This
is understood from a verse in the Holy Quran
where Allah says:
"Inda deena inda lahi Islam." (Certainly, the only acceptable way which Allah will accept is Islam).
Islam is from Allah, The Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. As such, it is for Him Alone to command and direct His creation and He Alone is responsible for what He will accept and what He will not accept. It is also for Him Alone to decree what is good and what is bad and He must be the One to show the right path in all things.

Everything
in the life of the creations of Allah, especially for those who
have choices to make (us), must be dictated and clarified by the
One who Created everything in the fist place. We understand from
this that Islam must be a complete and total way of living, explaining
everything in the life from beginning to end and from birth until
death.
Islam
is careful to remind us that it not a religion to be paid mere
lip service; rather it is an all-encompassing way of life that
must be practiced continuously for it to be Islam.
There
are other injunctions and commandments which concern virtually
all facets of one's personal, family and civic life. These include
such matters as diet, clothing, personal hygiene, interpersonal
relations, business ethics, responsibilities towards parents,
spouse and children, marriage, divorce and inheritance, civil
and criminal law, fighting in defense of Islam, relations with
non-Muslims, and so much more.
In
conclusion, we are forced to realize that ISLAM is a complete
way of life for the human being. Everything is covered in Islam
from birth to death to live in the complete submission to the
Will of the One Who Created man in the first place.
