We are endowed with reason and freedom of choice between right and wrong, thus we are raised to the status of a moral being as distinct from animals that can only follow their instincts.

 

[Ori]

And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in all the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual

 

[Peace]

That’s why we must be thankful to our Creator who gives us a free will to choose and endows man’s life with a moral meaning and a unique spiritual potential. Such is one aspect of dignity and honor that God bestowed on mankind:

“Indeed, we have conferred dignity on human beings, and borne them over land and sea, and provided for them sustenance out of the good things of life, and favoured them far above the most of Our creation” (Quran 17:70)

 

[Peace]

Our end will be a natural consequence of our free choice and deeds.
