What is the main purpose of life?
Why do we born?
To achieve perfection , trying to succeed in order to advance humanity , for fun? or other terms in your opinion?
As said by dear Dr. Ademolawa Michael Adedipe : Most religions seem to agree that we are here to worship him (God) and do his will.

Human life is a permanent conversion process; developing a circumcized (elaborated) brain and an uncircumcized (non-disgusted) heart is essential, i.e. to spiritualize our physical heart-beat. Perpetual ethical rectification or correction are decisive; our soul, which is not of this world, will never be satisfied with the goods of this world. Knowledge, wisdom and faith together can create real bliss, happiness and fun. Materialism should not reside in our heart; it is the root energy of illness, disease and human stress (over-competition).
For some people, purpose is connected to vocation, satisfying work. For others, their purpose lies in their responsibilities to their family or friends.
Thank you very much for your answers, dear professors,

What is the main purpose of life in your opinion?
The purpose of life is different from a person to another & also might change from one season / stage of life to another. To summarize, the purpose of life is a process of finding answers toward all the questions in life including this one.
My main purpose in life is to help, do charitable work, and help with the developmental process of my countr.
What is the main purpose of life in your opinion? to be ready to die. ie. benefited the maximum of life but without forgetting the laws of life made by our creator.
We will have to carry out our duties correctly and sincerely in all spheres of our life.
The Sumerians of Iraq who built the first civilization on Earth around 3500 BC tried to deal with this question and concluded that the main purpose of life is to serve God!
I agree with some points of view: The most important is to serve God but how?
1. Serve and be kind to all creatures humans; animals and plants.
2. When we go to work ; our main goal should be serving and helping others.
3 .Keep learning and keep searching for the thruth.
4. Think about the universe and how all it was created.
4. Be thankful for everything we have
5.Be patient when we face life problems because the purpose is to learn from them.
The day someone understands the purpose of life, means that is the new beginning of his/her life.
Very impressive question and excellent comments by dear RG colleagues
The basic purpose of our existence on the earth is its age, the spread of love and the worship of God, and that no one should associate Him with worship.
The goal is to do the good deeds of the earth and do the good deeds, worship Allah and spread peace
Theists believe God created the universe and that God had a purpose in doing so. Theists also hold the view that humans find their meaning and purpose for life in God's purpose in creating. Theists further hold that if there were no God to give lifeultimate meaning, value and purpose, then life would be absurd.
The goal in life is different from one person to another, and this is due to the ideas of the person and the way he grew up, but the important thing is the existence of a goal in the person sought in his life so that the life he lives meaningful and useful, and even after the death of something useful left behind .
To make history in faith, helping people, survivals and career
Humanists can't change the world, but we can increase the number of producers of a good will.
The main purpose of life is to find the meaning of life. According to Buddhism, the ultimate purpose of life should be finding the path to "Nirwana", and we should try it without delay because getting a human life is such a rare thing.
The main purpose of life is to live it happily and successfully without harming others.

God created us to be the manifestation of his good characteristics; he wants us to be the source of generosity and kindness on the earth; we are the most appropriate representatives
Very simple! The purpose for man’s creation is to worship the Creator. The essence of Allah’s message through all of the prophets also was: O mankind, worship Allah, you have no deity other than Him. (Quran, 7:59,65,73,85; Also 11:50,61,84; and 23:23,32). Allah further states that He made this life in order to test man so that every person may be recompensed after death for what he has earned:
{He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving. (Quran, 67:2)

The purpose of life is not only to fight for earning money and fame; these may make a person’s living comfortable but not truly happy. It is to be meaningful, useful and positive for others in the society.

It is very difficult to understand the real purpose of this life. We are simply appreciating each other to encourage ourselves to live on. Each day we have a new life, new tasks, and everything is unknown, but still we are very much aware and curious to live more and more.

Meaning of life depends upon situations. Because meaning of life for a poor is earning money and leaving good life. For rich, is to make their popularity and so on. For a researcher, is to make novel works in their field. For Singer is to make new and popular songs and maintain their status. A philosopher thinks about humanity. A Son thinks about their parents and parents think about their son and daughter . So the meaning of life is not same for everyone, just like what you think about meaning of life.
thank you.

Two quotations regarding the purpose of life:
"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

From Islamic perspective, Quran stated: " And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me". Perfection does not compatible with the human nature, and people will not achieve such goal. Fun also is not the best answer. It is important but not the goal of life. Life is supposed to be a station for something more important. An old poet said: work for your life just like you live forever, and work for your hereafter just like you would die tomorrow.
