I was disappointed to see this site was not about discussing how to find purpose. Instead it's an advertisement for converting to Islam.

The meaning of life is to give life meaning. My good sir. Its not about religion or anything else. It is what you make.

I checked out the first site you linked to. Couldn't get past the third paragraph. I've heard it all before.

Quote:
This feeling of doubt and confusion about the presence of a Creator and whether He sent messengers and prophets to guide mankind must be quite painful because it deprives the Atheist and the Agnostic of tranquility, security and peace of mind. The unbelievers do not have credible answers to the purpose of one’s existence. And thus they say that man lives for himself and for the pleasures of this life. So what happens when life turns sour? What happens when one goes through hardships? It is no coincidence then that the largest number of suicides takes place amongst Atheists, Agnostics and people who do not know their purpose in life. Do you know which country has the largest number of suicides? It’s Japan. In the year ending March 2000, there were 33,000 suicides in Japan. That is 91 suicides per day or 1 suicide every 15 minutes! This despite Japan being the second largest economy in the world wherein people do not have to worry about providing a roof over their heads or about food or medical care.
That bit made me laugh though.

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.

The purpose of life is growth, expansion and evolution. Of course those can be defined in many subtle ways.

Anything else is just icing on one's particular cake.
