Lesson one hundred five :Respect to freedom of thought
Islam's Prophet( S. A. )said:
بِئْسَ الْقَوْمُ قَوْمٌ يَمْشِى الْمُؤْمِنُ فيهِمْ بِالتَّقِيَّةِ وَ الْكِتْمانِ
Translation
Those among which a believer has to practice dissimulation are bad people!.
Brief description
Dissimulation and concealing ideas usually arises when a selfish majority of the society prevent the righteous minority to express their thoughts and divulge their ideas. Surely, such society will not be prosperous. In an Islamic and humanitarian society, the righteous people should have the right of divulging their ideas for public opinions, and common people should not hinder them, and rather respect freedom of thought in the reforming aspects and provide facilities for training and making fruitful these thoughts.
