1 a. Equal human dignity by birth:

 

 ولقد كرمنا بنى ءادم

17:70 Surely, We have conferred dignity on the descendants of the human species (as a birth right, regardless of where the child is born).

 

 لقد خلقنا الانسن فى احسن تقويم

95:4 Indeed, We have created the human being (all of them) in the best design.

 

 1 b. All humans endowed with reason and conscience:

 

 هو الذى خلقكم من تراب ثم من نطفة ثم من علقة ثم يخرجكم طفلا ثم لتبلغوا اشدكم ثم لتكونوا شيوخا ومنكم من يتوفى من قبل ولتبلغوا اجلا مسمى ولعلكم تعقلون

40:67 He is the One Who created you from dust, then from the gametes, then from an embryo, and then He brings you forth as an infant. And then you attain full strength and afterward you grow old; though some of you die earlier. All this He ordains so that you reach a term appointed, and along the way, develop your insight.

 

 ان شر الدواب عند الله الصم البكم الذين لا يعقلون

8:22 Surely, the worst of creations in the sight of God are the deaf and the dumb who do not use their reason.

 

 واختلف اليل والنهار وما انزل الله من السماء من رزق فاحيا به الارض بعد موتها وتصريف الريح ءايت لقوم يعقلون

45:5 And in the alternation of the night and the day, and in the means of sustenance which God sends down from the height, reviving the earth which had been lifeless, and in the change of winds and seasons - in all this are signs for people who use their reason.

 

 افلم يسيروا فى الارض فتكون لهم قلوب يعقلون بها او ءاذان يسمعون بها فانها لا تعمى الابصر ولكن تعمى القلوب التى فى الصدور

22:46 Have they never journeyed about the earth, letting their hearts gain wisdom, and causing their ears to hear? Indeed, it is not their eyes that become blind, but their hearts that are in the chests become blind.

 

1 c. All humans should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood:

 

 كان الناس امة وحدة

2:213 Mankind were one single community.

 

 وما كان الناس الا امة وحدة فاختلفوا ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك لقضى بينهم فيما فيه يختلفون

10:19 All mankind were but one community (and are meant to be so); then they differed. Had it not been for a Word that went forth from your Lord (the Law of Free Will), He would have judged their disputes immediately.

 

 يايها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذى خلقكم من نفس وحدة وخلق منها زوجها وبث منهما رجالا كثيرا ونساء واتقوا الله الذى تساءلون به والارحام ان الله كان عليكم رقيبا

4:1  O Mankind! You have a common origin. Your Lord began the creation of life at the unicellular level. There was one life cell that divided into two, male and female (6:99). (Evolution took place, as has been alluded to in this Book (16:8, 20:50, 21:30, 22:45, 30:20, 31:28, 51:49). Eventually, numerous men and women came into existence on the earth. Since all of you have this common origin, you must consider all mankind as one community (10:19, 57:25). Your first step in that direction is to strengthen your family relations. Be careful of your duty to God in Whose Name you expect rights from one another. God ever watches over you.

 

 

2 a. Gender equity:

 

 Although the Qur'an did allow some ancient levels and behaviours towards women, it already tried to give them their first human rights by giving rights them to have property, divorce and an equal status in front of God. When looking at these verses, it is clear which direction the Qur'an wanted us to to go, and which things to leave behind on the path.

 

 ان المسلمين والمسلمت والمومنين والمومنت والقنتين والقنتت والصدقين والصدقت والصبرين والصبرت والخشعين والخشعت والمتصدقين والمتصدقت والصئمين والصئمت والحفظين فروجهم والحفظت والذكرين الله كثيرا والذكرت اعد الله لهم مغفرة واجرا عظيما

33:35 Verily, for peaceful men and peaceful women,  men who protect fellow humans from harm and women who protect fellow humans from harm, dutiful men and dutiful women, truthful men and truthful women, steadfast men and steadfast women, humble men and humble women, charitable men and charitable women, abstinent men and abstinent women (abstaining from all vices), chaste men and chaste women, men who remain mindful of God and women who remain mindful (of God), for them, God has readied forgiveness and protection against harm and an immense reward.

 

ا ولهن مثل الذى عليهن بالمعروف

2:228 Women, in all universal accepted equity, have rights similar to men.

 

 

 

2 b. The only superiority over another is righteous conduct, not race, gender, nationality or creed:

 

 يايها الناس انا خلقنكم من ذكر وانثى وجعلنكم شعوبا وقبائل لتعارفوا ان اكرمكم عند الله اتقىكم ان الله عليم خبير

49:13 O Mankind! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes so that you might (affectionately) come to know one another. Surely, the most honored among you, in the sight of God, is the one who is best in conduct. God is Knower, Aware.

 

 ولكل درجت مما عملوا وليوفيهم اعملهم وهم لا يظلمون

    46:19 And for all there will be ranks according to what they did so that He may recompense their actions. And none shall be wronged.

 

 

 

3. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person:

 

 وما لكم لا تقتلون فى سبيل الله والمستضعفين من الرجال والنساء والولدن الذين يقولون ربنا اخرجنا من هذه القرية الظالم اهلها واجعل لنا من لدنك وليا واجعل لنا من لدنك نصيرا

4:75 What has happened to you that you do not fight in the cause of God? Defenseless men, women, and children are being oppressed and crying, "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors, and raise for us protectors and helpers."

 

 وان احد من المشركين استجارك فاجره حتى يسمع كلم الله ثم ابلغه مامنه ذلك بانهم قوم لا يعلمون

9:6 (O Messenger!) If anyone of the idolaters seeks your protection or a safe passage, grant him protection from the State. Convey to him the Word of God, and then send him to a place where he feels safe and secure. This kindness on your part is mandatory because they are people who do not know (as having not yet seen the beauty of the Divine System.)

 

 

 

4 a. No one can be held as a slave and slaves still present must be set free one by one:

 

 The Qur'an did not forbade the present slavery directly, but it closed up the doors towards creating new slaves and at the same time making the concept of freeing slaves a virtue. In this, it made ancient society ready to let go of slavery, but sadly few would listen to this.

 

ه والذين يبتغون الكتب مما ملكت ايمنكم فكاتبوهم ان علمتم فيهم خيرا وءاتوهم من مال الله الذى ءاتىك

24:33 If any of the male and female servants and slaves desires a deed of emancipation, write it for them ensuring good for them by way of rehabilitation. If you find that they are ready, and give them from the wealth of God which He has bestowed upon you.

 

 فتحرير رقبة مومنة

4:92 there is the duty of freeing an adherrent to peace from bondage; may it be slavery, extreme poverty, crushing debt or oppression.

 

 تحرير رقب

5:89 Or, freeing one human being from bondage, whether it is slavery, extreme poverty, heavy debt, or oppression.

 

 

4 b. No slaves can be made in any situation, not even in war. Just free them or ransom them:

 

اق فاما منا بعد واما فداء حتى تضع الحرب اوزارها

47:4 (The prisoners of war), you may either set them free or ransom them, until the war ends.

 

 

 

5. No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment:

 

 The Qur'an does allow capital punishment in the case of murder or crimes against humanity, but it implores to forgive the person. Also when talking about crimes for fasad the verses as 5:33 can be understood as in the words of scholar Ahmed Ali: "Tuqatta'a could mean restrain them by putting fetters on one hand and one leg", and yusallabu means to execute somebody in a known fashion, thus using the techniques of the time when the verse is read. The Qur'an always presents tortures punishments as something done by the enemies of the people pursuing peace and reformation in society, and thus hinting that cruel ways of punishments are inhuman. Stoning for example is only used by the enemies of the prophets, it is never given as a way of punishment in Islam itself. The act of stoning was an ancient Jewish practice that found its way into Muslim law, and should be removed immediately. But thankfully, most Islamic countries have forbidden it already, although not based on the idea that it is not found in the Qur'an.

 

 فاتياه فقولا انا رسولا ربك فارسل معنا بنى اسرءيل ولا تعذبهم قد جئنك باية من ربك والسلم على من اتبع الهدى

20:47 So both of you go to him and say, "We are two messengers of your Lord. Let the Children of Israel go with us, and stop torturing and persecuting them (la tu'adhadhib means do not punish or torture)  forthwith. We have come to you with a message from your Lord. And Peace be upon him who follows right guidance.

 

 ان الله يامر بالعدل والاحسن وايتائ ذى القربى وينهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر والبغى يعظكم لعلكم تذكرون

16:90 God commands justice, creating balance in the society, benefiting humanity, kindness to His creation, and giving to relatives. And He forbids all indecent deeds, immodesty, stinginess and transgression. He instructs you (again) so that you may take it to heart.

 

 واقتلوهم حيث ثقفتموهم واخرجوهم من حيث اخرجوكم والفتنة اشد من القتل ولا تقتلوهم عند المسجد الحرام حتى يقتلوكم فيه فان قتلوكم فاقتلوهم كذلك جزاء الكفري

2:190 And fight in God's cause against those who wage war against you, but do not commit aggression and transgression-for, verily, God does not love aggressors.

 

 

 

6, 7, 8 and 10. Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person in all equality before the law:

 

حت فان جاءوك فاحكم بينهم او اعرض عنهم وان تعرض عنهم فلن يضروك شيا وان حكمت فاحكم بينهم بالقسط ان الله يحب المقسطين

5:42 If they come to you, then you may judge between them or turn away from them; and if you turn away from them then they cannot harm you in the least; and if you judge then judge between them with justice. God loves those who are just.

 

 ان الله يامركم ان تودوا الامنت الى اهلها واذا حكمتم بين الناس ان تحكموا بالعدل ان الله نعما يعظكم به ان الله كان سميعا بصيرا

4:58 God commands you to entrust your offices to those who are capable, competent and sincere. They shall rule and judge equitably. Give your trusts to whom they belong. The Enlightenment from God is a blessing for you. He is Hearer, Seer of all that transpires in the Universe and in your society.

 

 وممن خلقنا امة يهدون بالحق وبه يعدلون

7:181 Among the communities We have created there have been those who guide with truth and establish justice with it.

 

 يايها الذين ءامنوا كونوا قومين لله شهداء بالقسط ولا يجرمنكم شنان قوم على الا تعدلوا اعدلوا هو اقرب للتقوى واتقوا الله ان الله خبير بما تعملون

5:8 O You who are entrusted with the safety of your fellow beings. Be upholders of justice for the sake of God as witnesses to the truth. Let not the hatred of any people move you away from justice. Deal justly. That is closer to being upright. Be mindful of your duty to God. Surely, God is fully Aware of what you do.

 

والذين استجابوا لربهم واقاموا الصلوة وامرهم شورى بينهم ومما رزقنهم ينفقون والذين اذا اصابهم البغى هم ينتصرون  وجزوا سيئة سيئة مثلها فمن عفا واصلح فاجره على الله انه لا يحب الظلمين  ولمن انتصر بعد ظلمه فاولئك ما عليهم من سبيل  انما السبيل على الذين يظلمون الناس ويبغون فى الارض بغير الحق اولئك لهم عذاب اليم  ولمن صبر وغفر ان ذلك لمن عزم الامور

42:38-43 42:38 They respond to their Lord by establishing Salaat, and conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, and they keep open for the welfare of others what We have given them. And whenever gross injustice is inflicted upon them, they defend themselves and stand up for their rights. The recompense for a crime shall be its equivalence, but whoever forgives and makes right, then his reward is upon God. He does not like the violators of human rights. And those who stand up for their rights and defend themselves, when they have been wronged, for such, there is no blame. The blame is on those who oppress people and cause disorder on earth resorting to aggression, unprovoked. They are the ones for whom there is an awful doom. Certainly, whoever is patient and forgives, that is from the strength of character.

 

 

 

9, 11 and 12. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention, interference or exile. And no one can penal or take away the honour of the person or family:

 

Proof must be given:

 

 والذين يرمون المحصنت ثم لم ياتوا باربعة شهداء فاجلدوهم ثمنين جلدة ولا تقبلوا لهم شهدة ابدا واولئك هم الفسقون

24:4 (Protecting the honor of a woman is extremely important.) Those who accuse chaste women and then fail to produce four witnesses (the court of law shall order) eighty lashes to such accusers. And never in the future accept their testimony. They have drifted away from morality.

 

 يايها الذين ءامنوا ان جاءكم فاسق بنبا فتبينوا ان تصيبوا قوما بجهلة فتصبحوا على ما فعلتم ندمين

49:6 O you who are entrusted with the safety of your fellow beings, if any iniquitous person person brings any news to you, you shall first investigate, lest you commit injustice towards some people, out of ignorance, then become sorry and remorseful for what you have done.

 

 ولا تزر وازرة وزر اخرى

39:7 No laden one will bear the burden of another.

 

 يايها الذين ءامنوا لا يسخر قوم من قوم عسى ان يكونوا خيرا منهم ولا نساء من نساء عسى ان يكن خيرا منهن ولا تلمزوا انفسكم ولا تنابزوا بالالقب بئس الاسم الفسوق بعد الايمن ومن لم يتب فاولئك هم الظلمون

49:11 O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! No people shall make mockery of other people, for they may be better than they are. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they are. And neither shall you defame nor be sarcastic to one another. And do not call each other by (offensive) nicknames. After attaining faith, evil is (calling by) names that are far from decency. Those who do not return to the right way are the wrongdoers.

 

 

 

13 and 15. Freedom of movement and travel:

 

 قال موسى لقومه استعينوا بالله واصبروا ان الارض لله يورثها من يشاء من عباده والعقبة للمتقين

7:128 Moses assured his people, "Seek help in God and patiently persevere. Remember that the earth belongs to God. He grants it as a heritage to His servants according to His laws. And the future belongs to the righteous and  upright."

 

 وكذلك مكنا ليوسف فى الارض يتبوا منها حيث يشاء نصيب برحمتنا من نشاء ولا نضيع اجر المحسنين

12:56 And it was such that We gave Joseph authority in the land, to travel in it as he pleases. We bestow Our mercy upon whom We please, and We do not waste the reward of the good doers.

 

 وجعلنا بينهم وبين القرى التى بركنا فيها قرى ظهرة وقدرنا فيها السير سيروا فيها ليالى واياما ءامنين

34:18 And We had set, between them and the towns We had blessed, many oases with townships within sight of one another, and thus We had made traveling easy, "Travel safely in this land by night or by day."

 

 قل سيروا فى الارض فانظروا كيف بدا الخلق ثم الله ينشئ النشاة الءاخرة ان الله على كل شىء قدير

29:20 Say, "Travel on earth and find out how He originated creation. And how afterward, God brings forth entirely new forms. Surely, God is the Supreme Designer of all things."

وا الم تكن ارض الله وسعة فتهاجروا فيها

4:97"Was not the earth of God spacious enough for you to migrate?"

 

 

 

14. Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution:

 

 وان احد من المشركين استجارك فاجره حتى يسمع كلم الله ثم ابلغه مامنه ذلك بانهم قوم لا يعلمون

9:6 (O Messenger!) If anyone of the idolaters seeks your protection or a safe passage, grant him protection from the State. Convey to him the Word of God, and then send him to a place where he feels safe and secure. This kindness on your part is mandatory because they are people who do not know (as having not yet seen the beauty of the Divine System.)

 

 

15. Everybody has the right to get married or not by their own wishes:

 

 وانكحوا الايمى منكم والصلحين من عبادكم وامائكم ان يكونوا فقراء يغنهم الله من فضله والله وسع علي

24:32 And marry the singles among you, (whether they are widowed, divorced or bachelors). They may marry the righteous among your male and female servants. If they are poor, God will enrich them with His bounty. God is of Infinite means, and He knows all things.

 

 ولا تكرهوا فتيتكم على البغاء ان اردن تحصنا لتبتغوا عرض الحيوة الدنيا

24:33 And do not force your daughters into marriage when they have desired independence, in order that you may make a gain in the goods of this worldly life.

 

 

 

17. Protection of property:

 

 وابتلوا اليتمى حتى اذا بلغوا النكاح فان ءانستم منهم رشدا فادفعوا اليهم امولهم ولا تاكلوها اسرافا وبدارا ان يكبروا ومن كان غنيا فليستعفف ومن كان فقيرا فلياكل بالمعروف فاذا دفعتم اليهم امولهم فاشهدوا عليهم وكفى بالله حسيبا

4:6 Test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage, then if you determine in them sound judgment, then give them their wealth, and do not deliberately consume it wastefully or quickly before they grow up. Whoever is rich, then let him not claim anything, and if he is poor then let him consume only properly. If you give to them their wealth, then make a witness for them, and God is enough for Reckoning.

 

 ثم انتم هولاء تقتلون انفسكم وتخرجون فريقا منكم من ديرهم تظهرون عليهم بالاثم والعدون وان ياتوكم اسرى تفدوهم وهو محرم عليكم اخراجهم افتومنون ببعض الكتب وتكفرون ببعض فما جزاء من يفعل ذلك منكم الا خزى فى الحيوة الدنيا ويوم القيمة يردون الى اشد العذاب وما الله بغفل عما تعملون

2:85 Yet it is you who subdue and slay your own people, and evict a weak faction among you from their homes. And you support one another in hurting the community and sowing the seeds of discord. And when these homeless people get enslaved by others and are brought to you, you ransom them, whereas it was unlawful for you to evict them in the first place. What! Do you wish to accept one part of the scripture and reject the other? Think then, what the reward of such wrongdoing must be - nothing but disgrace in the life of this world, and on the Day of Resurrection the most grievous chastisement. God is not unaware of what you do.

 

 يايها الذين ءامنوا لا تدخلوا بيوتا غير بيوتكم حتى تستانسوا وتسلموا على اهلها ذلكم خير لكم لعلكم تذكرون

24:27 O You are entrusted with the safety of your fellow beings. Do not enter the houses other than your own until you have obtained permission and greeted their people with peace. That is best for you if you would bear it in mind.

 

 وءاتيتم احدىهن قنطارا فلا تاخذوا منه شي 

4:20And you have given one of them a large amount, then do not take anything from it.

 

 

 

18 and 19. Freedom of religion, thought and expression:

 

 لا اكراه فى الدين قد تبين الرشد من الغى فمن يكفر بالطغوت ويومن بالله فقد استمسك بالعروة الوثقى لا انفصام لها والله سميع عليم

2:256 (Although this message has been sent down by the Almighty) there is absolutely no compulsion or coercion in Religion. Whoever rejects false gods (such as the clergy, human 'authorities') and attains conviction in God, has grasped the Unbreakable Support. God is Hearer, Knower.

 

 الذين اخرجوا من ديرهم بغير حق الا ان يقولوا ربنا الله ولولا دفع الله الناس بعضهم ببعض لهدمت صومع وبيع وصلوت ومسجد يذكر فيها اسم الله كثيرا ولينصرن الله من ينصره ان الله لقوى عزيز

22:40 Those who have been evicted from their homes unjustly, for no reason other than saying, "Our Lord is God!" For, if God had not enabled people to defend themselves against one another, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and masjids, where the Name of God is oft mentioned, would surely have been destroyed. And God will certainly help those who help Him. God is Mighty, Powerful.

 

 ان الذين ءامنوا والذين هادوا والنصرى والصبين من ءامن بالله واليوم الءاخر وعمل صلحا فلهم اجرهم عند ربهم ولا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

2:62 Indeed, those who believe (in the Qur'an and call themselves Muslims, peaceful and protecting other human beings), and those who are Jews, and Christians and those who follow other religions; whoever truly believes in God and the Last Day and does works that benefit humanity, their reward is with their Lord. For them shall be no fear from without, nor shall grief touch them from within.

 

 ان الذين ءامنوا والذين هادوا والصبون والنصرى من ءامن بالله واليوم الءاخر وعمل صلحا فلا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون

5:69 "Those who acknowledge, those who are Jewish, those who are the followers of other religions, and the Nazarenes… Whoever acknowledges God and the Last day and does good works, then they will have nothing to fear nor will they grieve."

 

 ياهل الكتب لم تلبسون الحق بالبطل وتكتمون الحق وانتم تعلمون

3:71 O People of the Book! Why do you cloak the truth with falsehood, and conceal the truth that you are so well aware of?

 

 وعباد الرحمن الذين يمشون على الارض هونا واذا خاطبهم الجهلون قالوا سلما

25:63 The true servants of the Beneficent are those who walk upon the earth humbly, and when the ignorant ones address them, they say, "Peace!"

 

وقد نزل عليكم فى الكتب ان اذا سمعتم ءايت الله يكفر بها ويستهزا بها فلا تقعدوا معهم حتى يخوضوا فى حديث غي

4:140 He has already revealed to you in the Book that, when you hear the revelations of God rejected and ridiculed, sit not with them unless they engage in some other conversation.

 

 وكذلك جعلنا لكل نبى عدوا شيطين الانس والجن يوحى بعضهم الى بعض زخرف القول غرورا ولو شاء ربك ما فعلوه فذرهم وما يفترون

6:112 Remember, We have appointed to every prophet enemies. The rebellious among the urban and the rural populations rose in opposition, (since the message struck at their personal interests.) They plotted and inspired each other with fancy words. If your Lord willed, they would not do that. Disregard them and whatever they fabricate.

 

 

 

20. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association:

 

 واذا ضربتم فى الارض فليس عليكم جناح ان تقصروا من الصلوة ان خفتم ان يفتنكم الذين كفروا ان الكفرين كانوا لكم عدوا مبينا

4:101 When you go forth in the land, there is no blame on you if you shorten the congregations, if you fear that those who bury your rights may attack you. Surely, the rejecters of rights are an open enemy to you.

 

 فيه ءايت بينت مقام ابرهيم ومن دخله كان ءامنا ولله على الناس حج البيت من استطاع اليه سبيلا ومن كفر فان الله غنى عن العلمين

3:97 Therein are clear messages (to achieve that coveted goal and recall) how Abraham once took his stand (against all divisions of humanity and was granted the leadership of all mankind 2:124-125). Those who enter the System symbolized thereby shall find inner peace and external security. So, joining the Hajj Convention at this Meeting Point for the cause of God alone is due on all people who (understand the noble objective and) have the circumstantial means to undertake the visit. One who denies (this wisdom, should know that) certainly, God is Absolutely Independent of His creation.

 

 

 

21. Everybody has the right to participate in the government and be part of it:

 

    والذين استجابوا لربهم واقاموا الصلوة وامرهم شورى بينهم ومما رزقنهم ينفقون والذين اذا اصابهم البغى هم ينتصرون  وجزوا سيئة سيئة مثلها فمن عفا واصلح فاجره على الله انه لا يحب الظلمين  ولمن انتصر بعد ظلمه فاولئك ما عليهم من سبيل  انما السبيل على الذين يظلمون الناس ويبغون فى الارض بغير الحق اولئك لهم عذاب اليم  ولمن صبر وغفر ان ذلك لمن عزم الامور

42:38-43 They respond to their Lord by establishing Salaat, and conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, and they keep open for the welfare of others what We have given them. And whenever gross injustice is inflicted upon them, they defend themselves and stand up for their rights. The recompense for a crime shall be its equivalence, but whoever forgives and makes right, then his reward is upon God. He does not like the violators of human rights. And those who stand up for their rights and defend themselves, when they have been wronged, for such, there is no blame. The blame is on those who oppress people and cause disorder on earth resorting to aggression, unprovoked. They are the ones for whom there is an awful doom. Certainly, whoever is patient and forgives, that is from the strength of character.

 

 ان الله يامركم ان تودوا الامنت الى اهلها واذا حكمتم بين الناس ان تحكموا بالعدل ان الله نعما يعظكم به ان الله كان سميعا بصيرا

4:58 God commands you to entrust your offices to those who are capable, competent and sincere. They shall rule and judge equitably. Give your trusts to whom they belong. The Enlightenment from God is a blessing for you. He is Hearer, Seer of all that transpires in the Universe and in your society.

 

 

 

22. Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality:

 

ء واما ما ينفع الناس فيمكث فى الارض

13:17 While what is of benefit to mankind, abides on earth.

 

 اولئك يسرعون فى الخيرت وهم لها سبقون

23:61 It is those who race with one another to improve the quality of life for humanity, and it is those who are worthy of winning good things.

 

 ان لك الا تجوع فيها ولا تعرى  وانك لا تظموا فيها ولا تضحى

 20:118-119 "Indeed, you are living the life of Paradise (on this very earth) where you are guaranteed never to go hungry, nor go unsheltered. Neither do you go thirsty, nor are you exposed to the burning sun."

 

 ليس البر ان تولوا وجوهكم قبل المشرق والمغرب ولكن البر من ءامن بالله واليوم الءاخر والملئكة والكتب والنبين وءاتى المال على حبه ذوى القربى واليتمى والمسكين وابن السبيل والسائلين وفى الرقاب واقام الصلوة وءاتى الزكوة والموفون بعهدهم اذا عهدوا والصبرين فى الباساء والضراء وحين الباس اولئك الذين صدقوا واولئك هم المتقون

2:177 Righteousness and exponential development of the 'self' depends not on whether you turn your faces to East or West. But righteousness is that: . One has conviction in God, . And the Last Day, . And the Angels, .. And the Book, .. And the prophets. .. And that he gives of his cherished wealth to: .. Family and relatives, .. Orphans, . Widows, .. Those left helpless in the society, . basic needs, And those whose hard-earned income fails to meet their .. Those whose running businesses have stalled, .. The ones who have lost their jobs, .. Whose life has stalled for any reason, .. The disabled, . The needy wayfarer, son of the street, the homeless, the one who travels to you for assistance, .. Those who ask for help, and . Those whose necks are burdened with any kind of bondage, oppression, crushing debts and extreme hardship of labor. . (And righteous are) those who strive to establish the institution of Salaat, (2:3. 2:53) .. And help set up the Economic System of Zakaat. .. They are true to their pledge whenever they make one. . And they remain steadfast in physical or emotional distress and in times of peril. It is those who have proven themselves to be true, and it is those who are living upright.

 

 وفى امولهم حق للسائل والمحروم

51:19 And in their wealth was the Divinely ordained right of those who ask and those who are deprived.

 

ما ويسلونك ماذا ينفقون قل العفو كذلك يبين الله لكم الءايت لعلكم تتفكرون

2:219  And they ask you what they should give. Say, "All that is surplus." Thus God makes His messages plain for you, that you may reflect.

 

 وهو الذى انشا جنت معروشت وغير معروشت والنخل والزرع مختلفا اكله والزيتون والرمان متشبها وغير متشبه كلوا من ثمره اذا اثمر وءاتوا حقه يوم حصاده ولا تسرفوا انه لا يحب المسرفين

6:141 He is the One Who creates bounties for you, such as gardens that are cultivated, greens that are wild, palm trees of various kinds, crops in diversity, olives and pomegranates, fruits that are similar and diverse. Enjoy them, but give Him His Right on the Day of the Harvest. And waste not the bounty of God. Surely, He does not love the wasteful.

 

 

 

23. Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment. Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.  Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.  Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests:

21:94 Whoever works for the good of others and protecting them, his efforts will never be rejected. Indeed, We are recording it for him.

 من قبل صلوة الفجر وحين تضعون ثيابكم من الظهيرة ومن بعد صلوة العشاء ثلث عورت لكم

24:58 Before you engage in your assignments at dawn, at noon when you are resting with light clothes, and after you have completed your assignments at night. These are three private times for you.

 تجرى من تحتهم الانهر

7:43 Rivers will flow beneath them.

 

 لكن الذين اتقوا ربهم لهم غرف من فوقها غرف مبنية تجرى من تحتها الانهر وعد الله لا يخلف الله الميعاد

39:20 But those who are mindful of their Lord, for them are lofty and honorable mansions built for them with rivers flowing beneath. This is God's promise. Never does God fail His promise.

 

 ثم كلى من كل الثمرت فاسلكى سبل ربك ذللا يخرج من بطونها شراب مختلف الونه فيه شفاء للناس ان فى ذلك لءاية لقوم يتفكرون

 واذا مرضت فهو يشفين

 والولدت يرضعن اولدهن حولين كاملين لمن اراد ان يتم الرضاعة وعلى المولود له رزقهن وكسوتهن بالمعروف لا تكلف نفس الا وسعها لا تضار ولدة بولدها ولا مولود له بولده وعلى الوارث مثل ذلك فان ارادا فصالا عن تراض منهما وتشاور فلا جناح عليهما وان اردتم ان تسترضعوا اولدكم فلا جناح عليكم اذا سلمتم ما ءاتيتم بالمعروف واتقوا الله واعلموا ان الله بما تعملون بصير

2:233 If the (divorced) mothers wish to nurse their infants, the father shall provide for the mother's sustenance and clothing equitably up to two years of nursing. No human being shall be burdened with more than he or she is well able to bear. No mother shall be made to suffer because of her child, nor shall a father be made to suffer because of his child. If the father dies, his heir will assume these responsibilities. If both parents decide with mutual consent, there shall be nothing wrong in entrusting your children to foster-mothers. There shall be nothing wrong if you ensure, in a fair manner, the safety of the child you are handing over. Be mindful of God and know that God is Seer of all that you do.

Standing, sitting, and reclining, they reflect upon the wonders of creation in the skies and earth, saying, "Our Lord! You have not created all this without purpose. glory to You! Save us, then, from (being negligent in attaining knowledge and thus from) the doom of the fire."

 

 وسخر لكم ما فى السموت وما فى الارض جميعا منه ان فى ذلك لءايت لقوم يتفكرون

45:13 And He has made subservient to you, from Himself, all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Therein, are signs for people who reflect.

 ومن ءايته خلق السموت والارض واختلف السنتكم والونكم ان فى ذلك لءايت للعلمين

30:22 And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colors. Herein are signs for those who make best use of what they learn.

34:13 They worked for him as he desired, making forts, statues, sculptures, paintings and images, pools, and boilers well-dug into the ground. We said, "Labor O Children of David, in gratitude for what you have been given. Few of My servants are truly grateful in practice."

 

 زين للناس حب الشهوت من النساء والبنين والقنطير المقنطرة من الذهب والفضة والخيل المسومة والانعم والحرث ذلك متع الحيوة الدنيا والله عنده حسن الماب

3:14 Beautiful for mankind is love of the joys that come from women and children, heaps of gold and silver, branded horses, cattle and well-tilled land. These are comforts of the life of the world. God! With Him is a more excellent abode.

3:110 (Since you have been empowered by the Qur'an), you are the best suited Community that has been raised up for the good of mankind. You shall enjoin the Right and discourage the Wrong, since you have conviction in God. Now if the People of the scripture had attained this kind of belief, it would have been for their own good. Some of them do embrace belief, while most of them continue to drift away.

 

 فلولا كان من القرون من قبلكم اولوا بقية ينهون عن الفساد فى الارض الا قليلا ممن انجينا منهم واتبع الذين ظلموا ما اترفوا فيه وكانوا مجرمين  وما كان ربك ليهلك القرى بظلم واهلها مصلحون

11:116-117 But, Alas! Among the generations before your time, only a few were virtuous enough to discourage disorder in the land. We saved those few, whereas those who continued to violate human rights only pursued material riches. And they were guilty of stealing the fruit of others' labor (and they were requited). Your Lord never destroys a community for wrong beliefs alone as long as its people are reformers, setting right their own, and one another's condition.

 

 واما الذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت فيوفيهم اجورهم والله لا يحب الظلمين

3:57 And those who choose to believe and work for the betterment of the society, He will pay their wages in full. But God does not love the violators of human rights.

 

 ولقد اهلكنا القرون من قبلكم لما ظلموا وجاءتهم رسلهم بالبينت وما كانوا ليومنوا كذلك نجزى القوم المجرمين  ثم جعلنكم خلئف فى الارض من بعدهم لننظر كيف تعملون

10:13 We annihilated many communities before you for their violation of human rights. Their messengers had come to them with clear evidence of the truth, but they refused to believe them. Thus We reward those who steal the fruit of others' labor. Now We have made you their successors in the land, to see how you behave.

 

  واورثنا القوم الذين كانوا يستضعفون مشرق الارض ومغربها التى بركنا فيها

7:137 We made the oppressed people inherit the east and the west of the land that We had blessed with abundant provision.

 

 ونريد ان نمن على الذين استضعفوا فى الارض ونجعلهم ائمة ونجعلهم الورثين

28:5 But it was Our Will to bestow favor to those who were oppressed in the land, and to make them leaders, and to make them inheritors.
