A critical overview of human rights from western perspective reveals their
deficiencies in conceptualization, flaws in formulation, and injustices in application.
This all is due to political agendas, economic pressure and culturally biased
viewpoints. They often serve the interests of certain organizations. As such they carry
the residues of colonialism and imperialism. This is clear from the ongoing
suppression and atrocities inflicted on poor and weak nations without any effective
measures being taken by these organizations for their defense and protection. Double
standard is applied when it comes to the violation of human rights. Weak states are
vigorously pursued whereas, powerful are blatantly exempted from prosecution. Islam
as a divine and universal guidance lies a comprehensive framework of values that
embodies universal human rights, which is free of bias and deal with the abuser of the
human rights equally regardless the race, religion and color factors, hence provides a
universal criterion for human rights. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze the
issue of human rights from an Islamic perspective in the light of the purposes of the
law, and delineate the mechanism for their protection. Using both descriptive and
analytical methods the research concludes that Islam provides a comprehensive and
practical mechanism for protection of human rights which is just and of universal
application hence is the pioneer of human rights. |
