WHERE DID I COME FROM ?
WHERE DID I COME FROM ?
But this very same question - where did I come from? - when popped in my mind, it rang bells. Bells too loud to be ignored and so I had to do something about it. Being the adventurous sort I too ventured on a juorney to find the truth. But Alhamdullilah, the journey was not too long and the first stop was the destination.
Similarly, the question of who put us here on earth leads us to find that one being controlling this game.
Throughout ages man has come up with the concept of a "superior being" because they liked to believe that there was a reason why they are here and there is someone who created them. However only very recently we have phenomenas like atheism emerging trying to tell the world that everything is pointless! Even the primitive man understood that it wasn’t so.
A track of this belief through history gives us various forms of the being - God, the creator, the one and only. The many concepts diluted, distorted, added and subtracted through the many many ages humanity has been alive. Experts in history of religion can give a better explanation of this process then I can but all I can say is that the belief, the concept, always existed.
Coming to the world of today there are many versions of God that humans believe in. (and majority of them do) the practices stemming from each belief loosely catagorized as a religion and compartmentalized into the daily life of the human of today along with other categories like gender, country of origin, profession, area of residence, academic education etc. the thought of it all sometimes blurs behind the schedules and appointments of daily life. Infact, if truth be told - Noone thinks of God nowadays except on the few rare occasions designated for it.
So if I was to connect my million dollar question the concept of God I would say " God put me here in the world" and that should rest the case, but it doesn’t. I want to ask why. For that I want to know which God to ask and here is where the world of confusion begins.
That’s the name of the game we call life. The true search of your creature and finding the reason behind your creation is what summarizes humanity in a nutshell.
Every person from the day they are born travel on a journey
to one day ask the ever impinging question of where they actually came from.
Every human being on earth, like it or not, some time or the other does think about this million dollar question.
Some are more persistent than others and venture on quests in order to decipher the secrets of the universe, others shove the thought away, choosing to live in the bliss of ignorance for the rest of their lives.

The answers to where we have come from and what is our
purpose on earth is simple and can only be answered by the one who made us and
then placed us here.
Like dolls in a dollhouse wondering where did they come from and who put them here cannot on their own find the answers. The little girl holding them in her hands and maneuvering them through room to room has the answer, and if you ask her she would say
" well I put them there so I could play with them!"
