Freedom Should Be Interpreted through Monotheism
In Islamic view, freedom is a mediocre value that in order to become a sublime value should be interpreted through Tawhid (monotheism), a university scholar said.
Speaking to IQNA, Mostafa Noruzi, who is a political advisor to the Office of the Supreme Leader in Universities, added that unless freedom is defined based on Tawhid, it will contradict other values.
He said if the most profound values are defined in a material realm, they will turn to their antithesis and can not be manifested in their ideal form.
Dr Noruzi pointed to the status of freedom in Islam, saying that freedom needs to interpreted in accordance to monotheistic values.
“Basically, religions, especially Islam, and the movements of God’s messengers have come to liberate humanity from chains,” he underlined.
The scholar added that modern humans have been freed from some of the chains but not from all of them and that is why they have fallen prey to deviated ideas such as Satanism, false mysticisms, etc.
He went on to say that Divine religions have always been the primary defenders of freedom.
