The Muslim population, within the context of Islam as a religion, is to fulfill the teachings and principles of Islam as outlined in the Quran (the holy book of Islam) and the Hadith (the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad). Islam provides a comprehensive framework for life that covers spiritual, moral, social, and ethical aspects. The purpose of the Muslim population can be understood from several perspectives:

• Worship and Obedience: Muslims believe that their primary purpose is to worship Allah (God) alone and to submit to His will. This is reflected in their acts of worship, such as the performance of the five daily prayers, fasting during the month of Ramadan, giving to charity (Zakat), and making the pilgrimage (Hajj) to the holy city of Mecca if they are able.
•  
• Personal Development: Islam encourages individuals to develop themselves morally, spiritually, and intellectually. The teachings of Islam guide Muslims to lead righteous lives, seeking personal growth and improvement while adhering to ethical values and virtues.
•  
• Community and Social Responsibility: Muslims are encouraged to be active and responsible members of society. This includes treating others with kindness, honesty, and justice, as well as engaging in charitable activities to support the less fortunate.
•  
• Guidance and Purpose: Islam provides a clear moral and ethical framework, giving Muslims a sense of purpose and direction in life. It offers guidance on various aspects of life, from personal behavior to family relations, business ethics, and governance.
•  
• Seeking Salvation: Muslims believe that following the teachings of Islam and living a righteous life will lead to salvation and eternal reward in the afterlife. The purpose of adhering to Islamic principles is to attain closeness to Allah and attain a place in paradise.
•  
• Spreading God’s Message: Muslims are encouraged to share the message of Islam with others in a respectful and inviting manner. This is often referred to as “Dawah,” and it aims to invite non-Muslims to learn about and potentially embrace the faith.
