Islam is a constituent part of life. It tells us how to manage all activities of life in a sound and ethical way. Everyone can easily understand the Quran and follow the footsteps of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), to the best of his or her ability. Allah assured that He will accept the deeds that each soul has the ability to offer: “On no soul does Allah place a burden greater than it can bear.” (Quran 2:286)
Islam established a clear system of worship, laws about how to live life, civil rights, political rights, social issues and rights, laws of marriage and divorce, inheritance rights and all others which we are dealing in our daily life routine. It is not for the mosque only; it is for daily life, a guide to life in all its aspects. As we know Islam is a guide to life in all its aspects so it keeps away a Muslim from the confusion of any type because Islam is logical and rational.
