All Religions Basically Teach Their Followers To Do Good Deeds, So Why Should A Person Follow Islam?


In the Glorious Quran, Almighty Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ says:

ٱلْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِى وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمَ دِينًا

… This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you, and have chosen Islam as your religion… [Maidah 5:3]

He عَزَّوَجَلَّ also says:

إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ۗ

Indeed the only true religion in the sight of Allah is Islam… [Aal-e-‘Imran 3:19]

And He عَزَّوَجَلَّ says:

وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ﴿٨٥﴾

And if one seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him; and he is among the losers in the Hereafter. [AaI-e-‘Imran 3:85]

Islam is Almighty Allah’s عَزَّوَجَلَّ final message, and it offers a complete legal code for humankind. It eliminates and corrects the human errors than have found their way into previous religions in the realm of both belief and practice. Just as any new revised law supersedes and nullifies what can before it; Islam naturally abrogates all earlier religions.

Without a doubt, one will find in every religion, especially those of divine origins, such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, noble teachings, good moral values, encouragement towards good deeds and warnings against evil. However, what distinguishes Islam from other faiths is that Islam goes beyond simply urging people to be upright and honest. Islam diagnosis illnesses and prescribes the treatment. It gives practical solutions to man’s problems and provides the means of achieving righteousness and eliminating evil from individual and collective lives. Islam is guidance for mankind from the All-Wise Creator عَزَّوَجَلَّ who knows what is best and most suitable for His creation. That is why Islam is called the natural religion of man.
