 youDo YOU Really have “ BACK BONE”  !!!

     Many of us are not as Strong as we may think that we are, or that we would  someday like to be.  The Real Question is WHY?   To began to answer this , we will look at why we  were created any way.  Allah (God ) said that HE created men and Jinn only to praise HIM along. To really praise Allah, we also have to deal with what is called  “The Dunya”.

Dunya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on line.

Dunyā (دُنْيا) is a word in Arabic (also Persian, Dari, Pashto, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi and loanword in Malay language) which means, in Islamic terminology, the temporal world—and its earthly concerns and possessions—as opposed to the eternal spiritual realm, or the hereafter (ākhira

• Ordain for us the good in this world [al-dunyā] and in the hereafter [al-ākhira]. (Sura 7:156)
• You are my Friend in this world [al-dunyā] and the next [al-ākhira]. (S 12:101)

Muslims are encouraged to ponder the verses of the Qur'an, and to do their best to not get too attached to this temporal existence and its trappings. In Islam, dunyā is a test; success and failure lead to paradise or hell respectively.

“  What is the life of this world but play and amusement?
But best is the home in the hereafter, for those who are righteous. Will you not then understand?” (Surat al-An'am: 32  The Qur’an)

One of the key factor of  “dunya” appears to be “ the use of logic”.

What seems logical to the mind often escapes the heart as well as clear thinking and chooses.

Islam (Arabic: الإسلام‎ al-’islām  is the monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur’an, a text considered the verbatim word of God (Arabic: الله‎, Allah), and the teachings and normative example (called the Sunnah and Hadith) of Muhammad ( May the peace and blessings of Allah be with him.),  considered  the last Prophet of Allah (God). In addition to referring to the religion itself, the word Islam means 'submission to God', 'peace', and 'way to peace^“ An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim.

Muslims believe that  Allah (God)  is One and Incomparable  Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed at many times and places before, including through the prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus^.  Muslims maintain that previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or corrupted over time,  but consider the Qur'an to be both unaltered and the final revelation from God. Religious concepts and practices include the five pillars of Islam, which are basic concepts and obligatory acts of worship, and following Islamic law, which touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, encompassing everything from banking and welfare, to warfare and the environment.

Most Muslims belong to one of two denominations; with 80-90% being Sunni and 10-20% being Shia.^[8][9][10] About 13% of Muslims live in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country,^[11] 25% in South Asia,^[11] 20% in the Middle East,^[12] 2% in Central Asia, 4% in the remaining South East Asian countries, and 15% in Sub-saharan Africa.^[13] Sizable communities are also found in China and Russia, and parts of the Caribbean. Converts and immigrant communities are found in almost every part of the world. With about 1.41-1.57 billion Muslims, comprising about 21-23% of the world's population (see Islam by country),^[13][14] Islam is the second-largest religion and one of the fastest-growing religions in the world.
