<DIV>In recent years the subject of freedom of expression has become a topic of heated debate. <i>Freedom of Expression in Islam</i> offers the first and only detailed presentation in English of freedom of expression from both the legal and moral perspectives of Islam. This work is a pioneering attempt in examining both the evidence on freedom of expression in the sources of the <i>Shari'ah</i> and the limitations, whether moral, legal or theological, that Islam imposes on the valid exercise of this freedom. <i>Freedom of Expression in Islam </i>is informative not only on the subject of the possibilities of freedom of expression within Islam, but also on the cultural tradition of Islam and its guidelines on social behaviour. <i>Freedom of Expression in Islam</i> is part of a series dedicated to the fundamental rights and liberties in Islam and should be read in conjunction with <i>The Dignity of Man: An Islamic Perspective</i> and <i>Freedom, Equality and Justice in Islam</i>.<br></div>
