When we hosted the Islamabad launch for Mustafa Akyol’s “Why, As a Muslim, I Defend Liberty”, we wanted it to spark real conversation & it did.

Shortly after the event, scholar Khursheed Ahmed Nadeem wrote a review in Dunya News asking a fair question: Are we adopting a “liberal paradigm” over faith? Does liberty go too far?

Mustafa Akyol reply hit at the core of why this dialogue matters. Defending liberty isn’t about importing a foreign mindset or replacing Islamic morality. It’s about recognizing a basic truth: faith loses its moral value the moment it’s enforced by state power. Liberty doesn’t replace faith—it gives faith the space to be sincere.

This kind of healthy, respectful back-and-forth in mainstream media is exactly what our intellectual spaces need more of.

Can Islam and personal liberty coexist?

In his latest piece, Khursheed Ahmed Nadeem explores the idea of “Muslim liberalism” and its departure from conventional modernism, drawing on the work of thinkers such as Mustafa Akyol. At its heart is a question that continues to shape conversations on Islam, freedom, and the individual: how can faith and personal liberty inform one another?

Event Recap | Book Launch

An evening of ideas, dialogue, and thoughtful debate.

The Islam and Liberty Network (ILN) proudly hosted the launch of the Urdu translation of Mustafa Akyol's Why, as a Muslim, I Defend Liberty (کیوں، بطور مسلمان، میں آزادی کا دفاع کرتا ہوں) at the Prime Institute, Islamabad, in a hybrid event attended by scholars, academics, students, and policy professionals.

The discussion explored the relationship between Islam and liberty, examining themes of freedom of conscience, human dignity, free expression, the rule of law, and the rich intellectual heritage of the Muslim world. Author Mustafa Akyol, translator Fida Ur Rehman, Chief Guest Khurshid Ahmad Nadeem, and moderator Dr. Ali Salman engaged with important questions from the audience, fostering a meaningful exchange of ideas on faith, reform, and the future of Muslim societies.

We thank all our distinguished speakers, guests, and participants—both in person and online—for making this event a success. Together, we continue to create spaces for informed dialogue and intellectual engagement.

Stay connected with ILN for more conversations that challenge assumptions, inspire critical thinking, and advance the values of liberty and human dignity.

Ideas shape institutions—and institutions shape societies.

This edition of Edraak News explores how the Muslim world continues to interpret tradition in profoundly different ways. From the OIC's challenge to Taliban restrictions on women, to Syria's constitutional transition, Uzbekistan's institutionalization of Islamic finance, and the legacy of Professor John L. Esposito, this fortnight's developments reveal that the future of Muslim societies is being shaped not only by political events, but by competing interpretations of faith, law, governance, and human dignity.

Swipe through our latest carousel to explore the key developments across four zones of the Muslim world and discover how ideas continue to influence institutions, policy, and reform.
