We will...

We will, however, enumerate here ten of them since they cover in some way most of the other kinds. 1-Freedom of Trade: Any person can trade with any commodity he wishes, except unlawful commodities such as alcoholic beverages and pork, whenever he wishes. He can export goods to anywhere he wants and similarly import them without paying any customs dues and without any border restrictions.

2-Freedom of Agriculture: This law permits any person to cultivate as much as he wants and over as much land as he wishes, with complete freedom and without any taxes or limitations for the hadith says, “The Earth belongs to God and to whoever utilizes it”. 3-Freedom of Industry: A person can import or export, establish a factory or import and export factories of any kind and can manufacture things without any taxes, conditions or limitations.

4-The Freedom to Possess Common Resources: Land, water and air all belong to God, and man is permitted to extract from them the resources they contain, be they fish from the sea, mineral deposits, treasures in the earth, woods of the forests, atoms in space and any other resources that have been placed in the universe.

5-Freedom of Development: Anyone can develop the land by building on it, constructing canals, digging wells, or any other beneficial enterprise on the basis of the principle mentioned above, “The Earth belongs to God and to whoever utilizes it”. 6-Freedom of Travel: A person is free to travel to any place that he wishes without a visa, or the need to obtain permission, or the payment of any tax, and no one has the right to prevent him from travelling to such a place.

Similarly, man is free to travel for as long as he likes, with no limitation on the period of travel for Islam does not believe in frontiers since the Earth belongs to God and man can travel in it how he wishes. More than that, Islam has established a special account for travellers who cannot journey further because they have run out of money, and so forth, and this is to encourage people to travel.

7-Freedom of Residence: Man is free to reside wherever he wishes without any conditions or limitations since passports, identity cards and the concept of nationality are entirely irrelevant in Islam and all people have a right to unrestricted freedom of movement.
