We were created for the sole purpose of worshiping God alone, which is why idol worship is the only unforgivable offense.1, 2
The Messenger of the Covenant's duties include proclaiming one religion for all people and purging the corruptions afflicting Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, explaining the purpose of life, and establishing a criminal justice system.1, 2, 3
We are in this world because we committed a horrendous crime, and this life is our chance to redeem ourselves, denounce that crime, and rejoin God's kingdom.1
People who protest that God created them to undergo this test do not realize that they committed a horrendous crime and chose the test instead of redeeming themselves.1
With this Testament God's message to the world is complete, answering who we are, our purpose, our origin, our destiny, the right religion, and evolution or creation.1, 2
We are in this world because we failed to take a firm stand for God's absolute authority in the heavenly society, and we are here to denounce that and return to God.1, 2, 3
Humans were given a second chance in this world so that those who end up in Hell cannot claim they were not given another chance; all excuses are being nullified.1, 2, 3, 4
The Quran is a message from God, proven to be from God, telling us who we are, why we are here, where we are going, and how to attain perfect happiness now and forever.1
We are on earth to worship God and to discover that God is the only master.1
The creation of the universe is for the test.1
When Satan's blasphemy occurred billions of years ago, some of us were swept along with the crowd, God knew this, and so we deserved the chance to come here to be redeemed.1, 2, 3
Just as people study and work hard for decades to secure this life and retirement, we must work far harder for the eternal life after resurrection, which is the most important period.1, 2, 3
The Quran puts things in perspective by teaching that the most important part of our life comes after death.1
Life exists only on Earth because Earth was created as Satan's dominion, where humans are temporarily placed to repent for their initial transgression and develop their souls.1, 2
Our job in this world is to redeem ourselves, and our rank on returning depends on how much we develop our souls.1, 2, 3
The fortunate ones learn from their God given lessons, catch their rebellious nature, and correct it to be redeemed back to God's kingdom.1, 2, 3
God's plan is that the rebels are put to death, brought into this world for the test while angels serve and guard them, and afterwards each is redeemed to God's kingdom or sent to hell.1, 2, 3, 4
Before the creation of the heavens and the earth our souls bore witness that only God is our Lord, and now body and soul declare it again.1, 2
The goal of our life is to recognize that God alone is to be worshiped.1
The whole purpose of our creation is to show the angels that we, without seeing God, will worship God alone without partners.1, 2, 3
When Satan blasphemed billions of years ago there were degrees of conviction among us; some were swept by the crowd and deserve a chance at redemption, and God grants them the true message.1, 2, 3
God created the heavens and the earth to redeem those who deserve it so they can rejoin His kingdom; those who fail are exiled from His kingdom, which is Hell.1, 2, 3
We are in this world because we committed a gross crime billions of years ago, and God, out of mercy, gave us a chance to redeem ourselves by denouncing idol worship.1, 2, 3, 4
Anything is forgivable except idol worship maintained until death, because we are here to establish that only God possesses all power.1, 2
God created the soul invisible; evil is idol worship and good is worshiping God alone, and redeeming the soul is the objective of life.1, 2, 3
Humans were created to work hard to redeem themselves from the ancient crime of not taking a firm stand with God's absolute authority.1, 2, 3
We are redeemed by upholding the words of God alone and worshiping God alone, while people repeat the old mistake by thinking Jesus, Mary, Muhammad, or Ali have power.1, 2
Humans have only one function in this world, which is to recognize God as the only master and king and to worship and serve Him alone.1, 2, 3
The Quran teaches that God created death and life to test human beings and distinguish the righteous among them.1, 2
This worldly life is like a blink of an eye compared to the Hereafter, so being rich or poor, tall or short does not matter; what matters is preparing for the Hereafter.1, 2, 3
For most people the body is the boss, and living only to please the body is foolish because the body vanishes and becomes dust.1, 2, 3
We exist to worship God alone, because Satan wanted to be a god with God, and humans must prove that God can be worshiped alone without any prophet beside Him.1, 2, 3, 4
God created death and life to distinguish the true believers among humans from those who are not.1, 2
In the Quran God, the supreme Expert, tells us where we came from, why we are here on earth, and where we go from here.1, 2, 3
We all existed in God's kingdom before this life and testified that God alone is our Lord, but we do not remember it, and one purpose of this life is a fresh start without memory of the past.1, 2, 3, 4
We are here for the test, and the whole idea of our existence is to worship God no matter what happens without ever seeing Him.1, 2, 3
We are here for a test, and God wants to show off servants who worship Him no matter what happens without ever seeing Him; this is the purpose of our existence.1, 2, 3
God created the human race with absolute freedom of choice as a perfect test proving Satan is an incompetent god, and those who agree that God alone is not enough become Satan's constituents.1, 2, 3, 4
This life exists only for the test, and God created death and life, death not existing initially, in order to test us.1, 2, 3, 4
We all existed in God's kingdom billions of years ago but have no recollection of it, and one purpose of this life is a fresh start without memory of the past.1, 2, 3, 4
The soul comes from God and must grow.1
Because of our composite nature, we need to take care of the body and have certain material requirements in order to worship God.1, 2
