Maqsad E Zindagi (Roman Urdu) | Hafiz Saeed Ahmad Sahab | Purpose of Life in Islam

About Maqsad E Zindagi

Maqsad E Zindagi is a heart-touching book on the true purpose of human life, compiled (murattib) by Hafiz Saeed Ahmad Sahab and presented in Roman Urdu. Its cover calls it “Allah ke raaste mein jaane walon ke liye behtareen kitaab” – the best book for those who travel in the path of Allah.

The book opens with the meaning of the ayah: “Maine insaan aur jinnaat ko sirf apni ibaadat ke liye paida kiya hai” (Bayaan-ul-Qur’an) – I created jinn and mankind only to worship Me (Surah adh-Dhariyat 51:56). Everything that follows is built on this foundation.
