Islam does not seek to restrict human rights or privileges to the geographical limits. Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights. Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole. Every human being is thereby related to all become one community of brotherhood, as per Islam.
According to the address of the Prophet (PBUH) on the occasion of the Farewell Hajj, 'human blood is sacred in any case and cannot be spilled without justification. It is not permissible to oppress women, children, old people, the sick or the wounded. Women's honour and chastity are to be respected under all circumstances'. Human rights in Islam mean that Allah has granted these rights.
The charter and resolutions of United Nations are adopted from the Human Rights of Islam also. The book deals with all the fundamental aspects and misunderstanding of Human Rights of Islam. And this rich work by an eminent Arabic scholar may be a useful addition to the literature.
