The article provides information and definitions about the religion and its history so that the essence and importance of the Islamic religion can be seen more clearly. Since ancient times, the human race has lived in search of its God, that is, it accepted religion as a bridge to reach the truth. Since primitive times, religions have been seen as simple, and religions have also changed with human development. Today, there are more than 10,000 religions, sects, and confessions worldwide, but still, the human race continues to search for the truth. It talks about love and affection, which is the basis of the essence of Islam. After all, belief and religious practice promote psychological well-being by comforting people in times of adversity and increasing their social connections with others in places of worship. Many studies show that people of all ages, not just the elderly, are happier and more satisfied with their lives if they are religious.  Religiousness also appears to improve physical health, and some studies even show that religious people live longer than non-religious people.
