Human rights:

Quran:

Human rights are of immense importance.

“O you who believe, be steadfast witnesses for allah in equity, and let not hatred of any people deviate you from
justice that you deal not justly. Deal justly that is near to your duty(taqwa) observe your duty to Allah. Lo Allah is
informed of what you do.” 5:8

“Whosoever killed a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption into earth, it shall be as if he had
killed all mankind, and whosoever saved the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.” 5:32

“ there is no corruption in din ( the complete code of life). the right direction is, henceforth, distinct from error.”
2:256

“Those who do not judge by what god has sent down are the disbelievers.” 5:44

Hadith

“Your blood and your property are as sacred as this day and this month (9 th Zil hajj) you will surely meet your lord
and he will ask you of your works. I have told you. He who is entrusted with property belonging to another should
deliver trust to whom it belongs.”

“Behold all practices of paganism and ignorance are now under my feet. The blood revenge of the days of
ignorance (pre Islamic time) are remitted. The first claim on blood I abolish is that of Rabiyah bin haris who was
being nursed in the tribe of Sa’d and whom hudail killed.”

“You will go back to be resurrected (after death) to your lord. There you will be accounted for your deeds. So, do
not turn into people who go astray and kill one another.”

“O people! Listen to what I say and take it to heart. You must know that every Muslim is a brother of another
Muslim and that all Muslims are brethren. All of you are as equal as the fingers of a hand. It is is not lawful for any
man to take anything of his brother’s, except what is given with one’s own free will. Therefore do not do injustice
to one another.”

“And your slaves! See that you feed them with such food as you eat yourself, and clothe them with the stuff you
wear; and if they commit a fault which you are not inclined to forgive, then part from them, for they are the
servants of lord, and are not to be harshly treated.”

“The Arabs are not superior to Ajmis or the ajmis to the Arabs”. Hajja tul Wida
