The issue of religious freedom is considered one of the most prominent topics present in the contemporary intellectual arena, as many studies came to control its concept, highlight its features and levels, and reveal its aims and limits in Islamic law ... The nature of dealing with its issues differed according to the variety of occasions during which the subject of religious freedom was addressed. . This study is an attempt to reveal the foundations and principles upon which freedom of belief in Islam is based, and from which it derived its legitimacy, and it is in the light of which the value of this type of freedom is understood, and its dimensions are perceived in light, as well as the great hospitality that it has received in Islamic legislation. The study's problem revolves around what are the foundations upon which freedom of belief in Islam was based.

In order to answer this problem, I followed in my study this analytical method by controlling the concept of freedom of belief, and clarifying its frame of reference, which reveals its dimensions and its sublime value in the Qur’an and Sunnah.This study concluded that it is not possible to understand the value of freedom of belief in Islam, and to realize its dimensions, except by standing on the foundations on which it is based, and which reinforces the honorary view of the human being.
