It depends entirely on perspective.

Islam is not a monolith and has many different sects (Sunni, Shiite, Ibadi, Khariji, Ahmadi, etc.) that within them have many different schools (Maliki, Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi'i, Ja'afari, etc.) and different bases of interpretation (some use XYZ hadith, some use YZ hadith, some use TX hadith, etc.). Furthermore, there is a question of conservatism and liberalism. How conservative should a person be in interpreting the law? Where is a person living? What kind of congregation are we dealing with? What is the speaker's ideal of Islam?

As a result, the "best" description of Islam depends on taste. Probably, the best voice to describe American Islam is Hamza Yusuf, to describe Western European Islam is Tariq Ramadan, to describe Egyptian Islam is Yusuf al-Qaradawi, etc.

Additionally, any religion can be well borne-out by the primary sources, so reading the Qur'an, the Hadith, and the Biography of the Prophet can further elucidate the religion of Islam.

Is Islam the best?

Questions that ask what religion is best are asking for opinions. Some will say Islam is the best, others Christianity and still others another religion. Some will even say there is no "best religion because all religion is bad." In a world full of problems, it is not really a question of what religion is "the best." It is a question of people accepting other's views and attempting to live together in harmony. To me, whichever religion promotes that and practices it, if any, is the "best."
