Discussion on ‘Human Rights’ is being very common these days; I personally believe that Islam firstly gives the concept of human rights. We can find this very topic in our holy book ‘Quran’. We can see this topic throughout the human history and how Human Rights had been implemented in society by different civilizations.

From time immemorial humanity has been torn into pieces due to vanity and self-conceit, based on race, cast or creed. In early times Greeks hated the non-Greeks, the Romans despised the non-Romans and Arabs held the non-Arabs in contempt, calling them “Ajam”(meaning dumb). Similarly the Egyptians under Pharaoh treated the Israelites as helots, reducing them to social and political serfdom. When the Israelites rose to power they tried to crush the Christians and other people. The Christians in their turn left no stone unturned to eliminate the Jews from the face of the earth.

It is really one of the saddest calamities for humanity that in the present age, said to be an age of advanced civilization and culture, the evil effects of regional and racial discrimination are continuing unabated in different parts of the world. The UN which originally aimed at stopping the exploitation of the week by the strong and ensuring fundamental rights for the mankind has poorly failed in its objective simply because some of its prominent members are still indulging in their old game of differentiating between the whites and the blacks and between high caste and low caste people.

Going back through history, the concept of human rights in Islam and its practical applications to human beings are neglected. However, Islam with its divine dependence on Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) contains massage of human rights as its basic law and injects the values of interest, which fully normalize the claims and demands and needs in every society for which law and provisions were made for the interest of individual human beings.

As we all know rights and duties are correlated. One cannot have a right without duty or a duty without right, so law had particular influence on rights and duties. The function of the law is to control illegal activities and safeguard the rights of the other human beings. Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.), the final messenger, worked day and night for the preservation of human rights. He acted very strongly against human rights atrocities. Moreover, after migration in 622 A.D., he introduced a charter in Madinah, which guarantees full protection of religion, life, and also safeguards property.

So, from above discussion we can conclude that Islam is the one of the best protector of Human Rights, the only thing is that how we get the things in our consideration.
