10 Of 10 Questions Christians Won't Like To Answer - What's The Purpose Of Life? by AntiChristian: 3:45pm On Jun 11
What's the Purpose of our creation from the Bible?
Since God is the Creator and He created us, it is fitting that God should tell us our purpose of life or why we were created. Therefore, I’m asking for where in the Bible does God-YHWH-the Son-the Spirit or Paul, mention why God created us?

We were created for God's pleasure. Revelation 4:11 says:

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying: “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and came to be.” Revelations 4:10-11

Na the 24 elders dey worship the One seated on the throne and they said those words you quoted!

Our purpose for being created is the humiliation of Satan.

Satan rebelled against God with an intent to usurp God's authority. God cast him down to earth, and then took the sand of the earth, made it into God's image (man), and then gave him rulership over Satan by declaring:

Genesis 1:28
"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

Satan snatched away the dominion and Adam fell. Jesus came to restore fallen man, reunite him with God and give him authority over Satan through His death and resurrection. Satan must deny the death and resurrection of Jesus so as to seal men away from reaccessing the dominion Jesus restored back to them.

Modified:
And as TenQ said below, God created us for His pleasure. Man's dominion over Satan is one of God's pleasure.for which He created man.

I am. You quoted statements which doesn't state the purpose of creating asked. So can you summarise the reason God created you for me now from those verses?

The reason God created you is to....

Are we created to dominate the earth and its content?

Are we created just to be fruitful and multiply?

The numbers of the worshippers of Allah can't be measured in reality as only Allah know best those who have worshipped him.
And someone maybe a Christian in real life and die a Muslim just before death! And it could be vice versa!

Each Prophets will be followed by their followers on the resurrection day! And Allah is not judged! He is the Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)!

Allah created us to worship Him alone and He did send messengers to us!
So you are on your own!

2. So he needs to be worshipped to feel validated!? What kind of deity is this.
This is a sign of incompleteness: you you agree?
Why does Allah need to be worshipped?

Allah says what means:
And whosoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, Allah is free of all wants from the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists). Qur'an 29:6
Allah deserves to be worshipped because He is our creator and Lord!
Where does Allah seek your validation? The river that forgets its origin will get dried!

Can you open mouth and say this same nonsense as regard your own God that calls his name Jealous and himself a jealous god!
Do not worship any other god, for YHWH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Exodus 34:14

Exodus 20:3
You shall have no other gods before Me.


Exodus 20:5
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,


Deuteronomy 4:24
For Yahweh your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.


Joshua 24:19
But Joshua said to the people, "You are not able to serve Yahweh, for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your rebellion or your sins.


3. Why is Allah comfortable with demons?
Who created Jinns? Allah created them and all things! Jinns are like humans with freewill and even more powerful in accomplishing extraordinary tasks that an average human cannot accomplish easily!

So Allah will judge both Mankind and Jinn!
Whoever passes will enter Paradise and whoever fails will enter hell!

"But now, this is what the Lord says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

It may be God talking to someone but not definitely telling humans the purpose they were created!

How many days did it take Allah to create heaven and earth and what was man created from according to your book?

This your question derails the thread!

How many days did it take Allah to create heaven and earth
The earth was created in two days, and the mountains were created and the sustenance were measured in two more days which makes a total of four. Then the creation of the seven heavens took two days making the total six days of the Days of Allah, may He be Glorified and Exalted.

What was man created from according to Islam
This is how Adam was created: from the earth – i.e. from its dust – which was then mixed with water to form mud, which then became black, stinking mud. And this dust was created from the earth which is partly sand and when it is mixed it becomes sounding clay like the clay of pottery.

Eve was created from Adam. And all others were created from their parents gametes!
