Islam, in its literal sense, is utter peace. It is as if the meaning of peace and security is within the word Islam. Therefore, in terms of its meaning, Islam is a religion that is peaceful in itself and teaches others peace and security, love and tolerance, moderation and balance and patience and
forbearance.

In simple words,
The acceptable path in Allah’s sight is Islam, the path of surrendering: devotion of all good actions to Allah alone, submission to Him in servitude and acceptance of all messengers, including the final messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) with whom revelations came to an end, and after whom no sacred laws will remain valid except his. The Jews and Christians only split up into various groups and sects, after evidence was established against them in the form of knowledge that had come to them, because of envy and greed for the world.

A man asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Which Islam is better? It is said by Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH):
In the Hadees:
Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Al-Musnad, 2: 187, No. 6753

The meaning of this verse is that your enmity and enmity towards any nation should not persuade you to abandon justice, but you have to do justice in all circumstances.

↓ Verse no 8
Say, O Messenger, to the people: Come! I will read to you what Allah has made unlawful. He has made it unlawful that you associate any creation as partner to Him; that you disobey your parents – for it is your duty to be good to them; that you kill your children due to poverty – as the people during the period of ignorance used to do – I provide for you and for them. He has also made it unlawful that you go near immoral acts, whether they are done openly or in secret; and that you kill the soul that Allah has prohibited you from killing, unless it is done rightfully (such as in the case of adultery and apostasy).
