Human Rights and Islam

Meer over het boek

The book explores the contrasting perspectives on human rights between Islamic principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. While the Declaration champions universal dignity and equality, Islamic frameworks often impose limitations on civil and political rights based on religious tenets. It emphasizes the diversity within Muslim interpretations of human rights, highlighting that no single voice can represent the entire Islamic viewpoint. The discussion underscores the complexity of defining human rights, which are meant to be inherent to all individuals, regardless of their backgrounds.
