We need light to guide us since we live our lives in this world. It is the earth, especially together with the life it supports. Lifeworld may be conceived as a universe of what is self-evident or given. Life is the period during which something inanimate or abstract continues to exist, function, or be valid. To wonder about the meaning of life is an extremely important activity, life does have substantial meaning, and there are, in fact, a range of practial steps we can take to ensure we end up leading lives of maximal meaningfulness.

Sometimes we come across challenging times in our lives. It happens when things are not just going our way and we don't know what to do. Usually our response depends on who we are and the options we have available.

The Qur'an and The Sunnah. Yes, The Qur'an and The Sunnah are the only guide a believer will have recourse to throughout his life. The valid reference source to see how The Qur'an has been put into practice is the life and actions of our Prophet Muhammad shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam.

Without Qur'an and Sunnah, we will walk in the darkness in our life. They our light that we need to lead our life. The real truth belongs to Allah's teaching, so we have to follow His teachings. which are covered and included in Qur'an. The massages of Qur'an are imprinted inside the Prophet Muhammad shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Our Prophet's ethics, morals, really represents Qur'an.

SUBHAANAKALLAAHUMMA WA BI HAMDIKA ASYHADU ALLAA ILAAHA ILLAA ANTA ASTAGHFIRUKA WA ATUUBU ILAIKA.
