Human Rights in Islam - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief Human Rights in Islam 2021-06-21 882 Views Human Rights , Islam and Humanity , Islam and Human Rights Hence Allah is the Absolute and the Sole Master of men and the universe, He is the Sovereign Lord, the Sustainer and Nourisher, the Merciful, Whose mercy enshrines all beings.

And since He has given each human dignity and honour, it follows that united in Him and through Him, and apart from their other human attributes, men are substantially the same and no tangible and actual distinction can be made among them, on account of their accidental differences such as nationality, colour or race.

Every human being is thereby related to all others and all become one community of brotherhood in their honourable and pleasant servitude to the most compassionate Lord of the Universe. In such a heavenly atmosphere, the Islamic confession of the oneness of God stands dominant and central and necessarily entails the concept of the oneness of humanity and the fellowship of humankind.

Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances whether such a person is resident within the territory of the Islamic state or outside it, whether he is at peace or at war. The Holy Quran very clearly states: ” O you who have faith! Be maintainers, as witnesses for the sake of Allah, of justice, and ill feelings for a people should never lead you to be unfair.

Be fair; that is nearer to God-wariness, and be wary of Allah. Allah is indeed well aware of what you do” (Qur’an 5:8) Human blood is sacred in any case and cannot be spilt without justification.
