Why are you here?

We were observing a whole night of prayers yesterday as part of our month of fasting. This is the night when we believe the Holy Prophet (may peace of God be upon him) received the revelation. It is supposed to be a very powerful night.

During a reflection moment, I thought: If I was born with no material goods and I will die without taking material goods with me, then what is the purpose of my life? My goal was to get a response to this question during the night.
