Asalaam and hello!
So Why is Islam so successful?
Here are some of the answers on why Islam is so successful in our world.
1) Islam according to me and muslims is the one true faith which has many blessings and guidance in it and answers all questions in depth and has belief in one God (Allah) and believes in the last messenger ( Muhammad) as the foundation.
2) Islam is linked to many simalarities to other faiths, such as christians believe in Jesus. Muslim also believe in Jesus and love and respect him but only as a prophet. No other faith talks about Jesus but Islam does and mentions his name respectfully in the Holy Quran many times.
3) Islam means submission and muslim means submitter and when a muslim practices in a honest and loving way, they see the true light of Islam and gain a excellence in character which spreads to friends family and relatives and the light of truthness spreads from there too.
4) Islam is the only faith with believers who pray many times. Muslims are ordered to pray 5 times a day and are encouraged to make a dua(prayer) and seek forgiveness. This a true muslim must do in order to attain a good character and blessings so those muslim and non-muslim who dont pray see some light in people who do pray a lot.
5) Islam is so successful because its the fastest growing religion today (source: Guiness book of records) and when terrorism is throw with it, it makes people think and when they ponder after doing their own research they too become loving muslims. So when the devil/media try to trick some people , at the same time there are smart people who seek answers and walk away as seeing Islam as a loving , honest and peaceful faith. After all, Islam is not seen just as a religion but as a way of life and is sent for mankind as a beautiful guidance.
