Freedom of expression is a right that belongs to every individual in expressing their views. In Islam, every Muslim was given the freedom and rights to defend their rights. Most of the Muslim community considers demonstration is one of the methods of free speech. The question is whether the street demonstrations is a way of expression in line with the guidelines of freedom of expression in Islam? Therefore, this study attempts to examine the extent to which freedom of expression is the cause of street demonstrations. In order to achieve a satisfying results these two objectives were set. First, identifying the concept of freedom of expression from the perspective of Islam. Second, to analyze the relationship between street demonstrations with freedom of expression from the perspective of Islam. The literature review is analyzed using content analysis based on the data collected. Finally, these preliminary findings found Islam allows freedom of expression as long as it does not violate the Islamic laws. Initial results also showed that there are several ways to speak up or to express oneself. One way is to do a demonstration. However, the demonstration is the last step of the speech and demonstrations must be done safely.
