Human Rights in Islam and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798630100719)

There are lots of misconception about Muslims, Islamic laws, and applying the laws to the society. When the critics look at some of the Islamic countries, they point out the cruel way of treating and subjecting the people to apply Islamic laws, and consider it barbaric. Capital punishments are criticized and this concept paint whole picture about Islam and Muslim as heinous and nomadic, without mercy. The book is written comparing UN Human Rights and what laws Quran has given fourteen hundred years ago. Comparing the laws framed by The Universal Declaration of Human Rights that was adopted on December 10, 1948 by the General Assembly of the United Nations and exactly same human rights given in Quran. The attempt of this analysis is to show how each of the fundamental human rights guaranteed in this declaration are already found in the Holy Quran. We will discuss one by UN Human Rights Articles of Human rights, and compare it with Quran's order. The Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammad a unlettered man, born in Arabia, (Present Saudi Arabia) in the city of Makkah, in the year 571 AD. The main aim is to remove misconceptions from minds of people who do not understand or know the book revealed long ago. The punishment in Islamic law is to create fear among criminals so that laws will have upper hand. As per study of law and order situation in my home country, there are so many loop holes in the system of implementing punishment that it takes ten to fifteen years before culprits are punished. This gives a room for the criminals to keep on doing crimes, as they do not fear the laws.
