Freedom in Islam Islam observes and respects the fundamental rights of humanity. Also, Ali did not shun the people who had different thoughts than him.
Adults are responsible for their own decisions, particularly in regard of their adopted religion.
They have the freedom to choose the right path, even if this against when the opinion of their parents, is although respect and honor towards parents is one of the Islamic commandments. And when parents demand from their children to follow them in performing a wrong action, the latter, should not do so. And if they contend with thee that thou should associate with Me what thou hast no knowledge of, and consort kindly, with them in the world. Islam does not interfere with the rights of non-Muslims who have their freedom of conscience and belief to follow their religion. The freedom in Islam is restricted to acts that pose no harm for individuals or to their properties and substance, so that the rights of the communities and the society are preserved.
