Understanding the Purpose of Life:

Bees understand the purpose of their being and live their whole life to achieve it. They know that they may not be able to eat all what they are gathering, but they continue to do so and give it back to their community. So should be the case of believer. We should not just be concerned about ourselves only and should not spend our whole life to better our dunya. We need to see the bigger purpose of life and act accordingly. How useful would be a worker whose master lays down his purpose in front of him and his actions are exactly the opposite.

An-Nahl: An-Nahl’ in Arabic refers to honey bee and this is what our 

academy gets its inspiration from. 


Allah SWT says in the Quran:

And your Lord inspired the bees: “Make ˹your˺ homes in the mountains, 

the trees, and in what people construct,

[16:68]

and feed from ˹the flower of˺ any fruit ˹you please˺ and follow the ways your Lord has made easy for you.

” From their bellies comes forth liquid of varying colours, in which there 

is healing for people. Surely in this is a sign for those who reflect.

[16:69]

 

On the authority of Ibn Umar, radiyallabu ‘anhuma, who said: The Messenger of Allah,

sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, took me by the shoulder and said:

“Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveler/ wayfarer.” Ibn Umar used to say:

“When evening comes, do not expect (to live till) morning and when morning comes, do not 

expect (to live till) evening. Take from your health (a preparation) for your illness, 

and from your life for your death.”

[Al-Bukharil]

Nearly one-eighth of the Holy Quran urges readers to study nature, history, the

Quran itself and humanity at large. The text employs a range of expressions in

its appeal to those who listen (Yasmaun), those who think (Yakfurun), those who

reflect (Yatadabbarun), those who observe (Yanzurun), those who exercise their intellect

(Ya’kilun), those who take heed and remember (Yatathakkarun), those who ask questions

(Yas-aloon), those who develop an insight (Yafqahun) and those who know (Ya’malun).
