Islam is a monotheistic religion which helps individuals organise all aspects of their daily life not only at an individual but also at a collective level. It establishes a clear system of law and governance, discusses the civil and political rights of citizens, and deals with existing and upcoming social issues. It is a comprehensive guide for creating a just social, economic, and political system.
The Holy Quran empahsises that a Muslim but live a morally rich life and instructs them to be honest, truthful, modest, and just while on the other hand it prohibits followers from being envious and hypocritical. Such attributes should be a part of everyday life even when it comes to dealing with others or conducting business matters. With regard to one’s intellectual life, Islam requires us to become truth seekers, by following clear and indisputable evidence acquired through experience and testing. The Quran clearly indicates that an individual must be passionate in acquiring as much knowledge as he can. When it comes to dealing with family matters, Muslims need to ethically and responsibly fulfil their responsibilities towards their blood and other relatives, especially their parents, spouse and children.
All these aspects, and more, prove that Islam is the perfect religion for all of humanity since it serves as the best solution to all sorts of problems no matter how perplexing they may be. It is an absolute answer for all those seeking an ideal way of living.
