The Goals of Freedom of Faith in Islam

Abstract

The issue of religious freedom is one of the most discussed topics in modern times, as it is closely related to various political, legal, cultural and religious aspects. This study is a serious attempt to explore the objectives of freedom of belief in Islam, considering it as the mother of all freedoms and the gateway to various forms of freedom. Revealing these objectives shows the value and status of freedom in general within the religion of Islam, especially at a time when civilisations are emphasising the importance of freedom to the extent that it has become a symbol and criterion for the progress of nations. The research problem revolves around the objectives of Islam in legislating freedom of belief and whether Islam has specific objectives in legislating this type of freedom.
