There is the golden rule in life, ‘treat your neighbour as you would want them to treat you’ – that is one of religion’s teachings and only religion (not any otherconstitution) holds people accountable to that. The biggest reason that society needs religion is to regulate behaviour.
Religion is what makes many people take an extra step to being better people. Better people for themselves and for others around them.
‘Life is a rollercoaster’ many say. That means that life is full of ups and downs, a lot of uncertainties and suffering and sometimes, this goes on for a long time. It’s usually only religion that can comfort such a person with the hope that they aren’t forgotten by God and that as long as they keep and follow his commandments, they have a special place in heaven forever.
I would really like to visit more often the sick in hospitals (who aren’t necessarily my relatives or close friends). I realised that the last three times, I went to visit these people, pray with them and carry some basic needs for them, I was with the youth at my church. For Muslims, giving alms to the poor is also key because it gives the message that “service to humanity is service to God.”
