ALLAH’S (ﷻ) PURPOSE IN CREATING YOU
Allah (ﷻ) in the Holy Qur'an tells you the truth, if you are not aware of that may Allah make aware of that. So He tells you:
اِنَّهٗ يَبْدَؤُا الْخَلْقَ
Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation (Surah Yunus, 10:4)
He created you, for what? To look at you? He doesn't need you. He is al-Ghani, He is the One that no need of no one. Doesn't need your work, doesn't need your praise. He has countless angels that are praising Him. He has countless creations that are praising Him. He has countless trees that are praising Him. He has countless birds that are praising Him. He has countless stars that are praising Him. He needs you to say alhamdulillah?
He is Hameed, He is already praised. He doesn't need your praise to add. Your praise does not add anything to Him, don't get proud of your worship. May Allah make us understand the Holy Qur'an. So then He said:
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ بِٱلْقِسْطِ
and then repeats [the creation] that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds, in justice. (Surah Yunus, 10:4)
In this dunya He starts you for what? Then He makes you lose your life 70, 80, 90, whatever it is, and He brings you back for what? To give you, to reward you.
لِيَجْزِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ
that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds,
So the goal of creation is Allah's (ﷻ) generosity to you. That's why He created you. He wants to give you. He is al-Kareem, the All-Generous. How would you know His character if He doesn't give? He created you to know Him. He didn't created you to play with the computer and find out which stocks are best.
He will give you from His karam, His richness and generosity. He created you to give you. Look at that honor! But what do you do? You run away from Him, saying, "No, no, no, we don't need that."
So Allah's (ﷻ) goal of creations is to grant and give and more than give, to increase His giving. Moment by moment His giving increases.
