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are! We testify.” ˹He cautioned,˺ “Now you have no right to say on Judgment Day, ‘We were not aware of this.’” — Qur’an 7:172 #Islam [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/islam] #islamicPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/islamicpodcast] #islamicReel [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/islamicreel] #muslimPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/muslimpodcast] #God [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/god] #purposeoflife [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/purposeoflife]
