Islam is the Religion of Freedom in the Quran

 Freedom in Islam by Quran by prophet 

There are resources in the Qur'anic words and hadiths of the Prophet to support the democratic system. If Muslims want to embrace modernity, including life in a pluralistic democratic society, without abandoning their faith, they must embrace the argument for religious freedom in their history and in the heart of their most sacred texts.

Although the broad emphasis on the Qur'an and hadith supports religious freedom, many parts of these texts can be interpreted in the traditional way. An example of this is the Qur'anic verse (9:29) which deals with the issue of Jizyah, which is a tax on non-Muslims:

Human freedom and dignity

The basis of the Islamic goal of religious freedom is man's view of the Qur'an. The humanities of the Qur'an, which are common to Christianity and Judaism, see every human being as a creation of God, due to reason and free will. God created human beings "in perfect molds" (95: 4), thus honoring humanity and bestowing special blessings on it (17:70). The Qur'an confirms that man has innate dignity. Furthermore, it states that God gave man the reason and ability to distinguish between right and wrong (17:15; 6:104).

The Qur'an emphasizes freedom of choice. "The truth [now] has come from your patient one: he must believe, and whoever wills, let him reject it." And also: "Whoever chooses to walk on the straight path, he will follow it for his own benefit, and whoever goes astray, he will go astray on his wound" (17:15). In a passionate voice, the Qur'an declares that "there is no compulsion in faith" (2: 256). Faith is an individual choice - or rather a choice that includes the individual and God. Therefore, it is not easy to accept religion by force, and anyone who uses force instead of persuasion to promote religion should ignore the central person's point of view in the Qur'an.

Coercion

The end of the Qur'anic issue for religious freedom is the fact that even the Prophet Muhammad could not force people to convert to Islam. When people did not accept the message of Islam, the Qur'an clearly reminded them that it did not oppose oppression: "Your job is only to preach, you cannot force them to [believe]." "(88:21). Evidence from Islamic history shows that this view was held not only by Muhammad, but also by his political successors. In a recorded example, an elderly Christian woman came to see Caliph Omar and then rejected his invitation to convert to Islam. He was worried that he might have considered his invitation a compulsion. He said: My Lord, expressing my sorrow, I said: I did not intend to compel him, for I know that there is no compulsion in religion ... and the weight of error is stated. ۔ "


Unfortunately, many Muslim-majority countries failed to follow the Prophet's example. Muslims in these countries face the crimes of unbelief, heresy, and, most famously, apostasy. Non-Muslims are prohibited from removing and possessing or importing unauthorized religious material, including the Bible. They face restrictions on the public practice of the religion and strict restrictions on the construction or renovation of places of worship. The government monitors their religious activities, raids private services, and sometimes harasses or imprisons non-Muslim believers simply for practicing their faith.
