Why do I believe in Islam?

Islam, the fastest growing religion in the world, is gradually changing people's mindsets into two opposite trends. One is afraid that Islam as a potential threat is going to destroy the modern society and civilization while other is inclined to accept Islam as a guidance and an inspiration in their lifetime. For me, Islam is a system which leads me to a suitable path. Maybe for some people, they do not need an invisible source as a pillar for protecting and calming their soul and body when they are in difficulties. However, for me, my mind is not stronger than those people who always believe themselves as independent entities. 


Believing in God is the most important matter when a person becomes a Muslim. Without this principle, nothing left. Admittedly, humans are weakness although we always say humans could overcome the nature. As Muslims, we always rely on the Oneness who gives a clear instruction in this life and the hereafter. No matter what kinds of situations, whether happiness or adversity, we should always appreciate and remember Allah. This principle leads or moulds me to a path of 'ideal Muslim' who is clearly inscribed in the Quran. Humble, modesty, honest and justice that are basic requirements of ethic and norms but these characters seemingly are pointless in this society because we could not get richer or have a higher promotion in career only by possessing these traits. In spite of this, being Muslims, we should always insist on this standards and I believe these are prerequisites in the blessing of the Creator.
