Summer Course: Guidance of the Traveller - Part Two

Introduction

The goal of our lives is to achieve the pleasure of Allah and enter the gardens of Paradise in the everlasting after life. Allah, the Most High, has said that our purpose in life is to worship Him.

The Noble Quran (51:56):
"And I (Allâh) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone) "

If this is our purpose, should we not learn how to worship Allah correctly, as well as we possibly can?
