نبی ﷺ کی سماجی اصلاحات 01

Abstract

Human rights are an important issue of every century. The importance of this issue has increased immensely in this age of information and technology where every person is well aware of his rights, among which is social justice. Islam has designed rules and regulations for social justice. It has provided a well-balanced system for it, has made people aware of their social rights, and encouraged them to get those rights. The life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W are true reflections of a social justice system that is needed in this age. The Prophet’s last sermon delivered at the occasion of Hajjatul Wida is considered to be the first detailed charter of human rights. He mentioned in that sermon the value of life, property and the esteem of a human being. Islam urges Muslims to deal with women, the oppressed, orphans, those in debt, laborers, neighbors and non-Muslims with sympathy and equality. This article attempts to present the true teachings of Islam regarding social justice, in light of the Quran and the Prophet’s life.
