Social Rights in the Light of Quran and Sunnah

Islam is the religion of peace and justice, which gives equal rights to entire humanity. God has clearly declared that no one is superior and powerful in this world over one another. To avoid injustice and cruelty in society Allah mentions the rights of every individual in Quran like rights of spouses, rights of parents and descendants etc. God has commanded to mankind for the fulfillment of rights of people otherwise they would be answerable for their irresponsibility in the Day of Judgment. Allah infinitely loves His creatures and does not tolerate and forgive violation in human rights so that is why whatever the reason behind nonfulfillment or injustice, it is always considered as a greater sin until or unless the person who suffers the violence gives forgiveness by his own will to the sinner.

Individual and social rights of people are discussed in Quran in a detailed way. Here we are discussing some basic social rights which have greater impact on the prosperity of a country.

The Right of Living

Allah is the Creator of this world so He has the only right to take away our lives whenever He wants and no one other than God has allowed for killing human being without any valid reason like corruption etc.

Allah says in Quran:

“Whosoever kills a human being without (any reason like) man slaughter, or corruption on earth, it is as though he had killed all mankind.” [5:32]

Allah forbids killing mankind because He gives them the right to live.

“Do not kill a soul which Allah has made sacred except through the due process of law” ... [6:151]

Living is the basic right of human beings so whoever saves the life of a single man, he or she ultimately saves the whole humanity.

In Quran it mentions that:

"And whoever saves a life it is as though he had saved the lives of all mankind." [5:32]
