Shaherald Night Live! - S2E3 - What Is The Purpose of Life? Is Heaven and Hell Real?

Points in Discussion What does it mean by purpose or meaning of life? Understanding “purpose” from different perspectives: scientific, philosophy, faith Why is it important to know our purpose? What are the impacts to our daily lives? Why is there Heaven and Hell? Are they mere inducements? Why is it important to believe in the Hereafter, and in our final abode? What if one does not believe? What are we doing here? Where are we going to go? What is our purpose? How did we get here, and who made us so perfect? What happens when we go? Is this world all really worth it? Before embracing Islam, I would sometimes ask myself these questions and pondered them because I felt that I was living life on repeat despite trying new things to keep my interest going. Soon it will be time for us to go, and just like birth, we were born with a death date predetermined by Allah. So what is the purpose of all this? Do we have a greater purpose in life? Do heaven and hell exist or is heaven already a place on earth?

ABOUT SYAFIQ LIOW Previously, while on the journey of discovering the meaning of life, brother Syafiq Liow embraced several faiths, Taoism, Buddhism, and Christianity, but felt that none of them resonated with him and decided to be a freethinker. Since then, he had many turning points in his life, which left him lost and made him resort to drugs as his answer. He then became an addict and thought of ending his life with drugs and nearly lost it. Despite trying to end his life, it was not his time, and when an Ustaz from a television program said, "Islam is the Way of Life," that touched his heart and got him interested in finding out about it.
