Islam is a Religion for all Human Everywhere and Every time

1-      Islam not Muslims
We need to follow the religion as God and his prophet transmitted it to us. But we do not need to follow people.

2-      Religion not knowledge:
Islam is a religion not knowledge. God will judge you based on your deed not your knowledge. The main goal of knowledge in Islam is to be applied and practiced not to be used to show off (up), find a job, or make you better than others. That why Prophet Muhammad said: “A servant of God will remain standing on the Day of Judgment until he is questioned about his (time on earth) and how he used it; about his knowledge and how he utilized it; about his wealth and from where he acquired it, and in what (activities) he spent it; and about his body and how he used it." {Reported by Imam At-Tirmithi}
God said: “The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey that carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of God. And God does not guide the wrongdoing people.”
Also, He said: “Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you”, not the most knowledgeable.

3-      Human not Angels:
Angels do not need a religion. God sent all religions, messengers, and holy books to the humans, because they are sinners since they have the free choice, so do not think that you cannot be Muslim because you are a sinner.

4-      Everywhere not middle east only
We need to distinguish between what is Islam and what is the Arabic Culture. For example the prophet Muhammad wore the Kofi as a cultural cloth not an Islamic code or dress. We can be Muslims and Americans. You do not need to be an Arab to be a Muslim.

5-      Every time not ancient time only
The prophet used a stone to clean after defecating, and the miswak to clean his teeth. But if he lives in our time now he would use toilet paper and a teeth brush. We can be Muslims in our modern life.
