Islam is a beautiful faith that emphasizes ((the oneness of God)) and the importance of following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. 🏵️🏵️
Its followers believe that the purpose of life is to worship God and live a righteous life, in line with the Quran and Sunnah.

The Quran states that God created humans to worship Him, saying, "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me" (51:56).
This means that the ultimate goal in life is to seek the pleasure of God and to do good deeds.

In addition to this, Islam puts a great emphasis on love, compassion, and peace. In fact, the Prophet Muhammad said, "None of you has faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself" (Sahih Bukhari).
This means that one should treat others with kindness, just as they would like to be treated.

It's also important to mention that Islam believes in the concept of free will, where individuals have the choice to follow their own path in life. The Quran says, "There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion" (2:256).
This means that nobody should ever be forced to adopt a particular faith, and that each person has the right to choose.

Moreover, Islam doesn't support any form of violence or harm towards oneself or others.
In fact, the Prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever intentionally harms himself, Allah will harm him; and whoever mistreats himself, Allah will mistreat him" (Sunan Ibn Majah). This emphasizes the importance of treating oneself and others with care and respect.

Finally, Islam encourages its followers to have faith and trust in God, even in the face of difficulties and struggles.
The Quran says, "Allah is sufficient as a Protector, and Allah is sufficient as a Helper" (4:45).
This means that God is always there to help and protect those who believe in Him.

To sum up, Islam promotes free will, love, compassion, peace, and trust in God. Its message is to live a good life, do good deeds, and make the world a better place for everyone.
