Every human has the right to choose whats good for himself and his family, but we have to understand and accept that there is some power who is controlling the universe with accuracy and timely calculation, I am a moderate muslim and believe in what I was taught by my parents, I know I have to die, if I am given an option to choose between Hell and Heaven obviously I would go for Heaven, so all I have to do is to restrict my self from bad deeds and unethical behaviour in order to respect the society I am living in.
I understand that what ever life I have to live will consist not more than few decades, but as long as I am away from evil and bad things I can hope to be sent to Heaven, I would request all human beings reading my article to just ignore what negative comments others say about your religion, pay attention to what your heart says and follow what leads to build, respect and maintain a better society.
With best regards,
Azam
