The right to freedom in Islamic teachings and international human rights documents is considered one of the fundamental rights of individuals and essential to their social existence. This article presents a comparative analysis of the concept of freedom in international human rights documents and examines its alignment with Islamic discourse to address some of the unwarranted criticisms from Western societies. It seeks to highlight the limitations of human rights documents, which are sometimes used as tools to subjugate humanity. Using an analytical-descriptive and comparative approach, the article explores the broader boundaries of freedom in the Holy Quran and international human rights documents, examining the scope of freedom in each. International human rights documents, most notably the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), which emerged largely after World War II, center on the ideal of human freedom. The main point of contention regarding freedom in the Holy Quran and prominent human rights documents lies in the boundaries of this freedom. In Islam, absolute freedom holds no real place or meaning; it is viewed as a form of servitude. Neither individuals nor governments can remain indifferent to beliefs and ideologies, as a misguided ideology could lead a society into corruption and ruin. Thus, the Quran does not condone disregard for religion. Regarding the relationship between freedom’s elements, some believe in divergence and conflict, while others see convergence. However, significant parallels exist between many provisions of human rights documents and Quranic verses on freedom. For example, freedom is seen as a fundamental right, emphasizing equality before the law and intrinsic human dignity. The Holy Quran contains numerous elements reflected in the Declaration of Human Rights and serves as the foremost religious document affirming the various freedoms granted to humanity, even though its foundations and principles may not fully align with those documents.
