This is very important as there are many ways to make one happy and to live happily in this world but to find peace and happiness in the next, there is only one Way(deen) i.e God's way. Islam is to submit your will to God Almighty and not follow any other way. This means not submitting to yourself, your own selfish desires as you feel like it, not submitting to any other than your Lord that created you. In short, you do what God wants you to do not what you want to do. This is a test of patience and obedience, and numerous examples are given in all the religious scriptures of having this kind of devotion, such as prophet Ibrahim(Abraham) when he was told to sacrifice his son. Job when he was inflicted with disease and suffering.
But all religions preach good, why not follow any?
The simple answer is that although they fundamentally preach Monotheism (the central theme of submitting to God and attaining success without which all deeds are annulled) they then go on to teach Polytheism the greatest of evils and other things which are not from God. this is because all relgions were from scriptures and prophets sent by Allah but people changed them. The Quran is the only one and the final revelation from our creator that He has promised will be preserved until the sun rises from the west. So why use an older version which is outdated when a new more accurate and updated version is available from the same authentic source that gave it to you in the first place. In other words why use Microsoft Windows 95 when we have Windows Vista?
