Islamic Law and Human Rights

Islam, as a faith is a complete code of life. It tells its followers how to lead a happy and prosperous life, here and hereafter. Almighty Allah's last and final Prophet, Muhammad (Pbuh) preached a goodfor- all-times religion in this world over 1400 years back in the Arabian desert. When the Prophet (Pbuh) opened his eyes in this world, the Land of Arabia was completely engulfed in inhuman and utterly barbarous practices. There was no room for mercy and compassion in stony-hearted people of Arabia. Seeing this utterly ignoble and pathetic condition, Allah, the Mighty and Powerful, decided to change the age-long tradition, prevailing among the pagans. These people were not known to education, rights of human beings, neighbours, parents and even the Divine Creator.
