This shows that these things are not the purpose of life. These are the means of life. Means are taken away while aims are not snatched away. This is proof enough that our purpose is worship. We take the nûr (illumination) of our worship to Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'la. Another proof is that Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'la grants us the ability to take His name till the time of death because this is the aim of life. Many powers terminate after sixty to seventy years. Hadhrat Hakeemul Ummat (Rahimahullâh) states that when the strength is finished, the old man tells his old wife, "Throw sand on taking and giving, let's have pure love." Friends, all strengths terminate in old age except the ability to take Allâh's name. To the extent that some people became blind and deaf but their tongues were moving. Those who were in the habit of taking Allâh's name, only they took His name. While those who were not in the habit of taking His name, who secretly went to the sewerage area and committed lewd acts had a disastrous end.
