<![CDATA[Human rights (HR) in Islamic political philosophy are closely related to the interplay between human dignity, state authority, Sharia, and the public good. This study analyses the construction of human rights from the perspective of Islamic political philosophy, using karamah insaniyyah, the concept of political power as a trust, and maqaṣid al-Shari’ah as analytical frameworks. The study employs a qualitative approach through library research and a philosophical-conceptual approach. Primary sources include the works of Al-Farabi, Al-Mawardi, and Ibn Khaldun, while secondary sources consist of relevant academic books and national and international journal articles. The analysis is conducted interpretively, philosophically, critically, and comparatively to identify the relationship between human rights, political legitimacy, justice, and the public good. The findings indicate that human rights in Islamic political philosophy are rooted in karamah insaniyyah, which connects rights with obligations and moral responsibility. The political thought of Al-Farabi, Al-Mawardi, and Ibn Khaldun demonstrates that state power should be oriented toward virtue, trust, justice, and the public good. Maqaṣid al-Shari’ah serves as an evaluative framework for assessing the exercise of state power by examining its protection of human rights, justice, public welfare, harm prevention, and accountability. The study argues that religious legitimacy does not automatically constitute moral legitimacy and that human rights protection requires the just and accountable limitation of state power.]]>
