Deen of islam is the proper way of life from God for humanity to live by for fulfilling the purpose for which God created this world and things in it including human beings. Remember always that way of life is first and foremost about livelihood and living properly in this world and not about nonsense called religion or secularism. Religion and secularism have nothing at all to do with living in this world properly. Why not? Because the main pillars of religious islam according to religious mullahs are ritual worship of one God ie through namaaz, roza, zakaat=2.5% charity and hajj= visiting kaaba in makkah during month of hajj. None of these has any good in it for God or humanity. This is a very clear proof that religious islam is just a fraud in the very name of one true God and his message in the form of the quran and his final messenger.
True islam is based upon five pillars such as toheed, salaah, sowm, zakaah and hajj. Toheed is about worship of one true God ie serving God = working for God or working in this world as an agent or worker of God doing works God told mankind to do. This work has to be based upon a proper constitution and its proper laws based upon guidelines of God as told in the quran for the very purpose told in the quran.
So a muslims has to do what God has told him to do in the quran ie he has to establish salaah ie a network of proper human community or an ummah in the name of God. In other words the first work required by God of his servants is establishment of a proper human community. Think about azaan, it is not a call to namaaz but to formation of a proper human community in the name of one true God. If a people become a proper human community under rule of law of one true God then success in this life is bound to follow them.
Once this community comes about then next thing God requires of muslims is, not to do anything that may harm or destroy this community or ummah. This is what sown is about ie withholding oneself from doing anything and everything that may harm or damage or destroy the ummah.
Then God requires of muslims to make sure each and everyone of them works to the best of one's God given abilities for the betterment or improvement of this ummah in order to strengthen it as much as humanly possible as a community.
Then God requires this ummah to undertake a sacred journey called HAJJ ie bring about a kingdom based upon guidance of God. This kingdom is called baitullah the sacred land or house of God for people of God to live in it properly. Finally God required muslims to maintain it as it ought to be maintained. Can one see who are the people who are alul bait? All who try their best to bring about this house of God to live in it by house rules dictated by God and who maintain it as it ought to be maintained.
This is why whenever a messenger of God and his people brought about an exemplary kingdom based upon guidance of God they celebrated their successful accomplishment of the mission assigned to them by God and that was the period of happiness for them. These were the special periods of time about which God talks in the quran that were celebrated by them and this is how they celebrated their success. What was there to celebrate about? Everything because once a kingdom based upon guidance of God was established there was no poverty in that kingdom any more of any kind. These kingdoms based upon guidance of God were free of all kinds of major problems for as long as people remained firmly bound to the way of life God taught them. As soon as they became slack in maintaining those kingdoms they fell apart. Just like the kingdom that was brought about by the final messenger of God.
Read surah faatihah and the end two suras and try to see the connection between the beginning and the ending of the quran. Glory of Allah becomes obvious or manifest for people when his system of sustenance becomes established through people themselves. These are the rewards people reaped who followed way of life advised by God properly. This is how glory of sustenance system of God became manifest for them and others and so they appreciated God for his beautiful guidance.

Ritualism on the other hand can change nothing for the better of humanity but if anything it takes people away from what they are supposed to doing with their God given life and things.
