I'm not sure that life has a purpose as such, but I certainly think we can live fulfilling lives and set big goals for ourselves. Of course if latching onto (or staying in) a religion makes you feel fulfilled, there may be some value to it.

I find many of Islam's aesthetic achievements beautiful. But Islam is also an in-group and in many ways very political in nature, so there's really more to it than just the aesthetics and philosophy.
