Bismillah:
Quote:But that doesn't makes sense (to me at least) because on one hand you say we have freedom but then you mention this is within a framework i.e. creating a restriction. What is this "reasonable framework" you talk about?
As far as my understanding of the term is that freedom has no restrictions/barriers otherwise it would not be freedom.
I cannot slander anyone because Allah SWT has made it a crime, so no freedom of speech.
I cannot assault anyone because Allah SWT has made it a crime, so no freedom of action.
I agree we as human beings are free to choose our actions because Allah SWT has given us a choice and has shown us the 2 paths (right and wrong). Either we obey or we don't for which we will be held accountable but that is from a human being aspect.
first of all, could you please let me know what makes you a Muslim? is it your own choice or just because Allah wants you to be a Muslim?
Salam
Wael.
