The human beings are not being made just by coincidence. Instead, Allah has created all of us, standing for a definite purpose. Besides, Allah not just created us with a definite purpose, but also created us with meticulous details in each person.
Human beings are considered as a very special form of creation. Islam teaches that human beings are a unique life form that was created by Allah in a special way, build up with unique characters and abilities unlike any other; a soul and conscience, knowledge, and also free will.

| The creation of human being never been a coincidental process by Him |
It is known that the prime purpose of human living in this world is no other than to worship to the One, and being the Khalifah that obligate to the One. On top of that, Allah has awarded us with numerous of advantages along the way. We are standing on our own self. Each of us posses the uniqueness and values that largely differ from the rest. We were created individually, not in cluster of similar group of people that share the same characteristics.
As a quick thought, even though almost 7 billion of human currently living in this world, not even one person is 100% similar to each other. In fact, the creation of human, dated back since Prophet Adam, had never been made equal. This clearly proved the almightiness of Allah.
Let’s look upon one of unique creation of human being; our thumbprint. The lines and pattern of our thumbprint that make up our natural identity. The thumbprints are way different than the rest, not even having the similarity as compared to the ratio of 1 to 7 000 000 000 people. Not only limited to this, our own characteristic, posture, feeling, way of think and react also different from one another. Even the closest twins that look completely resemble to each other physically, posses different characteristic internally.

On top of this, why did Allah awarded all of us with this kind of perfection in creation, in the first place? For sure, Allah does have a strong ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim towards all of His worshippers. Those kind of perfection that being mentioned are also include among the intellect, emotion, senses and physical ability that being awarded to us.
The human races that being created to live in this world are mainly created to grant a success, far away from confronting failure in their life. As an example, every parent will ensure each of the things needed for their children's usage in school are well equipped right before the school session started. Also, the parent will also provide enough pocket money for their children's spending in universities.
For whatever the needs of their children, they will try their best to fulfill it. This is vital to ensure the success of their children in academical studies and thus, providing a better future for them. This type of action is exactly similar on what Allah has been doing to all of His worshippers, by completing the needs of them, in hope that they will serve back to Allah and playing the role of an ideal Khalifah. All of the needs that being awarded to us are just infinite in numbers. This can be shown in His firman of :
 |
| Surah An-Nahl [16:18] |
Allah never intend, not even one of his creation to be stumbled with failure, by any means. Each of individual has their own talents that make them stand out from the rest. Allah never create a stupid human, but Allah created human with different level of intellect. Allah also never create an ugly human, but created human with different kind of beauties. After all, beauty that stands in human perspective is mere subjective. It’s only the definition of ‘beauty’ by human itself that make up the difference in general.
Besides, avoid the feeling of humbleness among the human. Instead, our feeling of humbleness must be directed only to Allah. Among other humans, there’s no boundary that separate the wealth or poor, the high-ranked individuals or civilians. We should feel that we’re just in the same level as the rest. In fact, the level of human from Allah’s view is just purely the same.

We must also realise that our advantages might be the disadvantages to the others. In contrast, the others’ disadvantages might serve as our advantages. Do remember, that we live in this world, is not just to compete among each other. After all, we are living in this life to complement each other as well. If we put the perspective of ‘life is a race’, we prone to get tired quickly. Tired with the race of the world that prove to lead nowhere in the hereafter.
But, there’s a race that is allowed in Islam. That is, the race of doing good deeds. But looking on the current reality, many of us stumbled into the race of competing for duniya's life. They are too busy competing for the wealth of the world and completely neglect the quest for collecting the sufficient supply of the akhirat's life that is far more compromising.
Humans are created to grant success in their life. But still, why there’s some of them who stumbled to their failure? The prime reason that can be identified is, they are not becoming their true self. Allah created them to be distinctive among the rest, but they tend to try in becoming someone else. Why bother to be someone else, if we already being awarded to a particular advantages that we posses individually?
Maybe to them, they don’t exactly realise what are their strong points. Let’s look upon our own self. We must discover what’s the best values we are currently having. The challenge is to know and practice on our own advantages.

| Identify your true advantages. It's the kick-start of everything amazing of yourself. |
The next problem that might arise is, they already know their own advantages and plus points but they reluctant to improve themselves, or not even trying to maximise their self-advantages to the limit. We need to escape from our comfort zone and shift to a more challenging zone in our life. By this way, we will eventually know our true capabilities and then, we can improve ourself for the better. As such, nothing worth having comes easy.
That explain why Allah keep challenging us with series of tests. One of the purpose of the test is no other than to inspire and initiate a hijrah move to a particular person, from doing bad things to constantly practising good deeds. But it's not hopeless thing to do, with small steps, baby one in fact, we can get started down the road to positive changes. This also serves as an act of ‘teaching’ to us.
But why Allah does so? Simply, because the compassionate and love of Allah towards His worshippers are just immensely powerful. Allah will always inspire and support us to leash the best out of all of us. It’s all depend on us at the end of the day. In fact, sometimes we get into such a negative thought of even thinking about making positive changes seems just difficult.

| Always project yourself for the better |
Always be grateful for what Allah had made us today. After all, being born into Islam is indeed been the biggest blessing from Allah.
