Rights of Minorities under Islam
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
The Islam is very clear that Minorities should be treated equally by the State which follows Islam. Fundamental rights are available to the Minorities in Islamic territories. Besides it, they are having certain special rights for the protection of their culture and religion. They have full right to profess and practice religion or faith of their choice. The State will be duty bound to protect their place of worship. They will be protected from all types of violence and aggression. The Quranic injunctions and prophetic traditions guarantee a society, where all citizens of the state enjoy equal rights irrespective of their religion. Keywords: Islam, Minority Rights, Human Rights, Non-Muslims, Quran, Hadith.
