Islam applies to the body as well as to the soul

More than anything else in Islam is the distinguishing feature of unity. Even in Unitarian Churches, thought there is a desire for absolute unionism, the services are nearly all different, and its members differ greatly though they have the same principle at heart.
The only hold any Church could have, the right to hold over its members wold be that moral right regarding their actions, and since there is only one morality there should be only one Church; instead, however, their laws are built on dogma and creed instead of morality, However beautiful may be the ideas, they become merely mechanical and artificial when forced.
Islam takes into consideration every point and phase of life. It applies to the body as well as to the soul, on account of its hygiene.
Its simplicity acts as a calm upon the mind, and tends to produce peace and comfort, rather than distraction by ritual, music, and religious pictures and performances. Islam is a religion open all day and every day of the week, and not only on Sundays, merely to be forgotten till the next Sunday comes around.
