The Source of ‘Rights’
point
In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, the Merciful
Almighty, the Prudent, says in His holy Book:
“ ...Nay, he has brought them the truth, and most of them are averse to the truth. And should the truth follow their low desires, surely the heavens and the earth and all those who are therein would have perished....” (23:70-71).
And Allah the Exalted is true.
Preface
The subject of our discussion is the origin of ‘rights’. Before entering into discussion of the subject matter it is essential to explain the meaning of right and its usage.
Right, justice and its synonyms are the most sacrosanct words, which enjoy highest sanctity and special elegance of meaning in all the human societies. One can hardly come across a person who would like to introduce himself as the supporter of falsehood and oppression and oppression and opposed to justice and the right. The most tyrant persons and governments proclaim to be true and just in order to deceive the people. They want to cover the ugliness of their aggressive tyrant deeds under the beautiful mantle of justice and truth. The affinity of these two meanings becomes clearer when justice is defined as dispensation of right to the rightful.
