    My Question is
    Is Islam about indviualism or Collectivism?
    I am asking this question because liberalism is about indiviualism where one can define moral values, objectives based on pain and and pleasure. that is minimize the pain and maximize pleasure.
    Kindly explain your response.

    If I have understood you correctly, then what you’re referring to is ‘Utilitarian Approach’ in deciding good and evil based on apparent utility a particular action entails at an individual level. You may find the following critique by Ghamidi Sahab highly insightful in this regard.
