Quotes About Freedom

“Sometimes slavery puts on the guise of freedom and appears to be a release from all chains, the chains of culture and tradition and the burdens of the human condition.

There is a fundamental difference between release from the chains of humiliation, oppression and weakness, and from the chains of humanity and its substrates. The first one is true freedom, while the second one is to abandon the foundations that make a human being a human being, foundations that have freed him from the chains of his animal nature.

Sayyid Qutb

“Humans can increase their degree of freedom through knowledge. Abu Hamid al-Ghazali says: "Man has choice in what he knows and is choice-less and externally controlled in what he doesn't know", which means that whenever his knowledge expands, his freedom increases.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“Why does God let the tyrant perform his tyranny, the murderer to murder and the robber to rob? It is because God wants us to be free, and freedom requires the possibility of doing wrong. There is no meaning in freedom if we do not have the right to experiment, err, and do what is right, and to choose between sinning and being virtuous.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“The biggest problem any one of us could fall into is to be controlled by...anything.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“Man has free will in the things he has knowledge about, but is pushed forward by other forces in the things he has no knowledge about. In other words, his freedom increases whenever his knowledge increases.

Muhammad al-Ghazali

“You don’t know what is freedom, if you don’t know what discipline is.
