Islam is the religion of total submission of the God – Allah – and the complete acceptance of the teachings and guidance of Allah. The essential doctrines call for absolute faith in Allah; in His prophets—especially Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the Seal; in His Book – The Qur’an’; in the Hereafter and final judgement. Whereas the way for man to go in Hinduism is a tortuous and hazy was with may margar from which the devotee has to select his own, the way in Islam is straight and clear, and the individual has no need to wander about:
“Verily, this is My way, heading straight; follow it; follow not other paths. They will scatter you away from this (great) path.” (Al-Qur’an)
A Western scholar Housten Smith in his book:
The Religions of Man has observed:
“Compared with other religions, Islam spells out the way of life it proposes; it pinpoints it, nailing it down through explicit in junctions. The consequence is a definiteness about this religion that gives it a flavour all its won. A Muslim knows where he stands. He knows who he is and who God is. He knows what his obligations are and if he transgresses these he knows what to do about it. The World of Islam is the exact opposite of Kafkaesque world in which man is separated from his destination, he can’t get through, the lines are jammed, he doesn’t know who he is talking to or who is inside the castle; he knows only that, he has done something terrible enough he can’t find out what it is. Islam has a clarity an order, a precision which is in sharp contrast to the shifting, relative, uncertain, at-sea quality of much of the modern life.”
