Human Rights
& Responsibilities: Human rights according to the Islamic perspective are those rights that have been granted by God. No one has the authority to abrogate them or withdraw them. These rights cannot be conferred, withdrawn or violated at the whim of individuals, leaders or groups. Islam invites humankind to transcend the lower level of animalistic self (nafs haiwaniyah), to go beyond the limitations fostered by kinship of blood, racial superiority, linguistic arrogance, gender bias or economic privilege. It invites humankind to move on to a plane of existence where, by reason of inner excellence (ihsân) they can realize the ideal of a United Humanity.
