Islam a Realistic Religion

Islam and Humanity ( Islam a realistic Religion )

No sphere is left in which the thought and deeds of a Muslims both in his personal and public life are inconsequential for his fate in the hereafter. In short in Islam one cannot find a no man's land to which religion does not lay a claim. That is the reason why Allah exhorts people to accept Islam in its entirety :
