The Holy Quran emphasizes that humans have freedom of action, but with responsibility. It also acknowledges the diversity of opinions, as stated in the Almighty's words: "And if your Lord had willed, He would have made mankind one nation; but they will not cease to differ." The Muslim community, both men and women, enjoys the freedom of enjoining good and forbidding evil in every human activity. Nevertheless, Islam is a religion of moderation, and its freedom is restricted by what conforms to the Sharia.
