Description

Islam promulgates the primary sources of human Rights as the Holy Quran and Sunnah, the secondary sources are the Constitution or Charter of Al-Madinah, historic judgments of Prophet (SAW), and practices of rightly guided caliphs, Ijma and Qiyas. Hitherto, Islam promoted the universality of the human experience 13 centuries prior to the United Nations declaration. In this regards Professor Briffault rightly remarks,"The ideals of freedom for all human beings, of human brotherhood, of the equality of all men before the law, of democratic government by consultation and universal suffrage, the ideals that inspired the French Revolution and the Declaration of Rights that guided the framing of the American Constitution and inflamed the struggle for independence in the Latin American countries were not inventions of the West. They find their ultimate inspiration and source in the Holy Quran. They are the quintessence of what the intelligentsia of Mediaeval Europe acquired from Islam over a period of centuries through the various channels of Muslim in Spain, Sicily, the crusaders and of the ideals propagated by the various societies that developed in Europe in the wake of the Crusades intimidation of the brotherhood association of Islam". Islam has evidently forbidden the primitive practice of capturing a free man, to make him a slave or to sell him into slavery. Islam created a revolutionary change in the status and position of slaves. The Prophet (SAW) says: "There are three categories of people against whom I shall myself be a plaintiff on the Day of Judgment. Of these three, one is he who enslaves a free man, then sells him and eats this money."But their voices are not properly implemented yet. As for example, America imports labour and intellect till now from Africa as well as from the undeveloped and developing countries. For this reason, Claude M. Lightfood rightly remarks in case of declaring the characteristic of "Declaration of Independence" (4 July 1776) - "Black remained slaves until regarding 80 years later, women did not receive the right to vote until 112 years later and the working class did not get the legal right to organize and collectively bargain until 150 years later." But Islam never ever wanted to build slavery. Primarily, as the presence of insurgent groups make this conversation imperative, knowledge of slavery in Islam is and has always been an important matter in the history of human rights. Thus, we do not confine our conversation or the importance of this issue to our present context. We nevertheless understand the need for a clear understanding of slavery in Islam given the realities of today. Ultimately, it is important to note that there is a consensus among scholars against the perpetuation of slavery and against its reappearance in the present day. Hence our paper will be a module deemed for publishing upon approval by the respective Prof. The ideas mentioned will be expanded upon research and we will try to conclude our study within seven days Insha'Allah.
