If We Were Created Only to Worship Allah, Why Do We Work, Marry, and Study?

A common misunderstanding is that when Allah says:

> "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." (Allah said, Quran 51:56)

it means life should consist of nothing but prayer, fasting, and other ritual acts.

That is not how the Salaf understood this verse.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله defined worship as:

> "A comprehensive term for everything Allah loves and is pleased with, whether statements or actions, inward or outward."

So worship is far broader than rituals.

Allah commanded mankind to cultivate the earth:

> "He produced you from the earth and settled you in it." (Allah said, Quran 11:61)

He also informed the angels:

> "Indeed, I will place upon the earth a successive authority." (Allah said, Quran 2:30)

Marriage is worship.

Allah said:

> "Marry the unmarried among you..." (Allah said, Quran 24:32)

The Prophet ﷺ said:

> "In the sexual act of each of you there is charity."

When the Companions asked how fulfilling one's desire could be rewarded, he explained that just as satisfying it unlawfully is sinful, satisfying it lawfully earns reward. (Sahih Muslim 1006)

Working for halal provision is worship.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

> "No one has ever eaten better food than what he earned with his own hands." (Sahih al-Bukhari 2072)

He also said:

> "It is sufficient sin for a person to neglect those whom he is responsible to support." (Sunan Abu Dawud 1692, authenticated by Al-Albani)

Seeking beneficial knowledge is worship.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

> "Whoever travels a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise." (Sahih Muslim 2699)

The key is intention.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

> "Actions are only by intentions." (Sahih al-Bukhari 1; Sahih Muslim 1907)

Eating to gain strength for worship, sleeping to wake for Fajr, working to provide halal sustenance, raising righteous children, treating people with justice, fulfilling contracts, and serving the Muslims can all be acts of worship when done sincerely for Allah and in accordance with the Sunnah.

Ibn Kathir رحمه الله explained that Allah created His creation so they would worship Him alone without associating partners with Him.

So the purpose of life is not to spend every hour performing ritual acts. It is to spend every part of life in obedience to Allah.

As Allah said:

> "Say, indeed my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds." (Allah said, Quran 6:162)

To the Quranist: If You Believe the Quran, Then You Must Accept the Authentic Sunnah

​

Many Quranists say:

«"We do not reject the Messenger ﷺ. We only reject books like Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim because they were written centuries later."»

At first glance, this may sound reasonable. But it creates a serious problem with the Quran itself.

The Quran repeatedly commands believers to obey the Messenger ﷺ, not merely to believe he once existed.

Allah said:

«"Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah." (Allah said, Quran 4:80)»

Allah said:

«"Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it." (Allah said, Quran 59:7)»

Allah said:

«"No! By your Lord, they will not truly believe until they make you judge concerning that over which they dispute, then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit completely." (Allah said, Quran 4:65)»

The question is simple:

How can anyone obey the Messenger after his death if none of his authentic teachings have been preserved?

The Quran never says that only its words would be preserved. Rather, Allah entrusted the Prophet ﷺ with teaching, explaining, judging and purifying.

Allah said:

«"He teaches them the Book and the Wisdom." (Allah said, Quran 2:129)»

This "Wisdom" is repeatedly mentioned alongside the Book. The Companions understood it to refer to the Sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ.

Allah also said:

«"We revealed to you the Reminder so that you may explain to the people what has been sent down to them." (Allah said, Quran 16:44)»

If the Prophet's explanations were never preserved, then this mission ended with his death and later Muslims would have no way to fulfil the Quran's command to obey him.

Some argue that hadith were written too late.

But this ignores history.

The Prophet ﷺ permitted and encouraged writing in certain circumstances. Many Companions possessed written collections. Students of the Companions preserved narrations. Long before Imam al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim, hadith had already been written and transmitted with chains of narrators.

Imam al-Bukhari did not invent hadith. He travelled widely to examine reports already circulating, scrutinising every narrator and every chain with standards unmatched in ancient history. The same applies to Imam Muslim.

If you reject Sahih al-Bukhari because it was compiled later, then consistency requires rejecting many established facts of early Islamic history, since they are preserved through the same historical methods.

Ironically, the Quran itself reached us through transmission by the very same generation that transmitted the Sunnah. The Companions who preserved the Quran are the same Companions who preserved the Prophet's teachings. Accepting one while dismissing the other without evidence is arbitrary.

The science of hadith was developed precisely because Muslims knew fabricated reports existed. Scholars did not blindly accept every narration. They critically examined each narrator, every chain, and the wording itself. Weak narrations were identified, and authentic ones distinguished from fabrications.

The choice is therefore not between "Quran alone" and "blindly accepting hadith."

The real choice is between:

* Accepting the Messenger's authentic teachings through rigorous historical transmission.

* Or believing that Allah commanded Muslims to obey a Messenger whose guidance became permanently inaccessible.

The first view is consistent with the Quran.

The second leaves Allah's repeated commands to obey His Messenger impossible to fulfil.

The Salafi methodology is simply to accept the Quran and the authentic Sunnah upon the understanding of the Companions and the early generations, exactly as Allah and His Messenger ﷺ instructed.

How many people have been harmed by Ayurveda? Is there any centralized database?

​

I recently came across What's The Harm? (https://whatstheharm.net), a website that documented thousands of cases of harm associated with pseudoscience and alternative medicine. It even has a section dedicated to Ayurveda, compiling published case reports and news reports of injuries, poisonings, delayed diagnoses, and deaths.

That made me wonder.

India has millions of people using Ayurvedic treatments, yet I have never seen a centralized database documenting adverse events, treatment related complications, heavy metal poisoning, delayed cancer diagnoses after exclusive alternative treatment, steroid adulteration, liver injury, kidney injury, or deaths associated with Ayurveda.

For modern medicines, adverse drug reactions are actively monitored through pharmacovigilance systems. Is there any equivalent, transparent system for Ayurveda that is publicly accessible?

If not, how are policymakers, researchers, and the public supposed to accurately assess its safety profile?

I'm not asking whether Ayurveda "works" or "doesn't work." I'm asking whether there is a comprehensive, publicly available registry of documented harms, similar to pharmacovigilance databases for conventional medicine.

If anyone knows of such a database, I'd genuinely like to see it.

The Prophet ﷺ Warned Against Seeking the Faults of Muslims

One of the most destructive diseases affecting many Muslim communities today is the obsession with attacking fellow Muslims, questioning their intentions, spreading accusations, and seeking out their faults.

The Prophet ﷺ warned against this in very strong terms:

> "O you who have spoken the words of faith but faith has not entered your hearts! Do not backbite the Muslims or seek out their faults, for whoever seeks out their faults, Allah will seek out his faults even if he is in his own house." (Sunan Abi Dawud 4880, authenticated by al-Albani)

Before speaking about another Muslim, ask yourself:

• Do I have clear evidence? • Am I advising sincerely, or merely criticizing? • Would I say this in front of them? • Am I helping the Ummah or dividing it?

Allah says:

> "Say: Produce your proof if you are truthful." (Allah said in the Quran 2:111)

And He says:

> "Since they do not produce the witnesses, then they are the liars in the sight of Allah." (Allah said in the Quran 24:13)

Not every disagreement justifies attacking a person's honour or intentions. Advice should be given with justice, sincerity, and evidence, not through public humiliation or reckless labeling.

At the same time, we must distinguish between general rulings and rulings upon specific individuals. Whoever Allah and His Messenger ﷺ have declared to be disbelievers must be affirmed as such. For example, Allah says:

> "Surely they have disbelieved who say: Allah is the third of three." (Allah said in the Quran 5:73)

And:

> "Surely they have disbelieved who say: Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary." (Allah said in the Quran 5:17)

But declaring a specific individual to be a disbeliever is a separate matter that requires the fulfillment of the legislated conditions and the absence of impediments. Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen رحمه الله explained that while we must not hesitate to affirm what Allah and His Messenger ﷺ have affirmed in general, we must also distinguish between general rulings and rulings upon specific people.

Sadly, some people have made it a habit to praise and condemn others based on personal likes and dislikes rather than the standards of the Qur'an and Sunnah. This only creates division and injustice.

The Salaf were known for justice. They acknowledged people's good qualities, advised them regarding their mistakes, and avoided speaking without knowledge.

May Allah purify our hearts, protect our tongues, unite the Muslims upon the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah, and make us among those who speak only with knowledge and justice.

Europe is debating empty parks. Islam solved the problem 1400 years ago encouraging natalism in reality

​

A video from the UK shows a park where many of the families with young children are visibly Muslim. Some people see this and complain about demographics. I think they are asking the wrong question.

The real question is: Which worldview still encourages people to marry, have children, and see family as a blessing rather than a burden?

Across much of the developed world, birth rates have collapsed. Careers, consumerism, delayed marriage, individualism, and fear of financial sacrifice have made children seem like a cost instead of a gift.

Islam takes the opposite approach.

The Qur'an says:

"Do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for them and for you." (Qur'an 17:31)

Children are described as a blessing, marriage is strongly encouraged, and raising righteous children is considered an act of worship. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

"Marry the loving and fertile women, for I will boast of your great numbers before the other nations on the Day of Resurrection." (Sunan Abu Dawud 2050, authentic)

This does not mean Muslims are told to have children irresponsibly. Parents are commanded to provide, educate, and care for them. But the default attitude is that family is something to embrace, not postpone indefinitely.

If Western societies genuinely want a demographic recovery, financial incentives alone are unlikely to reverse decades of cultural change. A civilization's fertility ultimately reflects its values.

The irony is that many people admire thriving playgrounds while rejecting the very worldview that consistently produces them.

If Islam preserves strong families, values children as a blessing, and is producing replacement level fertility where secular societies are not, perhaps it is worth asking whether its worldview offers something the modern world has lost.

Source:

Robert Wilson on Instagram: "There was a woman online complaining about seeing these women in the park, and was very upset.

She should be upset, but for a different reason.

The English people should be upset as all the women should be given the option of being able to take their children to the park on these lovely summer days.

Enjoy these summer days with your family.

Much love

Robbie

Why Are Dargahs Demolished in Islam? Quran and Sunnah Explained

  1. Grave-Worship is One of the Greatest Forms of Shirk

Allah says:

> “And they worship besides Allah that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say: ‘These are our intercessors with Allah.’” (Surah Yunus 10:18)

The veneration of graves and saints is nothing but the revival of the shirk of Quraysh, who took intermediaries between themselves and Allah. The Prophet ﷺ warned:

> “May Allah curse the Jews and Christians, for they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 1330, Sahih Muslim 529)

Thus, removing shrines that promote grave-worship protects the Ummah from falling into major shirk.


  1. Demolishing Shrines is Reviving the Sunnah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered:

> “Do not leave a picture without obliterating it, and no elevated grave without leveling it.” (Sahih Muslim 969)

Imam al-Shawkani said:

> “This hadith is proof for the obligation of demolishing domes built over graves, for they are more dangerous than pictures.” (Nayl al-Awtar 5/131)

Therefore, demolishing dargahs is not vandalism, but obedience to the Prophet ﷺ and revival of his Sunnah.


  1. Safeguarding Tawheed for Future Generations

Ibn Taymiyyah wrote:

> “Building mosques on graves and taking them as shrines is among the greatest causes of shirk. Demolishing such structures is one of the most important means of closing the doors that lead to polytheism.” (Majmoo‘ al-Fatawa 27/449)

By clearing these false places of worship, the Ummah is safeguarded from the slow, generational slide into shirk.


  1. Following the Way of the Salaf

Umar ibn al-Khattab (ra) commanded the cutting down of the tree at Hudaybiyyah when he feared people would fall into veneration of it. (Reported by Ibn Sa‘d in al-Tabaqat 2/100)

If the Salaf destroyed even a tree out of fear of shirk, then demolishing domes and shrines over graves is an even greater act of preserving pure Tawheed.


  1. True Honor for the Deceased

Islam honors the dead by:

burying them simply,

supplicating for them,

giving charity on their behalf.

But elevating their graves into shrines leads to innovation and shirk. Removing such structures restores the proper dignity of the deceased and prevents them from being wrongly taken as objects of worship.


Conclusion

The demolition of dargahs and grave-shrines is not an act of disrespect or destruction. It is an act of obedience to the Prophet ﷺ, protection of tawheed, and mercy for the Ummah. It is among the noble deeds that revive the Sunnah and close the doors of shirk.

> “And that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke anyone along with Allah.” (Surah al-Jinn 72:18)

Demolishing shrines is a means of ensuring that worship is directed to Allah alone, as practiced by the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions. This is the true virtue (faḍīlah) of such an action.

To the Quranist: If You Believe the Quran, Then You Must Accept the Authentic Sunnah

Many Quranists say:

Why So Many People Are Looking Into Islam Today

One of the most overlooked signs of our time is the sheer number of people actively searching and converting to Islam.

Google Trends data consistently shows that search terms such as:

"convert to Islam"

"how to become Muslim"

generate enormous interest worldwide, often exceeding equivalent conversion-related searches for many other major religions like christianity.

From an Islamic perspective, this should not be surprising.

Allah said:

"We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth." (Quran 41:53)

Despite the relentless criticism, misinformation, and attacks directed at Islam, people continue to investigate it for themselves. Many begin their journey intending to refute Islam, only to find themselves reading the Quran, studying the life of the Prophet ﷺ, and eventually embracing the religion.

What makes this particularly remarkable is that Islam is not being presented as an easy religion. It calls people to worship Allah alone, abandon shirk, submit to divine revelation, pray five times a day, fast Ramadan, and regulate their lives according to revelation. Yet people continue to enter it in significant numbers.

Demographic studies from Pew Research show that Islam was the fastest-growing religion globally between 2010 and 2020.

The reality is that many people are exhausted by secular materialism, religious liberalism, and constantly changing moral standards. They are searching for certainty, purpose, and a direct relationship with their Creator.

When they encounter Islam in its original form, based upon the Quran, the authentic Sunnah, and the understanding of the Salaf, many find the clarity they were searching for.

Allah said:

"Rather, We hurl the truth against falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon falsehood departs." (Quran 21:18)

For this reason, Muslims should not feel intimidated by the constant attacks against Islam online. The same internet that spreads doubts also gives millions of people access to the Quran, authentic hadith, and the works of the scholars.

Every week there are new stories of people accepting Islam after years of atheism, Christianity, agnosticism, or other belief systems. The trend is so visible that even search engine data reflects it.

The truth does not require marketing campaigns to survive. It only requires that people are allowed to hear it.

"And who is better in speech than one who calls to Allah, does righteous deeds, and says, 'Indeed, I am of the Muslims.'" (Quran 41:33)

Nice Medieval Poem Asking Questions to Christianity

O followers of Christ, reflect carefully and answer with honesty.

If God was killed by the actions of people, then what kind of God is this?

If He was pleased with what they did to Him, then blessed are those who killed Him, for they achieved His pleasure.

But if He was displeased, then created beings overpowered their Creator.

Either way, divinity collapses.

When He was killed, who sustained the heavens and the earth? Who answered the prayers of the desperate? Who governed existence while He lay in the grave?

Were the heavens abandoned when He was buried? Were the worlds left without a Lord while His hands were nailed?

Why did the angels not defend Him if He was truly their Lord? Why did they hear His cries yet offer no aid?

How did wood bear the Creator of wood? How did iron restrain the One who brought iron into existence? How did weak human hands reach Him, strike Him, humiliate Him?

And when He died, who revived Him? Did He resurrect himself, or did another god give him life?

If another revived Him, then He was not God. If He revived himself, then He was never truly dead. Both cannot be true.

What a contradiction it is to claim: A god enclosed in a grave. A god carried in a womb. A god nourished by blood. A god born weak, crying for milk. A god who ate, drank, and relieved himself.

Is this the Lord of the worlds?

Exalted is Allah, far above these claims. Perfect, Eternal, Self-Sustaining. He neither begets nor is begotten. He does not hunger, weaken, suffer, or die.

Then reflect further.

Why is the cross exalted? Why is the one who rejects it condemned?

If the cross is honored because you claim your god was crucified upon it, then it is more deserving to be broken and burned, for it is the instrument upon which you say your god was humiliated.

Why kiss the object of his suffering? Why glorify what you claim was the means of his abuse?

If you honor it because it carried the Lord, then by that same logic, graves deserve worship, for you claim a grave once contained your god.

O follower of Christ, open your eyes.

God is not humiliated. God is not defeated. God is not killed. God is not born, nor does He die.

Islam calls you to the worship of the One whom Jesus himself worshipped. The One Jesus prayed to. The One who saved him. The One who never left the heavens nor the earth unattended.

Return to pure monotheism. Return to the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Return to worshipping Allah alone.

If the cross is honored because you claim your god was crucified upon it, then it is more deserving to be broken and burned, for it is the instrument upon which you say your god was humiliated.

Why kiss the object of his suffering? Why glorify what you claim was the means of his abuse?

If you honor it because it carried the Lord, then by that same logic, graves deserve worship, for you claim a grave once contained your god.

O follower of Christ, open your eyes.

God is not humiliated. God is not defeated. God is not killed. God is not born, nor does He die.

Islam calls you to the worship of the One whom Jesus himself worshipped. The One Jesus prayed to. The One who saved him. The One who never left the heavens nor the earth unattended.

Return to pure monotheism. Return to the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Return to worshipping Allah alone.
