This study deals with the question of political opposition in the Islamic political thought in an attempt to correct the western mistaken view of the Islamic political thought. This Western view is based on the assumption that this thought has suppressed the right of opposition and the freedom of opinion… that it is a rigid thought.

This study illustrates that the Islamic political thought has recognized, in its basic principles, the respect for the other opinion and the preservation of the rights and freedom of the human being.

Without being restrained by the school of thought or the religious belief. This study has concludes that Islam has known and recognized human freedom and believed in the necessity of respecting human rights among which is the right of belief, has opinion and political pluralism.

Accordingly, this thought meets the principles of the modern Western democracy.
