I think religions and worship should be more simple, not just for the highly educated, surely? Diciples were told to follow by Jesus and they did without question. Blind faith is seen by children in their parents faith until they are old enough to ask the WHY. Some just prayer regularly - doing God''s will without understanding all/most of Scriptures. Some are balancing their Spiritual needs with their human needs, not much seen these days. Some Jews, Christians have lost their way owing to materialism (excessive human needs/wants) and this is now evident within most Muslims in most countries for a few decades now.

It's simple enough - our purpose in life is to worship the One God Almighty (all of us have a covenant (before Adam) with God imprinted on our souls to worship One God - that's where the Oneness of God comes from - the need to worship - for those that believe), whether this is by prayer or fasting or maybe the acquiring of knowledge including Sciences as you mention.

One of the contradictions I have not found the answer to in the Qur'an yet is that God can deem who he likes to be righteous enough, for heaven, not just some Muslims/Christians/Jews/Sabians that are also mentioned. So maybe whether you believe or not and feel you are righteous or not, God will deem you righteous by your act of worship in acquiring knowledge?

So this chat (Philosophy and Religion) with all the familiar contributors on HC can continue in the next life, but will this be heaven or hell, lol?

"It's simple enough - our purpose in life is to worship the One God Almighty (all of us have a covenant (before Adam) with God imprinted on our souls to worship One God ...."

Yes WWW that is indeed a very simple purpose.
Whilst not wanting to deny your faith or beliefs, it seems to me that a Creator of the Universe who craves worship from some very minor sentient beings of His vast Creation, is a construction of Man.

God made in the image of Man .. and not a very good example of Man at that. What kind of people crave to be worshipped ... probably the worst kind would be a suitable comment.

I hope you can come up with a better purpose than that.
