Abstract

The foundational principles of human rights in Islam are inherently linked to essential entitlements such as the right to life, protection from forced labour, the right to own property, and freedom of expression. Both religious and secular worldviews have historically influenced the legal frameworks that govern human rights. Despite being regarded as inherent and inviolable, these rights have been frequently violated, resulting in the suffering and death of countless individuals through acts of cruelty and injustice. In response to the atrocities of World War II, the United Nations General Assembly formulated and adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), marking a significant step in the global acknowledgement of these rights. However, the Western approach to human rights has often differed in terms of interpretation, implementation, and access. The evolution of human rights is, in essence, a continuous discourse on what constitutes the inherent dignity and rightful entitlements of the human being. Ideally, such rights should be considered universal and beyond dispute. Recognizing this, I found it imperative to emphasize the significance of human dignity and property rights from an Islamic standpoint.

Abstract

In the late years of the 14th century people across the globe and Europe in particular believed in exclusive social structure based on uni-cultural values. At this conjuncture of history a new Muslim caliphate based on dynastic rule “the Ottoman Empire” emerged on the map of the world. This empire has two broad categories of people consisting of two groups Muslims and non-Muslims. Religion was the decisive factor in describing the statute of people under the Ottoman Empire. There were ethnic groups too under the Ottomans, all these groups were protected without any discrimination based on ethnicity, religion etc. All these groups were given full protection under the Ottoman legal system derived from Shari’ah. All non-Muslims enjoyed reasonable freedom under the course of law. The major significance of this paper is to bridge the gap/gulf which exists in the minds of general reading classes to facilitate peace and harmony between different communities across the globe.
