One Christian people has said about Islam:
Islam teaches people to be moderate in their lives, not leaning toward one
extreme or another. Muslims pray and seek guidance from God, but they
also tend to mundane matters of life. They pray during the night, but they
also have time to sleep and get a good night's rest. Muslims spend time in
fasting, but they also eat. There is no monasticism in Islam; balance and
moderation are key.
They help their neighbors and the poor, they work hard to take care of their
families, and they turn to God for guidance and mercy throughout the day.
