Because when Muslims compare the recommendations and teachings of Islam with those of other religions, they find big differences:
1-Islam is the only perfect religion, which introduces everything man needs anywhere and at all times, creed, acts of worship, manners, dealings and legislations.
2-The teachings and acts of worship of Islam are the only ones which can be flexible. Acts of worship of other religions need certain and fixed places, moreover, they need to be done in the presence of certain religious people like Christian bishops and Jewish rabbis, and ordinary people of these religions can't do these acts of worship without those specialists.
However, in Islam, a Muslim can perform acts of worship anywhere and anytime alone or in a group (with or without a specialized leader). In Islam, there are neither bishops nor rabbis. The Prophet, (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him), said: "The whole land was made a pure place and a mosque for me" (1), He also said to his followers: "Whenever the time of prayers comes, a Muslim can perform prayers" .(2)
3-Islam is the only religion, which set perfect legislations to regulate the relationship among individuals, families and communities. It decreed relations and laws of marriage, inheritance and relations. It also set the perfect rules of buying and selling in all conditions. It organized the economic life upon the best bases known and used by modern economic systems.
4-Islam is the only religion that strengthens the correlations among Muslims, individuals, families and groups, whether they are old or young. These strong unique correlations made western people wish to have a similar discipline that urges to respect the old, have mercy upon the young, respect parents, keep the ties of kinship, give rights to neighbors, respect scholars and others. Such social rights can strengthen Islamic correlations like saying Assalam Alaykom when meet somebody, giving the right of someone who sneezes, visiting sick people, sharing the funeral of dead Muslims, sharing people their happy occasions and supporting them at hard times. These characteristics in Muslim societies made western communities call to fulfill Islamic values and morals. This happened in a German program on the radio when the presenter asked German people to apply these Islamic values in their lives to overcome selfishness, isolation and introversion, nervous and psychological diseases, which prevailed in spite of good economic conditions.
