Wow! That seems to be a lot of duties as a Muslim; well, a Christian has no such duties, can eat and drink as he wishes, if he makes a sin, than the preacher can forgive him… easy life…yes!

Q: How about Buddhists? Wisdom, no worshipping of God, but recent updates, now can worship god, great!

Q: Islam woman has to wear a veil?; what! It is nonsense? It is discrimination of the genders overpowered by man!!
A: The veil is the outdoor clothing for woman, but at home she is fee to unveil and wear clothes that are modest.

Q: Why Muslim needs to fast, hey dude!, you are killing yourself and deprive of luxuries.
A: The objective is to purify the hearts and soul; to support poor people with alms.
To be gratitude of God’s blessings.

Well sir, there are many articles in the internet that may lead to confusion, especially if information comes from the west, and writers talking about Islam from views of a western non Muslim opinions. Ok, please do some research; it may perhaps open gates of wisdom.

Let me explain; Logically the creator of the universe knows better about the creation, he does not create planet earth like a box, because if you reach the other end of the angle than it will become suddenly dark, cause no sunshine, but due to the spherical shape of earth the image of the rising sun fades in through time and shows a majestic and awesome view. The creator has wisdom. God do not create the sun like a light bulb. But the sun the earth had been created millions of years before man. If man has to live in this earth at the time of creation, he could not survive, because it is surrounded by gas.

If you ask the experts who created laptops, sirs why do you have software’s running in the program? He looks at you and laugh. ha ha ha! Smart guy! If humans are created with the bone structure and flesh without brain, what do you thing he is? Android. Thanks guys, right answer. But the creator created man in the best form. Well, you have the body structure, the brain, plus the soul (internal energy). Do you observe that some people who are now in a mental hospital; he has a functional body, the soul but unfortunately lost the brain function. Sorry, that’s too bad. But there are some people who have the body function but the soul left the body, but there is a possibility he comes alive, Yes, but with god’s will…

Hey guys! Let me talk to you straight, sharp and crisp.

Everywhere you turn your head, you will notice the visual creation and effects, that is; in actual fact, God wants to lead and guide you to the truth…so in the day of resurrection you would not blame him, he has given you guidance via your eyes, a mind that can think and choose between right and wrong, good and evil.

Hey! This is nonsense! I am atheist. Life is created, zip zap! Shing…it’s magic due to the creation of mother’s nature… good guy. Have you not seen wittered and yellow leaves on a tree, someday it will fall to the ground and decompose. So do humans and creation, our life span in earth is limited. Those people before us had wittered from the face of this earth (expired due date).

Ok, let’s get back to our topic: internal value of man.
If you are taking a course in a university or college, there will numerous assignment or exams. Same goes to companies such as IKEA, the necessity to test their products, so as to withstand usage for a couple of years.

Q: But how do you test life?
A: Examination! That’s a right answer, thanks again!

Q: But how does God test man in this life?
A: There are numerous tests; the objective is to observe, how man manage his life. He has option to choose, he has duties to perform.

If the declaration of faith to god by verbal word, than life will be easy… but unfortunately, verbal declaration must be supported with belief and practical deeds. Because it is easy to declare; but practical deeds is difficult.
That’s good!

Q: But Christians belief in god? 
A: Yes! But unfortunately unapproved by the Creator, if you buy windows software you need to have authentication or verification process. Allah sends many messengers to mankind to prove the existence of God, Allah … but on the way to evidence and guidance, man changes to fulfil his desires. Islam is the last revelation of God to mankind via the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, with the last holy book, the Quran. Get an English Quran, read it…perhaps you will be guided to the truth.

Q: Why do we have to trouble ourselves to do practical deeds? And abstain ourselves from alcohol, drugs, adultery and list goes on..and on..
A: Due to God’s wisdom, He is more knowledgeable; what is good for man and the surroundings. If all food is permissible;  than frogs could not survive on this earth,  because man also eat flies and insects. But since Allah created man in the best form, he chooses the appropriate food for man. Allah declares in the Quran, that Allah only accepts Islam as a way of life. Ho humans can choose other form of worshipping or association; it is against the creator of the universe. That’s God’s policy; we have no right to change it.

With the tips on the internal values; hopefully, it will guide us. If you still have doubts, it is best to do more research and ask question.
