who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no

. That is your decision. As soon as you reach adulthood and
you are mentally competent, you are then committed whether
you make the Shahadah (witness) or not. Allah created this
world for a specific purpose. He has given you the intellect to
differentiate between right and wrong. He has sent many
Prophets as warners. We are created to worship Him alone. That
is our purpose.
Surah 3:191:
“... Our Lord! You have not created (all) this
without purpose, Glory to You!
... “
Surah 90:8-10:
“
Have We not made for him (human being) a
pair of eyes? And a tongue and a pair of lips? And shown him
the two ways. (good and evil)?”
Surah 51:56
: “
And I (Allah) created not the jinns and mankind
except they should worship Me (alone).” (Every good deed
done sincerely for the pleasure of Allah alone is also worship.)
Surah 18:7
: “
Verily! We have made that which is on earth as an
adornment for it, in order that We may test them (mankind) as
to which of them is best in deeds.”
