Introduction:
Islam is the light that guides humanity to righteousness, harmonizing pure instinct with divine laws. Discover in this article why Islam is a comprehensive approach that touches every aspect of our lives, leading to happiness in this world and success in the hereafter.
Islam is the religion that God approved for his creation, it is the message of the prophets and messengers, and it is the approach of the saints and the righteous, but the question is: Why is Islam a way of our lives? This is for the following reasons:
1- Islam is the religion of instinct:
This is evident from the verses of the Holy Qur’an: {So set your face to the religion Hanifa Fitrat Allah on which people break their fast, there is no change for the creation of Allah that valuable religion, but most people do not know} [Romans: 30], {And when your Lord took from the sons of Adam from their backs their offspring and testified against themselves, are you not your Lord? They said, yes, we testified that you should say on the Day of Resurrection that we were oblivious to this} [Norms: 172]. From the words of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him): Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “No one is born unless he is born according to instinct, and his parents are his Jews, and they support him and embody him. 30]”
Islam is the religion of instinct, in whose teachings the soul senses happiness, security and safety, tranquility and tranquility, and a good life.
2- Islam is the religion of Allah – blessed and exalted -:
The Almighty said: {The religion with God is Islam, and those who wrote the Book did not differ except after what knowledge came to them as a prostitute among them, and whoever disbelieves in the signs of God, God is quick to calculate} [Al-Imran: 19], {It is prescribed for you from the religion what Noah commanded and which we revealed to you and what we commanded Abraham, Moses and Jesus to establish Religion and do not disperse in it} [Shura: 13], {And Abraham commanded his sons and Jacob, my son, that Allah has chosen religion for you, so do not die unless you are Muslims} [Al-Baqarah: 132], {Yes, whoever surrenders his face to Allah and is a benefactor, he has his reward with his Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor do they grieve} [Al-Baqarah: 112]. Islam is the religion of Allah (SWT) that Allah (SWT) has approved for this humanity, so it is good to follow His teachings and apply His rulings, {and who is better said than those who called to Allah and did good deeds and said that I am a Muslim} [Chapter: 33].
3- Islam is the religion of civilization and progress:
Islamic civilization saved the world from the darkness of ignorance, backwardness and moral and moral collapse that prevailed in the world several decades before Islam, and Islamic civilization derived its origins and tributaries from the Holy Qur’an and the purified Sunnah, and then its openness to all peoples of the earth, does not differentiate between color, sex or religion, and it had one of the distinctive characteristics that qualified it to occupy the leading place in the world, and the most important of these characteristics:
A- Universality:
The message of Islam is characterized by its broad horizon and its universal message, and this has been clarified in the Holy Qur’an’s declaration of the unity of the human species, despite the diversity of its races, origins and homelands, in the words of the Almighty: “O people, we created you from a male and a female and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may know each other, if I honor you with God, I will fear you” [Al-Hujurat: 13].
His message – may God’s peace and blessings be upon him – was a mercy to all the worlds, and the Almighty said – addressing his Messenger -: {And we sent you only as a mercy to the worlds} [Al-Anbiya: 107], and the Almighty said in another place: {And we sent you only to all people}[Sheba: 28]; Therefore, the message of Islamic civilization was a universal message shared by every race and color.
This is the first characteristic of Islamic civilization, and it is unique to it and has truly become a sublime world civilization.
B- Oneness[3]:
One of the most prominent features of the civilization of Islam is that it was based on the absolute oneness of God, Lord of the Worlds, and this oneness had a clear impact that was clearly reflected on their civilization and their contributions to the march of humanity, which contributed to raising the level of man and liberating him from tyranny, and directing attention to God alone, the creator of the universe and its path;} [Fatir: 3].
This is what the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) declared in his farewell sermon: “O people, your Lord is one, and your father is one, is there no virtue for an Arab over a non-Arab, or for an Ajami over an Arab, or for a red over a black, or for a black over a red except by piety”.

Balance and Moderation:
The balance between the requirements of the soul and the requirements of matter, the balance between human thoughts and imaginations, the balance between the sciences of Sharia and the sciences of life, the balance between this world and the hereafter, the balance between idealism and realism, the balance between rights and duties, the balance between individualism and social interest; The Almighty said: {God does not cost a soul except its ability} [Al-Baqarah: 286], and the Almighty said: {And seek while God has given you the home of the hereafter and do not forget your share of the world} [Al-Qasas: 77], and thus the civilization of Islam was characterized by balance and moderation.
D- Ethics:
In governance, science, legislation, war, peace, economy and the family, moral principles have been observed in Islamic civilization in legislation and application, reaching a far and noble level that no civilization has reached in ancient and modern times. Because it stems from it, and is attached to it, and thus it is like a precious essence that does not change or change, and if conditions change, there are developments.
4- The Islamic curriculum carries the elements of adult life:
Islam is the religion that God approved for his creation, and Islam carries in its teachings all the elements of a decent adult life; The Almighty said: {Let them worship the Lord of this house * who fed them from hunger and secured them from fear} [Quraish: 3, 4], and the Almighty said: {If the people of the villages believed and feared, we would have opened blessings from heaven and earth on them} [Al-A’raf: 96], and the Almighty said: {If they had established the Torah and the Gospel and what was revealed to them from their Lord, they would have eaten from above them and from under their feet} [The Table: 66], and the Almighty said through Noah – peace be upon him -: {I said ask forgiveness of your Lord that he was forgiving * He sends heaven on you as a stream * and extends you with money and sons and makes gardens for you and makes rivers for you} [Noah: 10, 12], and he said – most of it -: {And if they were upright on the way, we would have watered them with treacherous water} [Jinn: 16], and the Almighty said: {O people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him, He will send heaven upon you and increase you strength to your strength} [Hud: 52], and this fact is overlooked by all positive doctrines.
The belief in God, his piety, the application of the principles of religion – is not an isolated matter from the reality of life, and this is God’s promise, and who is truer than God recently?
5- The Islamic approach is obligatory:
The Almighty said: {So your Lord does not believe until they judge you in what they argue among them and then do not find in themselves embarrassment of what you spent and deliver Taslim} [An-Nisa: 65], and the Almighty said: {Afkmk ignorance want and who is better than God as a rule for the people they believe} [Table: 50], who dares to claim that he legislates for people and rules in them, better than what God legislates for them and rules in them? What argument can he put forward in the hands of this broad claim?
The issue that the Islamic approach is obligatory must be clear and decisive in the conscience of the Muslim, and not hesitate to apply it to the reality of people, and unless the conscience of the Muslim is resolved in this issue, he will not have a balance, nor will he be clear about the method, and will not take a single step in the right direction.
6- Western scholars praise the Islamic method:
What also increases our conviction in the Islamic approach is the words of neutral Western scholars, who have studied Islam carefully, and have deduced from these Islamic teachings that Islam is the solution to all our contemporary problems, and from these statements and opinions.
Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate for the American economy:
Joseph “Stiglitz” defended the Islamic banking system, considering that this system is a step forward to avoid crises in the future, as “Stiglitz” stressed that Islamic banks are really based on sharing risks between the bank and the creditor, especially since loan policies are safer than other banks, stressing that Islamic banking is a step forward, but it is not enough in order to avoid the crisis, as other things must contribute to avoiding the crisis and falling into it in the future.
Bertrand Russell:
He is one of Britain’s great philosophers, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950, said: “I read about Islam and the Prophet of Islam, and I found that it is a religion that came to become the religion of the world and humanity.
Islam is an integrated approach:
In it, beliefs are integrated with worship, transactions and morals to make a good life for the Muslim and those around him, and this approach is concerned with virtues and transactions, as well as beliefs and worship; The Almighty said: ﴿ God commands justice, charity and the delivery of kinship and forbids fornication, vice and prostitution, preaching to you, so that you may remember ﴾ [Al-Nahl: 90].
Islam does not accept division until the desired goals of happiness are achieved in this world and the hereafter, the Almighty said: ﴿ Do you believe in some of the Book and disbelieve in some, so what is the reward for those of you who do that except disgrace in this life and on the Day of Resurrection they will return to the most severe torment and God is not oblivious to what you do ﴾ [Al-Baqarah: 85].
For example, the hijab and turning a blind eye are integrated with the etiquette of asking permission and marriage, and the punishment of flogging or stoning for the adulterer to spread modesty and chastity, prevent the crime of adultery and preserve symptoms and genealogy.
Islam is a realistic approach:
Islam employs human natures, tendencies and desires, and confronts them for the good of the individual and society, for example:
Islam legislated marriage and made it a reward and reward, and forbade adultery and threatened those who fell into it with punishment, Islam is not shackles in people’s necks, nor restrictions in their legs, but it is a guiding sign and guidance to regulate their affairs, Islam came to achieve the wisdom of God in creating lust in man, which is the motive for building the earth and a force for building society; [Women: 3].
Until this is done, Islam forbids and prohibits adultery, so that lineages and accounts do not mix, and lust is a motive for destruction and a cause for pain.
The Almighty said: “Do not approach adultery, for it was obscene and bad in a way” [Al-Isra’a: 32].
Allah has placed barriers that prevent men from reaching women or vice versa, (He forbade shaking hands with foreign women, being alone with her, mixing between men and women, ordering the hijab, forbidding make-up and forgiveness, forbidding women to travel alone without a mahram, and commanding men and women to disregard their gaze… etc).
I conclude:
The civilization of the West, which has been blessed with its scientific beauty for some time, and has subjected the whole world with the results of this science to its countries and nations, is now bankrupt and defeated, and its origins are destroyed and its systems and rules are destroyed; Torn, and the League of Nations is a ghost without a soul and no influence, and the hand of the great in them signs with others the pact of peace and tranquility on the one hand, and then the second hand slaps him on the other hand the harshest blows, and so the world became – thanks to these unjust policies greedy – like a ship in the middle of the yam, hot captain and storms came upon it from everywhere, humanity is all tormented naughty anxious troubled, has been suffocated by the fires of greed and matter, it is in dire need of torture from the true evil of Islam, washing away the harms of misery, And he takes her to happiness.
Summary :
Islam is a holistic approach to life, blending faith, morals, and interactions to ensure the well-being of individuals and society.
