searching for your "SELF"

Assalammualaikum......Praise be to Allah ,Lord of the Universe...

Often we travel through life, without the slightest thought of who we are. A day comes , and a day goes by, life becomes a routine , a redundant routine and we don't and can't feel that something is missing.Each day of our life, spent carelessly , often unappreciated, insignificant and unproductive, not only in this world but more so toward the hereafter . At other times, we might be consumed with our daily activities, that we don't really take the initiative or time to ponder , if what we are doing each day, is in accordance with that prescribe by Allah swt. thus life is spent in fulfilling our worldly dreams and ambitions, cascading the the real and true goal in life.We get so adapted to the society, scripted lifestyles and we conformed ourselves faithfully to it. This phenomena is no longer strange in the world right now, especially among younger generations.This phenomenal wave is spreading strong and fast throughout the world, gushing through every possible corner of the earth, invading every household , leaving huge vacuum and emptiness in the hearts of our young Muslims, which then become the victims, of all sorts of jahiliyah* cultures, convictions and way of life. We therefore , as Muslims have to constantly ,bring ourselves back to the very basic questions of:

........ Who we are? Why are we here on this earth? and Where are we heading to?..........

Upon answering these questions,we hope that, they will lead us back, toward the correct path of life, to the true meaning of life and to correct way of living , no longer resort to the meaningless routine and redundant daily activities. Just as our daily prayers "RABBANA ATINA FIDDUNYA HASSANAH WA FIL AKHIRA TI HASSANATAN WA KHINA AZABANNAR"
meaning "OH GOD, GRANT US A GOOD LIFE IN THIS DUNIYA AND ALSO A GOOD LIFE IN THE HEREAFTER AND SAFEGUARD US FROM THE HELLFIRE " amen

Give these questions some serious thoughts, I'll get back with the explanations,soon.
