This study aims to analyze the case of Ṭu‘mah Bin Ubairiq during the time of the Prophet Muhammad saw. in order to identify reflections of human rights values. This study uses a qualitative method with a historical-normative approach and Mashood A. Baderin's interdependence theoretical framework, which emphasizes the complementary relationship between Sharia and human rights as two normative systems with the same goal of ensuring justice and human dignity. This article analyzes primary sources of Islamic law and uses the UDHR as a comparative framework. The results of the study show that the resolution of the Ṭu‘mah case strongly reflects the fundamental principles of the UDHR, such as equality before the law (Article 7), the right to a fair trial (Article 10), the presumption of innocence (Article 11), and the protection of property rights (Article 17) and honor (Article 12).
