I start with The Name of ALLAH (GOD), Who is Most Beneficient, Most Merciful.
First of all, Peace, Blessings and Mercy of ALLAH be on u.
thanx for asking such a question. and i assume u know the answer, but i will answer it for All the rest. i m sure every Religion tells abt the Best Way to Live Life i.e. Peacefully, But Islam is The Only Religion which also Shows us The Best Way to Live Life, Peacefully. Islam is The Religion of Peace, Love, Harmony & Humanity.
Islam tells us what can we eat (Halal) and what Not to eat (Haram) ... Islam has mentioned the animals, the birds and the fishes that can be eaten and categorized them accordingly :- For example only herbivorous animals are to be eaten, birds with straight beak (except crow) and a parrot can be eaten, almost all kind of fishes can be eaten. pork is strongly Prohibited and is Haram.
Islam tells u what u should wear ......... there are actually a few conditions regarding it :-
1) Clothes should abt able to hide the private parts of the body. For male, it should atleast hide from navel till knees, also clothes are Not be kept below ankles. For female, it should cover all from head to toe, except face and hands can be kept in open.
2) Clothes should be appropriate, i.e. Neither too thin, that they reveal the body, Nor too tight, that they reveal the figure.
3) Clothes should Not be of the opposite sex, i.e males should Not wear women's clothes, and women should Not wear men's clothes.
4) Clothes should be plane & simple, they don't have to be worn for show-off or superficiality, and Not top bright that they Attract the opposite sex.
5) Clothes should Not resemble the sign of the unbelievers, like a Muslim should Not be dressed like a pastor or buddhist monks.
6) i believe there is a sixth point as well, but i cant remember at the moment.
Islam teaches us to greet everyone by sending over the Message of Peace (optionally Mercy and Blessings also) to the other person, and it is to come from the heart as well. And, the response is to be with greater enthusiasm, But if Not, it should atleast be an equal response to the greetings of the 1st person.
Islam tells us 5 times a prayers .............. to remember ALLAH (GOD) 5 times is Obligatory, and those who Do it get a Reward, and It is a gift, to remember GOD, so many times a day ....... as Not only we go in The Presence of GOD, but also all are sins (except for the Huge ones) committed in b/w 2 prayers are erased, as though we Never committed them. Muslims are told to pray in the morning before the sunrise, then soon after noon, then as the evening approaches, then when the sun sets down, and the last at night.
Islam tells us when to work ........ ALLAH (GOD) HIMSELF tells us in The Holy Quran, that HE made day for work, and night for rest.
Islam tells us abt the true essence of knowledge .......... we should acquire that knowledge that we can use it in service to the humanity, and for the welfare of all, But it is discouraged to seek that knowledge which cause more harm than good (for example, astrology) or even that, which Blows up like Nukes, and cause mass murder. Seeking Knowledge is Obligatory on every Muslim, infact it is an obligation of everyone on himself, as it eradicates ignorance which is one of The Biggest Crime a person can commit against oneself.
Islam tell us to have excellent relationships with neighbours ...... it is a Hadith (Prophet's Sayings) that ALLAH (GOD) Commanded so many rights of neighbours to Prophet Mohammad (May Peace and Blessings of ALLAH Be Upon Him) through Angel Gabriel (Peace Be Upon Him), that Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) got worried that neighbours will get a share of inheritance of a Muslim's property ... Another Hadith tells us that, A person will Never enter Jannah (Heaven/Paradise), who eats to his capacity, but his neighbour sleeps on empty stomach. So, it is rightly concluded that there are many a Rights of a Neighbour on a Muslim, irrespective of the fact that He is a Muslim or Not.
Islam also guides teens who go through puberty, that they should Not indulge in the footsteps of satan (like dating, or drugs) etc., as it leads u closer to satan i.e. u can commit a Big Sin (like pre-marital sex, or a drug addict). Islam tells teen to have a control on their desires, as it is the Most Likely time to fall for satan's evil, if they give in to their desires. Islam tells us that since the body of a person is changing, he should be patient with it, and since hormones are raging, a person should be as patient as he can, and even Fast if he wants to, so as to overcome the desire to evil. And, if u can get Married (i.e., u should have some resources), then Do So and it is very encouraged, as Islam also says that getting Married and be committed to it, Completes one-half of ur faith (as it refrains u from, many evilry as fornification, or indulging in illicit acts).
Islam commands us that is the right of every Muslim on another Muslim, to go, see and ask the person abt his health when he is sick, and it is Not only for Muslims, but also Non-Muslims, as our Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) use to go to homes of Non-Muslims, as well to inquire abt their health, when they used to be sick.
Islam commands us on every act of life, to tell us the Best way to Live our life. For example, when u buy a plasma tv, u get an instruction manual with it by its manufacturer, so u can use tv with its optimum features. Similarly, we humans are a sophisticated system, and we have been given The Book of Guidance (The Holy Quran) to Live our Life the best way possible, and That Book is from Our Creator ALLAH (GOD), and also we can gather things from the Life of The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) (His Customory Actions (Sunnah) and His Teachings (Hadiths) ), as our faith is incomplete without following The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), as He was The Living Example of The Holy Quran (like a prototype of ur plasma tv), and so His is The Best Way of Life, and He is The Best Human-Being there ever was , there ever is, and there ever will be. So, follow what ALLAH (GOD) Has Commanded us to Do, and also follow The Way of The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him).
i invite eveyone to Islam. Research on ur own abt Islam. Read The Holy Quran, Read Books of Hadiths (Prophet's Sayings), Research by Authentic Reliable Books & Sites (Don't count on sites that defame Islam, 'coz they spread mis-information and misconceptions abt Islam, and they cant even back up there claims with sufficient proofs, thus they are basically rambling Falsehood abt Islam). Do all this research on ur own and dont believe in anyone's hearsay (Not even mine). May GOD (ALLAH) guide u on The Path of Seeking The Truth. Peace to All.
