Freedom of thought, expression and speech are considered the most imperative values and
liberties in the Islamic context since its arrival. Moreover, in Islam, it is not only a basic right
but in some cases, it becomes a necessary duty for a Muslim believer. According to Islamic law,
the freedom of expression and speech is constituted as a fundamental right and duty for every
believer. Therefore, Muslim scholars must establish and maintain for all Muslim men and
women, rulers, and public, common and special, to search out the truth and convey the message
of God. But it is also noticed, where Islam declares it as a fundamental right and civil liberty, it
also binds it with some limits and boundaries for the sake of public welfare and human dignity.
Besides, Islam is the balanced religion therefore justice and balance of power must be prevailed
in every field of life, including liberties and rights. In this context, many Muslim scholars wrote
and spoken about this significant issue. Muhammad HāshimKamālīis one of the most
distinguishedscholars who give much importance to human liberties and civil rights, including
freedom of expression, speech, and thought. He has a good number of academic writings and
recommends some legal, social, and moral limits on freedom of expression. This paper is an
effort to examine ProfessorKamālī‟sviews and approaches on the Freedom of speech in modern
sociopolitical context. The analytical research methodology has been adopted with a qualitative
approach in this study.
