dude how is that a higher purpose, thats like the man that stays home with his mom till he's 30 because he loves her so much, it sounds sweet, but its retarded and a little :camp: if there's a higher purpose then creating successful offspring in your mind, fine, but dont shove your stunted emotional development bullshit down our throats and tell us were evil.

the qu'ran states specifically "do not become a hermit". the qu'ran encourages people to have families, enjoy this world; but to also pray regularly, worship regularly and prepare for the afterlife as well.
you suggest an idea of imbalance, solely focusing on worship alone 24/7. the qu'ran focuses on balance; states that the world was created for a purpose and not to be ignored, thus people should engage and enjoy anything that is not specifically prohibited to them. living in accordance with god's order is a form of worship, and showing appreciation for life.
you and the qu'ran agree 100% on this issue.
sura 57:27
Subsequent to them, we sent our messengers. We sent Jesus the son of Mary, and we gave him the Injeel (Gospel), and we placed in the hearts of his followers kindness and mercy. But they invented hermitism which we never decreed for them. All we asked them to do was to uphold the commandments approved by GOD. But they did not uphold the message as they should have. Consequently, we gave those who believed among them their recompense, while many of them were wicked.
other translations say "monasticism" as in living as monks: separate, celibate...etc.
sura 5:87
O ye who believe! make not unlawful the good things which God hath made lawful for you, but commit no excess: for God loveth not those given to excess.
sura 7:32-33
Say, "Who prohibited the nice things GOD has created for His creatures, and the good provisions?" Say, "Such provisions are to be enjoyed in this life by those who believe. Moreover, the good provisions will be exclusively theirs on the Day of Resurrection." We thus explain the revelations for people who know.
Say, "My Lord prohibits only evil deeds, be they obvious or hidden, and sins, and unjustifiable aggression, and to set up beside GOD powerless idols, and to say about GOD what you do not know."
the qu'ran promotes the balance you suggest.
