Human Rights in Islam

Since God is the absolute and the sole master of men and the universe. He is the sovereign Lord, the Sustainer and Nourisher, the Merciful, whose mercy enshrines all beings; and since He has given each man human dignity and honour, and breathed into Him, and apart from their other human attributes, men are substantially the same and no tangible and actual distinction can be made among them, on account of their accidental differences such as nationality, colour or race, Every human being is thereby related to all others and all become one community of brotherhood in their honourable and pleasant servitude to the most compassionate Lord of the Universe. In such a heavenly atmosphere the Islamic confession of the oneness of God stands dominant and central, and necessarily entails the concept of the oneness of humanity and the brotherhood of mankind.
