The present study is an attempt to investigate the foundations of freedom within different Islamic schools of thought. Shiite sect is introduced, based on reasoning, as an existing sect possessing the underlying thought foundations for the idea of freedom. In addition, freedom, as a natural right, is investigated based on the Islamic system of thought.

In other words, this issue has been treated as a puzzle with a geometry. Values such as freedom, justice, security, wealth, etc. are not regarded as independent and parallel. The difference between the Islamic and Western perspectives with regard to inherent dignity results in differences within the realm of freedom. From a western perspective, resting upon Humanism, one’s freedom is limited by other's freedom. However, from an Islamic perspective based upon reason, the limits of freedom include individual's interests, society's interests and moving beyond the boundaries of reason as well as other's freedom. Moreover, the factors contributing to maintenance of freedom are also investigated.
