Why Islam ?

I believe all mankind believes in God , their inner soul agrees that there is God or some kind of supernatural power .This world can not come to existence by chance. Once you believe in God you must agree that he has provided us everything we need - Air, Water , Food ,Fuel and all sorts of energy required . So how do you disbelieve that God has not shown us path to live in this world without any guidance ?
Islam is the Divine guidance from the beginning of creation of mankind on this earth - Messenger from God like Abraham ,Moses , Jesus , Mohammed were came to renew the same old message of submitting to will of God. That is Islam .Islam is the Call to eternal progress, individual and communal, spiritual and social, political and economic.It is in essence a Call to revolution. A revolution against corruption, falsehood, greed, ignorance . A revolution against wrong or evil behavior .
First let us look at the objectives of Islam. What is it that our Creator and Sustainer wishes of His creatures? The purpose of Creation?
Allah has given to mankind, and, among His Creation, only to mankind "Free Choice". Each individual is permitted to follow his own inclinations, his own desires - to take the Right Path, or to avoid the Right Path.. The choice is yours. The choice cannot be made unless one has an understanding of Islam.
As Mankind developed from the earliest times, as his observation of Nature as a cohesive whole improved, as his leisure to think increased, he was led to the realization that the Spirits which he had thought were numerous, responsible for all the phenomena that effected his existence, were in fact One. That this One Supreme Spirit whose continuous renewing of Nature was proof of His Reality, His Eternity and His Awesome Power. From this it followed that the Supreme Spirit is Divine, the One Truth, the Creator and Sustainer of Nature itself. Then it dawned upon man that the reason that the Creator had created, was mankind itself - the only creature with intellect, the only creature so fashioned that his only limits or boundaries are his own imagination. Thus the living link of bond between the Supreme Spirit and mankind was forged. A link fashioned out of a limitless Love and Compassion.
A Love that if we are to reach the final link - that of eternal life in His Mansions - has to be reciprocated. Because the gulf between the Supreme Spirit and man is so vast and unimaginable this Love of the Divinity can only be practically manifested through love of mankind for his fellow men. As knowledge of Self, knowledge of Nature and eventually knowledge through Revelation impacted upon him, so the understanding grew that the Supreme Spirit had created all that He has created for a singular purpose through an overwhelming outpouring of Love and Understanding. A Love that has to be reciprocated through the Bond between the Creator and each individual.
The Religion of Islam is the translation of this concept of the Bond between Allah and each individual, into the practical every day activity of every Muslim. This it is that Allah expects each unit of mankind to expend his greatest efforts in demonstrating.
This is the duty of each of us. To change the world so that it is a better place when we leave it, than it was when we entered it. Mankind, the only creation with intelligence and abilities, has been given the responsibility of caring, looking after, the earth and all that is on it. Man is the Steward, the Caretaker, the Manager appointed by Allah whose duty it is to improve, make better the earth and all its inhabitants
If our love for our Creator is to be meaningful, our Stewardship to be fruitful then we need to divest ourselves of all greed and selfishness and work for the betterment - the Good of this world and the Good of the Hereafter - of all. The Way of Muhammad (s) - the Religion of Islam - is the translation of this conception of the Bond between Allah and each individual, into the practical every day activity of every Muslim who desires eternal life.
From Quran - 31:17 and 90:1 7 commands us to establish continuous worship or service to Allah; to command the practice of all that is Right and to eradicate all that is Evil while exhorting each other to Compassion. The establishment, as a way of life of the active, dynamic and meaningful worship of Allah as becomes His stewards on earth practicing all that is right, preventing all that is Wrong, yet in a spirit of Compassion, is the seed from which springs the Spirit of Islam, the same Spirit with which the Prophet Muhammad (s), imbued the hearts of his Companions. Those Companions who launched a society in which those who dwelt therein lived full, natural lives in security , love , justice, beauty , and truth.
This is the aim of Islam on earth This is the objective for which we must aim. This is the community that we must found.
Indeed, Allah has told us, in 9:33 that the Religion of Truth has been sent so that it may prevail over all other beliefs, however much the deniers of the Truth may be adverse.
In addition, in 22:41 Allah says that Muslims are those who, when We give to their authority in the land, establish regular worship (i.e. pursue spiritual development), give regular charity (i.e. pursue economic well being), enjoin all that is right and forbid all that is wrong (i.e. pursue moral and ethical values
