Islam is to only submit to Allah (God) and to strive energetically in His way and for what ever blessings and fleeting contentment we are given in this lower life (dunya) we are thankful, while wishing for felicity in the life beyond - which is the Greater Life with gardens of Paradise, rivers flowing beneath.
And there is no ability and no power over anything, save by Allah (La hawla wala quwwata illa billah).
The Islamic tradition is about the divine, eternal message, existing from the beginning of time, revealed by Allah to His prophets, including the encompassing, last prophet, Muhammad (the blessings and peace of Allah upon him).
The understanding and practice of Islam has to be based on the authentic Islamic tradition , which is to know that everything was/ is created by Allah (may His Majesty be exalted!), and that nothing exists or will come into existence without His will and power. It is not aways the same as people's customs and habits.
{ فَٱسْتَمْسِكْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍٍ }
{Hold fast to what has been revealed to you- you truly are on the right path.}
43-43
Quran: Their reckoning has drawn near to men, in heedlessness are they turning aside.
21-1
{ اِقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ مُعْرِضُونَ }
Sh Mahmoud Khalil Al-Hussary, Sura The Prophets 21-1
Islam, which is submission to the will of God - Allah, is also a worldview, a best practice, the answer sought for – from the super-human or divine level: for normal humanity.
{ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً }
{And if Allah had willed, He could have made you (of) one religion, but He causes to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.}
16-93
Islam is universal, because it is applicable for all men and women in all times and places and its scripture wields global appeal, having existed at the centre of life for thriving communities across the enormously-diverse Islamic world for many centuries.
AHM, HOME61
It is not a made-up system of human thought, although human thought (intellect عقل) is necessary, and every generation has to rediscover the true prophetic message and to discard what is false: the misrepresentations, lies, and innovations, and the greatest bidʿa/ innovation that is tanfīr, repulsing people with harshness and extremism.
Islam is the proven way to Allah (may His Majesty be exalted) in piety and reverential fear or awareness ( تقوى taqwā).
