Islam is the way of life". What do you understand from the statement?

Islam guides from the cradle to the grave. The way of life of Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) is the way of life of Islam. The 24 hours of life of the Prophet (PBUH) is the perfect model for the people to follow till the Dooms Day. His way of speech, his dressing, his dealing with the wives, the children and the people in general, his walking, his sitting, his sleeping, eating, his way in the lavatory while passing urine/stool and everything are model for us. His dealing as the ruler of the Islamic nation, as the judge, as the commander in chief of army, as head of his family etc. are all examples to follow.

As soon as a woman give birth to a baby, azan is recited on the right ear and iqamat is recited in the left ear of the baby. 'Tahneeq (chewed date, small quantity of honey etc.)' is given to the baby and the baby is given good name. After death, it is obligatory for the Muslims to pray salatul janaza for the dead before burial of the dead body. The dead body should be covered in three pieces of clothes as shown by the Prophet (PBUH).

Islam is from Allah, The Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. As such, it is for Him Alone to command and direct His creation and He Alone is responsible for what He will accept and what He will not accept. It is also for Him Alone to decree what is good and what is bad and He must be the One to show the right path in all things.

Everything in the life of the creations of Allah, especially for those who have choices to make (us), must be dictated and clarified by the One who Created everything in the fist place. We understand from this that Islam must be a complete and total way of living, explaining everything in the life from beginning to end and from birth until death.

Islam is careful to remind us that it not a religion to be paid mere lip service; rather it is an all-encompassing way of life that must be practiced continuously for it to be Islam.

There are other injunctions and commandments which concern virtually all facets of one's personal, family and civic life. These include such matters as diet, clothing, personal hygiene, interpersonal relations, business ethics, responsibilities towards parents, spouse and children, marriage, divorce and inheritance, civil and criminal law, fighting in defense of Islam, relations with non-Muslims, and so much more.

In conclusion, ISLAM is a complete way of life for the human being. Everything is covered in Islam from birth to death to live in the complete submission to the Will of the One Who Created man in the first place.

Islam teaches us how to conduct all affairs of our lives. No other religion on earth talks about Economics, Politics, War, Peace, Women's Rights, Rights of Parents, Punishment and Consequence, Reward and the Oneness of God in such detail. We are even taught which way to face while releiving oneself, and how to clean oneself after such has occurred. No religion to this day can equal the depth in which Islam has gone into and affected our lives.

It took the Church until the 19th century to figure out that women had souls and could go to heaven. Islam made it clear that women are persons, have rights, and will be rewarded for their actions 1400 years ago. How is it not complete?

Islam guides people in every aspect of their life; as such there is no difference secular and religious life. Islam guides people in all aspects of life rather then just prayer and worship.
