Human rights in Islamic civilizationIntroductionWestern philosopher Nietzsche says: The weak and failures should perish: first principle of our love of humanity. And they should be helped to do this[1]!But the philosophy of Islam and its law have never deviated from the values andethics, which were represented in a set of rights that included all human beingswithout distinction between colors, races or languages, and also included thehuman behavior in dealing with each other. These values and ethics were alsorepresented in maintaining and applying these rights with the authority ofIslamic law and imposing sanctions upon offenders.Islam>s view for humansIslam treats man with honor and esteem out of Allah>s saying: {We havehonored the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea;given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them specialfavors, above a great part of our creation.}[Al-Isra: 70]. This view gives specialcharacteristics and features for human rights in Islam. The most importantfeature is the comprehensiveness of these rights.These rights include political, economic, social and intellectual rights. They are also common for Muslims andnon-Muslims without distinction between colors, races or languages. They arenot subject to cancellation or change, as they are linked to the teachings of theLord of the worlds.The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) reported this in his farewelladdress, which was a comprehensive report on human rights, as he said: ...No doubt, your blood and your properties are sacred to one another like thesanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this town of yours, till theday you meet your Lord..[2]. This prophetic address asserted a set of rights, the most important of which is the sanctity of blood, money, honor, and others
