Religion is meant to realise your Creator, understand ourselves and think about the blessings He has given to us and to the universe to cater us. God will not accept our prayers if we are not good to our parents. It is also to make us good to ourselves and to others. Helping the downtrodden by way of money, food and services are the requirements. If we are good to God, then we will have to be good to people.
There is no place in religion for Terrorism. It is actually indented for peace to ourselves, to all human beings and to the universe. It also ask us to preserve the God given environment.
It teaches to respect elders and to be kind to youngsters. We are even to be good to animals, birds and to all creations. We have to be punctual and manage the time properly for the benefit of all.
We are not supposed to kill ladies, old and kids. When you have to kill for just reasons we have to be just. We have to control our lust by fasting and charity. We are not to be greedy and should not trouble or cheat others, instead we should help each other. We are to preserve the universe and utilise the blessings provided for the betterment of all.
According to a hadees
If we do not promote good deeds and do not object bad deeds then Allah's punishment will come and our duas will not be accepted
If we become cruel we will be below the grade of animals and God will put calamities to punish us and eventually world will be destroyed if cruelties exceed a limit.
So religion is meant for the overall good of this world.
