The problem with ideology of liberalism and Islam remains its priority to the facet of the resolution of the Shari’a. Liberalism also seeks to loosen the rule of law and the rule of Islam rather than its adherents. This article reviews the literature on the concepts, acceptance and rejection of liberalism through the view of Muslim scholars. The objective of this article is to examine the concept of liberalism, acceptance and rejection of liberalism among Muslim scholars. In addition, the explanation of the intellectual views on liberalism is also highlighted. This article uses a qualitative approach with exploratory case study methods. Textual methods are applied to the information transferred therefore the information can be captured and interpreted. Data analysis is done by employing descriptive analysis. The findings show that there are acceptance and rejection of religious liberal ideology. Muslim scholars and independent intellectuals have also expressed their comprehensive views to wisely reject the ideology of religious liberalism as it is undoubtedly an apparent deviation from Islamic principles.
