Islam , Western , Freedom ,Respect, Principal , Rights.Abstract
The importance of this topic is also due to the fact that all human beings have equal rights in this world and no human being has any superiority over another human being and all are equal in the sight of Allah. Our beloved Prophet (P.B.U.H) solved the problems of the strong, weak, rich and poor people, the needy in human society and led to success by reforming each individual defined the rights of every member of the society. The System of Islamic government that Islam declared was something that did not exist anywhere in the systems of government around it. The foundation of a regular legal is laid and democratic government. Interpreted and defined public rights established penal and limited crime rights positions. Formulated financial, civil and administrative laws, taught justice, legal tolerance and exceptions to personal rule and eradicated caste discrimination. There is no dought that both Islam and the Western attach great importance to human rights and fundamental freedoms, but their perspectives on the issue of human rights are fundamentally different.
The basis of this difference is seen from the fundamental point of view of both while the Western concept of human rights is ladeeni.
On the basis of this fundamental difference which is related to the concept of total sovereignty, there is a difference in human rights between Islam and western thought .In Islam the human rights and civil liberties granted by Allah and his Messenger (PBUH) are clearly defined and are sacred and inalienable. These rights cannot be revoked, altered, modified or suspended under any circumstances what so ever. No king, head of state, supreme ruler or legislature is authorized to violate these rights. However, the legislative bodies of Islamic states have the power to increase the assigned facts in view of the changed economic and social conditions, provided that the increased rights do not contradict the injunctions of the Qur'an and Sunnah. The rights granted by Islam are universal in nature and are not limited to the citizens of any state. Muslims and non-Muslim citizens around the world can get benefit from them without discrimination.
