Human Rights and Justice in Islam
Islam provides many human rights for the
individual. The following are some of these human rights that Islam protects.The life and property of all citizens in an
Islamic state are considered sacred, whether a person is Muslim or not. Islam
also protects honor. So, in Islam, insulting others or making fun of them is not
allowed. The Prophet Muhammad
said: {Truly your blood, your property, and your honor are inviolable.}1Racism is not allowed in Islam, for the Quran
speaks of human equality in the following terms:O mankind, We have created you from a
male and a female and have made you into nations and tribes for you to know one
another. Truly, the noblest of you with God is the most pious.2
Truly, God
is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
(Quran, 49:13)Islam rejects certain individuals or nations being
favored because of their wealth, power, or race. God created human beings as
equals who are to be distinguished from each other only on the basis of their
faith and piety. The Prophet Muhammad
said: {O people! Your God is one and your
forefather (Adam) is one. An Arab is not better than a non-Arab and a non-Arab
is not better than an Arab, and a red (i.e. white tinged with red) person is not
better than a black person and a black person is not better than a red
person,3 except in piety.}4
One of the major problems facing mankind today is
racism. The developed world can send a man to the moon but cannot stop man from
hating and fighting his fellow man. Ever since the days of the Prophet Muhammad , Islam has provided a vivid
example of how racism can be ended. The annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to
Makkah shows the real Islamic brotherhood of all races and nations, when about
two million Muslims from all over the world come to Makkah to perform the
pilgrimage.Islam is a religion of justice. God has said:
Truly God commands you to give back trusts to
those to whom they are due, and when you judge between people, to judge with
justice.... (Quran, 4:58)And He has said:
...And act justly. Truly, God loves those who
are just. (Quran,
49:9)We should even be just with those who we hate, as
God has said:...And let not the hatred of others make you
avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety.... (Quran, 5:8)The Prophet Muhammad
said: {People, beware of injustice,5 for injustice
shall be darkness on the Day of Judgment.}6And those who have not gotten their rights (i.e.
what they have a just claim to) in this life will receive them on the Day of
Judgment, as the Prophet
said: {On the Day of Judgment, rights will be given to those to whom they are due (and
wrongs will be redressed)...}7Learn Holy Quran because it will be a proof for us muslim on the Day of Judgment.
This is due to the statement of the Messenger: “And the Quran is a proof for you or against you.” [Muslim] so the deputy of every Muslim is to read quran and learn quran with tajweed so one of two things will occur with this proof, the Book of Allah. And this quran education will be in your favor, a proof for us on the Day when we will need every single good deed and learning quran along with doing quran memorization is one of it and to add more spread the quran teaching and spread the kids quran knowledge and listening to quran online and understand the quran tafseer , it will be something standing against us and follow the guidance of or prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and these good deeds will be a proof against us! Who could be saved from the terrors of that Day if Allah’s own Speech is against him?!?! Think carefully, so reading Arabic Quran and teaching our kids quran qaida with the tafseer of quran and let the kids memorize quran dear Muslim brother or sister, about your position with the reading Quran! Are you neglecting it, contradicting it, being heedless of its orders and prohibitions, are you thinking deeply over it?! Will it be on your side on the Day of Judgment.? So learn quran recitation! O Allah! We ask you, by Your Glorious Speech and the rest of your beautiful Names and Attributes, to make the Quran a proof for us! So the Quran tutor should let his student know about these facts also,
