Why do we need a religion like Islam when reality suggests otherwise?

Islam, as a religion, often appears not to provide concrete solutions to real-world problems. Instead, it tends to offer alternative explanations or attributes everything to Allah without an apparent practical basis. Here are a few examples: **Example #1**: Islam advises that when faced with difficulties, one should pray to Allah, remain patient, be resilient, and continue putting in effort—promising that Allah will ultimately grant success. However, it seems that having patience, staying strong, and continuing efforts alone will lead to success, regardless of invoking Allah. This raises the question: why involve a theological concept when tangible action already holds the potential to resolve the issue? **Example #2**: Currently, Israel is mercilessly slaughtering Palestinians in large numbers. Islam doesn’t seem to provide an adequate explanation for why this is happening or why Palestinians are being persecuted without any apparent wrongdoing. The practical cause is Zionism, which drives this aggression. Islam, as a religion, appears powerless to counter Zionism, especially since Zionists wield significant control over money and power. **Example #3**: Islam advocates for the implementation of Sharia to uphold the rule of law. However, in a world dominated by Western hegemony, implementing Sharia is practically impossible unless the entire global order changes, which seems highly unlikely. Furthermore, nations that have well-established rules of law are often not Muslim-majority countries. **Example #4**: Islam does not promote the concept of nationalism or states. Yet, under current global realities shaped by Western influence and institutions like the United Nations, one cannot simply disregard the concepts of nationalism and the state. Given these examples, the question arises: why do we need a religion like Islam when reality suggests otherwise?
