- No
other religion is as much concerned with the issue of
human rights as is Islam. Privacy, freedom and
equality are guaranteed in Islam. The holy
Qur'an states clearly:
-
- There is no
compulsion in religion.
- (Qur'an,
2:256)
-
- Privacy
- The life and property
of all citizens in an Islamic state are considered
sacred, whether or not the person is
Muslim.
-
- Each person looks
forward to secure his needs and achieve his wishes, those
needs and wishes that vary and change by place and time.
- But one man is unable
to achieve all his needs by himself without seeking
others help, so he should deal with others, and the way
of such deal takes places between persons of the mankind,
but by nature, the strong persons usually impose upon
weak ones, for that the Qur'an speaks of human in
the following terms:
-
- O Mankind! We
created you from a single soul, male and female, and made
you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know
one another. Truly, the most honoured of you in God's
sight is the greatest of you in piety.
- (Qur'an,
49:13)
-
- That's the reason for
why there should be human rights as a law and system that
should be respected.
-
- Freedom and
equality
- Liberty and freedom
have significant position in Islam, the certify
statement which is the first words person says when get
to be Moslem says: "There is no God but Allah".
This statement itself represents the full meaning of
liberty! The first half of the statement " there is
no God" it frees human from all slavery shapes
and kinds. Then after that, the 2nd half of the statement
"but Allah" assures that man slavery is
towards Allah alone.
- All people are equal
in this, no one is better than the others, no one impose
upon or use the others. The short certify statement
guaranteed all this, this statement is the unification
certification statement which Islam is built upon.
Racism is incompatible with Islam
-
- Allah says:
-
- If not him, ye
worship nothing But names which ye have named ye and your
fathers For which God hath sent down No authority , the
command Is for non but God, He Hath commanded that ye
worship None but Him, that is The right religion, but
Most men understand not.
- (Qur'an,
12:40)
-
- Never should a
believer kill a believer
if it so
happens by
mistake
- (Qur'an, 4:
92)
-
- Freedom is
restraint to two
facts:
- * A man to Control
himself and adjust his mind not to follow his passion
if it goes out of Allah law.
- * To feel
sensitivity towards others rights.
-
- So when a man
practice his freedom under those two control points, he
will not abuse himself -by disobey Allah law- nor
he will expose himself to Allah penalty, also he
will not abuse others by get over their
rights.
