What are the concepts of liberty, fraternity, and equality in Islam, and how do they differ from Masonic calls for them? Is it permissible to generalize and advocate for them?
The concepts of liberty, fraternity, and equality in Islam differ fundamentally from those in Freemasonry. Liberty in Islam is liberation from the servitude of anyone other than Allah, whereas in Freemasonry, it is liberation from religion and values. Fraternity in Islam is the brotherhood of Muslims, while in Freemasonry, it is the brotherhood of all humans regardless of their religions. Equality in Islam is among Muslims, whereas in Freemasonry, it is among all people, believers and disbelievers alike. Freemasonry is a Jewish institution whose apparent humanitarianism conceals an inner aim to preserve Judaism, combat religions, and spread atheism and promiscuity. Therefore, it is not permissible to advocate these concepts without distinguishing the differences between them in Islam and elsewhere.
