This show that allah had islam as a comprehensive religion as it for all his creatures.

This comprehensive nature of Islam should be matched by a comprehensive understanding of this important character of Islam and also by a comprehensive commitment to all its commandments and rules where no part of it is to be ignored or neglected.Our understanding of Islam should be comprehensive. Our commitment to Islam should also be comprehensive.
It is contrary to Islam only to accept one part of Islam and ignore the rest. It is not right to take one part of Islam and treat it as the whole of Islam. It is not right to take Creed and faith and neglect or ignore worship and morality.
It is not right to take worship and turn our backs to morality and good manners. Morality and good manners are the fruit of proper worship and are part of good faith. At the same time it is not right to focus on morality and indulge in innovations, and neglect proper worship and sound faith. And it also not right to take faith, morality and worship and then reject the Islamic Shari ‘a or to believe that Islam and its rules and principles are to be kept within the walls of mosques. Islam is not a seasonal religion. It is not only for Fridays and Ramadan. Islam is Comprehensive
