What is the Island?
I believe it is a connection point between the physical world and a spiritual place called the Well of Souls or perhaps The River of Souls.
When people die there souls come to this place until they are eventually reborn into a new life.
Babies on the Island don't survive because they can't get a soul there. Babies of course are born pure, good and innocent so the evil that accumulates in ones souls remains trapped in the Well of Souls when one is reborn.
When Jacob threw his brother into the well the trapped evil saw a path to escape and took it. If the Locke Monster succeeds in destroying the Island, the connection to the Well of Souls will be broken and no children born on Earth will survive because they won't have a soul.
The key must be John Locke. The smoke monster took his body because he was dead, but he's not really dead. Sideways Locke has to somehow take back his Island body and thereby force out or destroy the smoke monster which must involves Desmond who seems to have the ability to straddle worlds and time.
If the Island survives I expect only Rose and Bernard will remain there together in love for all time. Final scene: Rose and Bernard on the beach watching a sunset and Bernard says "well that was beautiful. Where did you put the leaves I have to go take a you know what."

The Well of Souls (Arabic: Bir el- Arweh) is a natural cave located immediately beneath the Foundation Stone under the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In addition to a small well shaped hole in the stone that looks into the cave, there is also an entrance on the southern side, via a set of steps passing through a gap between the stone and the surrounding bedrock.[1] The cave takes the form of a moderately sized room[2] (similar in floor space to the stone), the ceiling curving to the ground gently, and the floor having been flattened and carpeted. The southern end of the cave, through which the steps enter it, has man-made walls[3] to provide structural support to the cave roof above the steps.
Rabbi David ben Solomon ibn Abi Zimra attested to the existence of a cave, found under the Dome of the Rock,[4] known as the Well of Souls.
Since Islamic tradition holds that Muhammad ascended heavenwards from the stone, a related tradition[who?] has grown up that states that the Last Judgment will happen at the Sakhrah, and that the souls of the dead gather in the well of souls to wait for that event, and to pray.[citation needed]
According to pre-Islamic folklore,[who?] the well of souls was a place where the voices of the dead could be heard along with the sounds of the Rivers of Paradise;[citation needed] the cave is now known to have no exit apart from those leading to the surface of the Sakhrah, and the sounds have been argued[who?] to be a resonance effect similar to hearing the sea from seashells. The well of souls is sometimes conflated[who?] with the guf,[citation needed] a location in Jewish mythology, where the souls of the not-yet-born are stored, though the guf is usually considered to be a more heavenly location than an earth-bound one.
The Well of Souls is sometimes considered[who?] the hiding place of the Ark of the Covenant in legends stating that the Ark was hidden beneath the Temple Mount,[citation needed] but removed when Solomon's temple was destroyed by the neo-Babylonians. In this context it appeared in Raiders of the Lost Ark, although relocated to Tanis, Egypt.
