Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Introduction To The Rights And Duties Of Women In Islam Common Rights of Women and Men • What are the common rights of men and women? Reply: Islam does not regard women and men any different in their humanness and it considers this principle so obvious that it does not feel the need to openly stress this issue in the Quran or Hadith. Hence, whenever a Quranic verse or Hadith addresses humans, both men and women are intended.

At the advent of Islam even in ‘civilized’ nations there was a controversy as to whether women were human or not or perhaps half-human. The case of human rights has only become global for about a century. Assuredly, Islam has discussed this topic from the very beginning and has determined and validated various rights. The issues I shall subsequently discuss regarding women’s rights are the same that are sometimes discussed as human rights, which are common among women and men.

Here I shall itemize several of the most important points: The Right to Live and Exist As living beings, humans have the right to continue their lives and no one has the right to take this right away from them without religiously and legally legitimate grounds. The Right to Freedom Every person, man and woman, has been created free and this freedom has been ingrained upon every soul.

No one has the right to deprive any person of this freedom unless it causes conflict with the freedom of others or divergence from their own or the society’s interests. The Right to Utilize Natural Resources We live in a world that requires of us various needs: water, air, food, clothing, etc. We must be able to consume food, oxygen, and the like. Resources such as mines, forests, jungles, and seas belong to the people and naturally, humans have the right to utilize them.

No one has the right to prevent us unless this right conflicts with the rights of others. It is the same regarding the right of residency. Because humans require a home, naturally, they have the right to obtain a home for themselves within the boundaries of their country or city, or anywhere else for that matter. Of course, it is established that this must be according to a specific regulative system, which is a necessity for social life and required for providing public interests.

In all of these points, we state that due to our human nature and according to primary principles, we have such rights.
