The Belief in Allah and Psychological Security	Top
When a person believes in Allah, this belief gives him a strong feeling of security, which is a basic psychological need. This belief in Allah gives the believer a strong support in critical moments and gives him continuous hope against all sources of despair. This belief in Allah gives strength to the sick and hope to the hopeless.
The Belief in Allah and Ethical Responsibility	Top
A person who believes in Allah tends to be more ethically responsible than a person who does not believe. This belief makes a person feel that he is observed by Allah everywhere and on all occasions. This feeling makes a person as clean as possible and as far from sin as possible.
Belongingness	Top
A Muslim is urged to perform prayers with other men in groups. Friday-noon prayer must be a collective prayer. Pilgrimage is a collective practice. These practices help man to grow socially and to feel that he belongs. The feeling of belongingness is one of the basic psychological needs of man.
Away from Tension	Top
Islam regulates the relation of the two sexes and discourages any unnecessary intermingling of the two sexes. This helps both sexes to be away from any source of sexual temptation or tension.
Away from Sin	Top
Islam instructs men and women what to wear and what parts of the body they should cover. The woman should cover all her body except the hands and the face. The purpose is to protect both the man and the woman from sin and tension. Medicine has proved that neurological tension ends up with many diseases in the heart and the digestive system.
No Alcoholic Drinks	Top
Islam prevents the drinking of alcoholic drinks in order to protect the human body from their damaging effect. Such drinks also damage the functions of the mind and the nervous system Preventing Crimes Islam legislates the killing of the murderer because this is the most effective way to protect society from more murders by the same murderer or new murderers. (slam legislates severe punishments for robbers and thieves because this is the best way to stop such crimes.
Protecting Family	Top
Islam prohibits adultery and legislates a severe punishment for adulterers and adulteresses to protect marriage as a sacred institution, to protect the family as the best social cell for human life, and to protect children from homelessness. Islam punishes a false accuser of adultery, because no liar has the right to spoil others' lives.
Ready Solutions	Top
Islam gives man solutions to his major problems. These solutions shorten the way for man and give him the help and the guidance that he needs. Without these solutions, man is unable to reach a decision on many issues. If we look around, we find that many countries have several political parties that adopt contradictory policies and give contradictory answers to the questions of economics, politics, and law. This shows us that man alone is not capable of solving his own basic problems. If we examine Western civilization, we find that people there disagree on everything: the existence of Allah, the role of religion, divorce, marriage, racial discrimination, crime, and punishment.
Constant Ethical Values	Top
Islam gives man a constant system of ethical values. Islam makes it clear to believers that certain acts are good and certain acts are bad and that certain acts are allowed and certain acts are prohibited. Islam gives man a clear reference to refer to in all aspects of life. With this reference, man's chances to make mistakes are minimized.
The Just Ruler	Top
Islam orders the ruler to base his rule on justice and consultation. Islam orders subjects to obey the ruler as long as he obeys Allah. Islam gives the ruler fair rights and fair duties and gives subjects fair rights and fair duties as well.
Basic Needs	Top
In Islam, the ruler must secure the basic needs to everybody under his rule regardless of religion or race. 'I he individual is entitled to the rights of housing, eating, clothing, learning, and medical care.
Equality of All	Top
Socially and ethically, Islam emphasizes the equality of a, persons before law and the equality of all humans in origin since all humans belong to the same father, Adam. Islam emphasizes fraternity and mercy as two major qualities of good believers. Every single verse in the Quran and every single tradition of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, aim at the happiness of the individual. Let us pray that Allah guide us all to His right way. Let us submit to Allah. Let us believe in all His prophets and all His apostles. Let us believe in all Revealed Books and the final Revealed Book, i.e., the Holy Quran.
