Islam is the true religion of the world and has the second-largest followers. It is the religion of the world, starting from the beginning and being followed till the end. Due to their eternal nature and comprehensive guidelines, their basic beliefs remain constant and are not changed at any cost.
It is one of the key reasons that attracts non-Muslims to follow and obey the rules and regulations.
