Highlights:
In this short but important treatise, Shaykh ‘Abdus-Salâm al-Basyoni weighs in on the ongoing global discourse about freedom of expression. He reviews the history of freedom of opinion in the West and compares that with how Islam approaches the issue. He examines the arguments in favour of unrestricted freedom of expression in light of some actual consequences. Shaykh al-Basyoni demonstrates that the freedom to express one’s opinion is a fundamental right that is respected and protected by Islamic law. He argues that this right is embedded in the laws and principles of Islam, and shows how crucial limitations placed upon freedom of opinion work to protect the rights of individuals, their privacy, their property and their honour, as well as to preserve the sanctity of human life and the security of human societies. The English translation of this book
was written by Ahmad Rami ash-Shahid.

mhakimhanafi –
Narrated on the authority of Tamim ad-Dari, the Prophet SAW said, “The Religion is sincerity.” We said, “To whom?” He said “To Allah, to His Book, To His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their masses.” ~ Sahih Muslim 55 ~
Islam gives the opportunity to express one’s views and thoughts freely as long as it is in the propagation of truth and does not violate the teachings of Islam. Sincere advice to enjoin good and forbid evil is a responsibility for every Muslim to perform as much as they are able to. However, there are certain etiquettes one should observe in giving advice that are expressed in the book.
The author seeks to dispel the common misconception that Islam restricts freedom of expression and how “freedom of speech” is used by the West to enforce certain ideologies that portray Islam as a religion that does not fit society today and how embracing their standards and culture is seen as “progressive”.
