    My Way I am the most important being in my life

    I live for myself

    If you got it flaunt it

    I am free to do whatever I want

    I am free to live any way I want

    I am not accountable to anyone

    Freedom = (imaginary) absence of boundaries

    Recognize Allah Aal Imraan 3: 190. Verily! In the creation of the heavens

    and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, thereare indeed signs for men of understanding.

    191. Those who remember Allh (including in Salah)standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and thinkdeeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth,(saying): "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without

    purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all that theyassociate with You as partners). Give us salvation from thetorment of the Fire.

    Be thankful Ibrahim 14: 7.And (remember) when your Rabb

    proclaimed: "If you give thanks, I will give you more(of My Blessings), but if you are thankless, verily!

    My Punishment is indeed severe.

    Being thankful includes returning to society whatwe have taken from it, to become what we have

    become. To build for a day we may not see becausesomeone built for us, what they did not see.

    Hadith: The one who doesnt thank the people

    has not thanked Allah

    peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-

    Ma'ruf (all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (all that Islam has forbidden), and youbelieve in Allah.

    To live a life that upholds truth and fights falsehood

    and spreads goodness globally all around for allconcerned

    Because freedom has consequences

    Remember your Accountability Sajda 32:11. Say: "The angel of death, who is set

    over you, will take your souls, then you shall be

    brought to your Lord.12.And if you only could seewhen the Mujrimun (criminals, sinners) shall hangtheir heads before their Lord (saying): "Our Lord!We have now seen and heard, so send us back (to

    the world), we will do righteous good deeds. Verily!We now believe with certainty."

    Reality does not change because we wont believe

    ConclusionWe believe that Allah knows best what He

    created and knows what is best for it.

    We accept the Way of Being that Allah chose forus and sent the Anbiya to teach us.

    As a result we look forward to a beautiful way oflife in this world and the reward of Jannah in the

    next.

    Because to choose to please Allah

    is also a choice
