Truth is the dream of philosophers and the only pursuit of  philosophy, science and arts. Man has the natural impetus for truth and  as Aristotle said that Truth does not need justification, for it is  clear enough as justification. Truth stands on its own feet and our mind  accepts it as it is.
Mathematical truth, for example, is  considered to be a perfect science that justifies itself, whether its  origin is an external entity existing on its own or our own invention.  If Islam as a monotheistic religion makes the mind as judge, then how  can this be related to the concepts of freedom and justice that Islam  calls for? 
Islam considers man's mind as the judge but such a state needs to be  exercised within the criterion of freedom. If God is the ultimate  objective of man's belief and man's submission unto, then man must have  the freedom of choice between belief and disbelief, this is depenent on  the non-viability of a proof for God's existence.
In  other words, if Islam calls for the acknowledgement of a God then it  must, a priori, provide proof and evidence for its premises. But Islam,  like other monotheistic religions, or even any other belief system in  the general sense of belief, does not provide proof, nor evidence not  even a solid argument, for the existence of God.
Islam as a religion challenges man to look into the universe, and must  have the freedom of looking into the universe, then man is given the  choice, and he must have the freedom of choice, and then man must make  his own convictions towards the premises advanced for belief, and man  must have the freedom of making such convictions. This consists of the  aspect of freedom in Islam. The freedom to consider the universe as an  act of creation by one and only God or otherwise.
