Why Does Islam Concern With All Creatures Rights?
Since the creator is the most
merciful , he doesn’t leave his creatures Without a law that guarantees their
rights and protects their safety. this law is the true religion revealed by the
Almighty. this religion has a great effect on the all aspects of life for those
who adhere it. each one is protected & honored by this divine religion.
Likewise, people's rights- regardless of their sex, position, religion &
age-are respected. these rights are ensured in the Nobel Quran and in the
sayings of Allah's Apostle peace and blessings be upon him.
As an example not as restriction
,the following verses and prophet sayings will be mentioned:
The right of parents:
God says"Your Lord has
decreed that you worship non but Him, and that (you show) kindness to parents.
Should one or both of them attain to old age with you, Say not "Fie'' unto
them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word. And lower unto them
the wing of submission through mercy and say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both
as they did care for me when I was little. Your Lord is best aware of what is
in yourselves. If you are righteous, then Lo! He was ever forgiving unto those
who turn unto Him)"
the rights of old and young, the
prophet says:
" He is not of us who does
not have mercy on young children, nor honor the elderly"
The right of orphans is to treat
them kindly and justly ,the prophet says: ''The best Muslim house is that in
which is an orphan, who is benefited; and the worst Muslim house is that in
which an orphan is ill-treated"
and he appreciates the one who
esteems the daughters rights ;the prophet says"' Whoever has a daughter,
and does not bury her alive or scold her, or prefer his male children to her,
may God bring him into Paradise"
one of the main rights in islam is
to respect man's property and his blood, prophet says' man's property is as
sacred as his blood"
In this divine LAW, non-believers
must be protected ,Allah's Apostle says : "he who hurts a covenanted man
hurts me .and he who hurts me hurts God"
Furthermore, animals' rights
should be respected, otherwise ,we would deserve God's punishment, The prophet
says : "A woman was punished (by God) because of a cat. She had not
provided (the cat) with food or drink, nor had she set it free so that it might
eat the insects of the earth"
The arousing question is why does
islam concern with all creatures rights?
1- It is an evidence for
"islam divine source" God wants us to live the" perfect
life" then , he sends a law as a tool for this purpose to protect our
rights in this world and to find the complete rest in worshipping Him,that is
islam
2- It is an evidence for its noble
aim ''building the human civilizations not destruct them'' hundreds of quranic
verses and prophet sayings ask us to be kind with other and wipe their
miserable and to be helpful with them , God says "(The righteous are
those) who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God, saying:
'We feed you for the sake of God Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor
thanks''
Some other verses heighten the
position of the positive workers who work for all creatures benefits, prophet
says: "All creatures are like a family (Ayal) of God: and he loves the
most those who are the most beneficent to His family". and in the
contrary, God censures those who ruin anything around them, he says: '"
Work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering (thereof). and call on Him
in fear and hope. Lo! the mercy of Allah is nigh unto the good'"' ',and we
are encouraged by this divine law to build ,to feed , to product, and to farm
,the prophet says :''if a Muslim plants a tree or grows a crop from which a
bird or a man or an animal eats ,it will be considered (by God)as a charitable
act'''
