Importance of Human Rights
First,I will describe that what Human Rights are! Human rights means the rights given by Allah to any human ,no matter he is man or woman .Allah Almighty has given rights to live ,rights to achieve ,rights to take breath by his/her own.Being a human every person has its his/her own right to live accordingly.Islam also suggests humans to breath on its own .Islam is our religion ,it gives us protection from evil thoughts but on other way it teaches us all the aspects on which we can fight for our rights.Islam says that there is no difference between a muslim and a non- muslim ,there is no difference between a black or white person,even there is no difference between a rich person and a poor person.Humans are the creature of God which Allah made from mud of the clay.Allah loves humans more than any creature in the universe When we do not fight for or our rights,we not only are cruel on ourselves but also we are hurting the most loved creature of Allah.
Now a days,so many human right parties and social media movements make so many issues and work to show human rights in the society for common people as they can fight for themselves But in the ancient time Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole .
Islamic point of view about Human Rights:
The point which I would like to clarify at the very outset is that when we speak of human rights in Islam we really mean these rights have been granted by God they are not granted by the king or by any legislative assembly. The rights granted by the king or the legislative assemblies can also be withdrawn in the same manner in which they are conferred the same in the case with the rights accepted and recognized by the dictators they can confer them when they please and withdraw them when they wish,and they can openly violet them when they like but since in islam Human rights have been conferred by God no legislative assembly in the world or any government on earth has the right or authority to make any amendment or change in the rights conferred by God.No one has the right to abrogate them or withdraw them.Nor are the basic human rights which are conferred on paper for the sake of show and exhibition and denied in actual life when the show is over.nor are they like philosophical concepts which have no sections behind them.
Equality of human beings:
Islam not only recognizes absolute equality between new respective of any distinction of color,race or nationality but makes it an important and significant principal ,a reality .The almighty God has laid down in the Holy Quran ,"O mankind ,we have created you from male and female.In the other words all human beings are brothers to one and each other .They all are the descendant from one father and one mother.And we have set you up as nations and tribes so that you may be able to recognize each other."This means that the division of human beings into nations ,races,groups and tribes so that people of one race or tribe may meet and be acquainted with the people belonging to another race or tribe and co-operate with one another.
This has been examplified by the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) in one of his saying thus,"No Arab has any superiority over a non Arab ,nor does a non -Arab have any superiority over an Arab,nor does a non Arab have any superiority over an Arab.

Islam has prescribed a general principal of paramount importance and universal application saying :"Co-operate with one another for virtue and helpfulness and don't co-operate with one another for the purpose of vice and aggression".This means that the man who undertakes a noble and righteous work ,irrespective of the fact whether he is living at he north pole or the south pole,has the right to expect support and active co-operation from the Muslims.On the contrary he who perpetrates deeds of vice and aggression,even if he is our closest relation or neighbor does not have the right to win or support and help in the name of race,country language or nationality ,nor should he have the expectations that Muslims will co-operate with him /her or support him/her.The wicked and vicious person may be our own brother but he is not of us and he cannot have no help or support from us as long as he does not repent and reforms his ways.
