"Liberty" and the Quran

  • Liberty is a concept of political philosophy and identifies the condition in which an individual has the right to act according to his or her own will. [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty]
The Quran says: "The truth has come from your Lord, whosoever chooses may accept it and whosoever chooses may reject it" [The Quran, Chapter 18, verse 29].
It further says: "There is absolutely no compulsion in Ad-deen (i.e. in choosing one's way of life)" [ The Quran, Chapter 2, verse 256].
