چکیده:
Possessing divine spirit and reason, man is intrinsically and originally a creature that has dignity and free will; and these two are God-given favors which are equal rights of all people all over the world regardless of their race and color. Preference on the grounds of nationality, race, color, skin, fortune, wealth and social, family or national status, etc. is forbidden and contrary to the dignity which mankind has in essence. Using a descriptive-analytical method and attempting to examine and analyze the relationship between dignity and freedom both in Islam and liberalism, this essay answers the important question concerning the difference between the view of Islam and liberalism about dignity and its relationship with freedom. The research findings indicate that, emphasizing on intrinsic dignity and complete subject to freedom of man, liberalism suppresses any behavior or act that has limitation or subject to conditions, and considers that these two qualities (i. e. dignity and freedom) are never and in no way detachable from man, even if he commits the most awful crime, and also, his dignity knows no limitations, he has complete freedom of choice and none of his actions can strip him of intrinsic dignity. According to humanism, self-founded wisdom and complete freedom are the foundations of intrinsic dignity. As for the revealed school of Islam, in addition to its exposition of intrinsic dignity, pays attention to man‟s axiological dignity and his value-based freedom; i. e. it is by virtue of his struggle that man reaches this rank of dignity and thus providing the grounds for his growth and sublimity. This kind of dignity rests on solid foundations the most important of which are: the state of being object of angel‟s worship, Divine vicegerency, trustworthiness; God-given knowledge; having control over the existent, the state of being the noblest of all creation; having freedom and authority; piety as well as reason and divine fitra (innate nature).

The Islamic Declaration of Human Rights, in its first article, has reflected this reality as follows: "A) Humans are collectively one family, brought together by the servitude of God and being children of Adam, and all people are equal in the principle of human dignity, duty, and responsibility, without any discrimination in terms of race, color, language, gender, religious belief, political affiliation, social status, etc.
Liberalism can be described as an attitude toward life and its issues that emphasizes values such as the inherent and natural dignity of man, freedom for individuals, and opposition to authoritarianism; whether it be the authoritarianism of the state, the church, or a political party (Salwyn Shapiro, 1386, p.
For this reason, in the formulation of laws and the presentation of guidelines of politics, economy, and culture, what is important and fundamental is the human perspective and their will, and no matter can determine their inherent dignity; unlike divine and monotheistic religions which are God-centered, and based on which a person, through crime and betrayal, loses their inherent dignity and falls into the pit of animality.
