We live in this planet earth and call is DUNIYA. So, why do we address it duniya?
Because the word
signifies the meaning in itself. The word Duniya has come from two meanings. And Shockingly, both of them indicate the other world. And both indicate the same. The one is Duniya is called duniya because "Li- DunuWhihah" , because of its' closeness. We only call something close where there is something distant. Something being close indicates something far, that is distant but to come . And the other meaning comes from "Li Dana atihah" ,So duniya is called duniya because it's Dana-atun that means its' degraded status , humiliated nature , its' inferior status. Either of those words , that means there is something superior . It is both constricted in terms of time that it gives and status that it offers .Now this word Duniya indicates something Superior in status as well as limitless in existence , the abode of permanence and the uncovering of secrets , the hereafter . So, the both origin of the word “Duniya” indicates the hereafter. May the Almighty Allah give us success in this Duniya and the after.
