This study seeks to shed light on a significant issue in the field of creativity; it is "The Literary Censorship" and the repression practised on creative works whether they are intellectual, narrative, or poetic and that by going into their essence, by means of unveiling their hidden and declared methods, their inter-complex dimensions and their different forms. The Censorship's act and its practices are represented in three institutions: politics, society, and religion. Sometimes these institutions assist each other whereas others get sporadic for one reason; which is the control of the creative productions and the punishment of their owners that take rebellion as a slogan of theirs.

Islam affirms the freedom to everyone to choose the religion he wants. It is not permissible in Islam to force anyone to enter into it, and this is confirmed by the texts of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet. The biography of the Prophet, peace be upon him, with the Jews, the Christians and others testifies that he did not force anyone to enter into the religion of Islam, but he left them free to choose their religion. But Islam does not allow Muslims to renounce the religion of Islam after he entered into it voluntarily, therefore, proceeded to the punishment the apostate has a philosophy for that legislation. There are some researchers who think that the punishment of the apostate is left to the authority of the guardian in the Islamic State, and some people think that it would be in the Day of Judgment.
