RE: Islam is a backward religion? Don't upvote this post
The word Islam implies deliberate "Accommodation" or "Surrender" to the Will of God. It gets from the root word "salam," which means peace.
In the Quran, God characterizes that the main reason for which He made humankind is to Worship Him. Islam perceives that mankind has free decision in whether to obey or defy God, at the end of the day we will be considered responsible to God in the following life for the decisions that we make in this life.
Islam places incredible significance in the conviction that the spirit offers life to a human body. In like manner, in its nonappearance, the human body bites the dust and breaks down. Be that as it may, the spirit is everlasting and will be brought together with the body on the Day of Resurrection, when God will raise everybody to respond in due order regarding their deeds on earth. Islam urges the person to center around keeping the spirit sound, through the recognition, acquiescence and love of God. There ought to be a right adjust in reinforcing the spirit and not over-reveling with the joys of the body.
