is there anything that does not have a purpose?

[Alphadude]

in this universe if we look at every single thing it could be a tree or a rock or sun or sky or earth etc everything has a purpose there isnt a single thing that i can think of that does not have a purpose i wanted to know if any of u know something that does not have a purpose?
allah created everything and gave a purpose to every living or not living thing the question remain what is the the thing that does not have a purpose.
example:

without water no plant or any other living thing could live
another example
bees

Bees are honey producers as well as indispensable actors in the pollinisation of flowers and plants. Bees are an element in the interactive ecosystem chain. The bee’s role is very important in the various life cycles of different species. Without bees, there would be no honey, but more importantly, certain plants would not be able to reproduce and would thus become extinct. In turn, this would lead to the disappearance of certain animal species

kinda sily question but i have this question in my mind for so long.

The Qur'aan answers your question;

"Not without purpose did We create heaven and earth and all between! that were the thought of Unbelievers! And woe unto those who disbelieve, from the Fire!"
[Qur'aan, Surah Sa'ad (Chapter 38), Verse 27]
.

Greetings and peace be with you khalid84;

Whist everything has a purpose, it still causes you to reflect and wonder.

What purpose does God have for the starving millions with no jobs and no real hope, what about the people born with deformities, what purpose can they have, what about refugees?

My grandfather’s house was burned down in the 1920’s and he had to flee from Turkey, Morocco, France, and Malta before coming to the UK during the Second World War, with no job or friends. My mum had multiple sclerosis and lost the use of her arms and legs for the last twenty years of her life, what purpose could she serve?

God’s ways are mysterious and the suffering of my grandparents and mother has had a profound affect on me.

In the spirit of searching for God

The Qur'aan answers your question, so why do I need to answer it?! You asked 'Is there anything that does not have a purpose?' and the Qur'an says that everything heavens and the earth has a purpose. End of!

[Afg]

How about Pluto? Do you think it has a purpose? If so, what purpose do you think it is?

[- IqRa -]

Allaah knows best, but since the Qur'aan states everything has a purpose, we aren't in any position to make silly remarks, are we?

^ Sis T.I.A, i think the brother meant that everything has a purpose, mashaAllah, and can we find anything that does not have a purpose?

Peace Eric,

Many people on this Earth would say those are things that have no purpose. Yet, if any one of them did not happen somebody's life would be different today. All things that have happened did in some way serve to make today the day it is. The butterfly effect is real although it may not occur as portrayed in the romanticized version we often read. So, yes even pain,sorrow, and destruction do serve a purpose in the overall formation and future of mankind and all created things.

[Afg]

THANK YOU sis AFG right to the point and i aint questioning allah

No prob bro . And nice signature. Where do you come up with such signatures, if you dont mind?

Oh my god. That's exactly what I said.

Forget it.

Yes sis we will never know until Allah tells us what purpose all those things have.Sadly though , we have to wait till judgment day.Till then all we can do is pray

God created everything with a purpose, but does that leave you wondering what this purpose is, and why.

Is everything created for a good purpose, what good purpose can there be for Satan to exist, or suffering,

Why did God give me a faith through Christianity, is it so I should try and convert you, or is there some other reason?

In the spirit of praying to One God who hears all our prayers.

[Danah]

Is everything created for a good purpose, what good purpose can there be for Satan to exist, or suffering,

Greeting Eric

If Satan was not exist, then how we can prove that we are good believers?
can a student pass a specific course without being tested or questioned?

If there is no existence for hardships, then how we will value the happiness?
the same as if there is no salt, how you will feel the sweetness of sugar

[Woodrow]

and Peace to you my Brother in Humanity

God created everything with a purpose, but does that leave you wondering what this purpose is, and why.

I am human like you and yes I do often wonder. I look back at the tragedies in my own life and in the lives of others. I can remember the times I worked in a rehab center with profoundly retarded, physically handicapped adults and wondered. I remember my years in combat as a Soldier and wonder.

But, over riding that wondering is a Faith that Allaah(swt) is the best of planners and he is very much in control. Although I may question and wonder,I do so without fear as I know the Universe is in good hands and all will unfold with the purpose intended.

Is everything created for a good purpose, what good purpose can there be for Satan to exist, or suffering,

Perhaps to just bring one person to understand Allaah(swt) by them being able to learn the logic of free choice. Mankind seems to show it's best face when faced with destruction. We are very stubborn creatures.

Why did God give me a faith through Christianity, is it so I should try and convert you, or is there some other reason?

Either or both. Other possibilities:

You are to be a trial I face and learn from.

I am a trial you are to face and learn from.

By having different views you are here on an Islamic Forum so that atheist members can see different views as to why we believe in the existence of a Creator.

An example to show Peaceful coexistence between Muslims and Christians is possible.

In the spirit of praying to One God who hears all our prayers.

Eric

And may all of us remember there is but one God(swt) no matter what name we know him by.

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

Lol ok T.I.A. answered the question already. You asked does anything not have a purpose and T.I.A concluded from the Qur'aan that everything has a purpose....which means there is no question left to be asked whether we can find anything that doesn't.

No matter how and in what way you wish to propose this question, Allah(swt) said EVERYTHING has a purpose, whether we find something or NOT.

It's not hard

^ Sis T.I.A, i think the brother meant that everything has a purpose, mashaAllah, and can we find anything that does not have a purpose?

That's asking the same question but in a different manner. The answer is the same...so there's no purpose of asking that question when the first one has been answered.

Your faith and the faith of many other Muslims here convince me that God is also working through Islam too.

I have to say I have never thought of you as a trial, but I have learned much from you.

Could be possible, who knows.

I believe this answer is nearest the truth, each and every one of us here on Earth has to be very special to God. It makes total sense that we should get on with each other despite all our differences.

Peace my Brother in Humanity,

That does appear to be the most likely.

The world is shrinking by the minute. If we are to survive, peaceful coexistence is essential. We do not have to accept each others beliefs or mannerism. It only takes each of us understanding we are different and that differences need not become a reason for animosity.

[Alphadude]

No prob bro . And nice signature. Where do you come up with such signatures, if you dont mind?

pluto lol indeed it has a purpose and about the sig i find them and then edit them ad my own feeling or what ever u call it then ad it as my sig and some are writen by me

Oh my god. That's exactly what I said.

Forget it.

and Peace to you my Brother in Humanity
