ہجر زدوں کا در دیکھا ہے

ہجر زدوں کا در دیکھا ہے
ہم نے جی کر مر دیکھا ہے

وقت برا تو آیا نہیں ہے
اچھا وقت مگر دیکھا ہے

دیکھ سکے نہ دل کہ جگر ہے
میں نے وہ خنجر دیکھا ہے

ایک خدا اور ایک محبت
من کو کب کافر دیکھا ہے

تب سے پیاس بڑھی ہے جب سے
آنکھوں کا ساغر دیکھا ہے

بھوک کے نام پہ ڈستے رشتے
زیست کو یوں کیوں کر دیکھا ہے

اُس کو فضاؔ کیا اس دنیا سے
جس نے عشق کا در دیکھا ہے

Islamic Perception of Freedom of Expression: An Exploration of Islamic Thought

Islam considers freedom of expression, speech and thought as an imperative human right and liberty. Primary Islamic sources, as the Holy Quran, Hadith and Seerah of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Islamic jurisprudence discuss its principles parameters and boundaries comprehensively. There are many verses of the Quran, ?h?d?th of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and many terms of Islamic Fiqh, which guide us to describe the freedom of expression, its meanings, significance, principles and limits. Islamic scholars of different fields define the freedom of expression in different ways. It’s also observed during exploration in Islamic and Western perspectives, there is no specific and agreed upon definition of freedom of expression. Some scholars try to define it according to their own interest and requirement, but they can’t make an agreement on its definition. So, there is found a variety of definitions of freedom of expression in academic discourse. Different Islamic scholars mention different definitions due to its being a modern term. In this study efforts are made to elaborate Islamic concept of freedom of expression, thought and speech in modern context. It’s concluded, the Islamic teachings give all kind of freedom and rights to human being but their limits and boundaries are different from Western thought.
