| ISLAMIC DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS |
| PREAMBLE |
| Whereas recognition to the inherent dignity of the equal and in alien able rights of all members of the human family is the Islamic foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. |
| Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people according to the orders of almighty Allah in holy book of Quran and the Sunnah (examples) of prophet. |
| Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations and brotherhood between the Muslim world and countries of the O.I.C. |
| Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedom is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge. |
| Now, therefore The NGO's From O.I.C Countries Proclaims |
| This Islamic Declaration of Human Rights |
| As a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations to the end that every individual and every organ of Islamic society, keeping this declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of O.I.C states. |
| ONENESS OF ALLAH |
| I bear witness that there is no god but "ALLAH" the One, having no partner with "HIM" His is the sovereignty and to him is due all praise."ALLAH" grants life and causes death and is powerful over every thing. |
| FINALITY OF PROPHET HOOD |
| O people, no prophet would be raised after me and no new Ummah would be formed after you and no book will come after Quran. |
| PILLARS OF ISLAM |
| Behold! Worship your lord; offer prayers five times a day; observe fast in the month of Ramadan; pay readily the Zakat (poor-due on your property; and perform pilgrimage to the house of Allah (Kabah) and obey your ?Rulers? and you will be admitted to the paradise of your lord. |
| ETERNAL GUIDANCE |
| O people' understand my words which, I convey to you. I leave behind me two things one Holy Book of "QURAN" and second my examples "SUNNAH" and if you will follow these you will never go astray. |
| OBEDIENCE TO THE RULERS |
| O people, listen and obey, though a mangled Abyssinian slave is appointed your Ameer (ruler) provided he executes (the ordinance of) the book of Allah among you and you should obey his orders as nation. |
| HUMAN DIGNITY |
| O people, verily your blood, your property and your honour are sacred and in violable until you appear before your lord. Verily you will soon meet your lord and you will be held answerable able for your actions. |
| HUMAN EQUALITY |
| Allah says: O people we created you from one male and female and made you into tribes and nations, so as to be known to one another verily in the sight of Allah, most honoured amongst you is the one who is most god-fearing. All mankind is the progeny of Adam and Adam was fashioned out of clay. Behold ! every claim of privilege whether that of blood or property is under my heels except that of the custody of the Kabah and supplying of water to the pilgrims. |
| RIGHTS OF WOMEN |
| O people, verily you have got certain rights over your women and your women have certain rights over you. |
| It is your right upon them to honour their conjugal rights, and not to commit acts of Impropriety, which if they do. You are authorized by Allah to separate them from your beds and chastise them, but not severely, and if they refrain from them, clothe and feed them properly. Treat the women kindly, since they are your helpers and are not in a position to manage their affairs themselves. Fear Allah concerning women, for verily you have taken them on the security of Allah and have made their persons lawful unto you by words of Allah |
| INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTABILITY |
| Beware, no one committing a crime is responsible for it but himself. Neither the son is responsible for the crime of his father, nor the father is responsible for the crime of his son, and all are equal before the law. |
| BROTHERHOOD |
| O people, every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, and all the Muslims from one brotherhood. Take heed not to go astray after me, and strike one another necks. He who (amongst you) has any trust with him, he must return it to its owner. |
| HONESTY |
| O people! nothing of his brother is lawful for a Muslim except what he himself gives willingly, so do not wrong your selves. |
| ABOLITION OF BLOOD REVENGES |
| Be hold ! all practice of the day of ignorance are now under my feet the blood revenges of the days of ignorance are remitted. O people, killing of human beings with the intention of blood revenge is Haram (prohibited) by the order of your lord, like this day, this place and this month, if anybody will commit this crime, he shall be an inmate of hell. |
| ABOLITION OF INTEREST |
| O people, All interest and usurious dues recurring from the times of ignorance stand wiped out and by the order of Allah giving and taking interest on all king of loans or money is prohibited in Islam from today. |
| REPAYMENT OF DEBTS |
| O people, all debts must be repaid, all borrowed property must be returned, gifts should be reciprocated and a surety must make good the loss to the assured |
| ADULTERY |
| The child belongs to the marriage-bed and the violator of wedlock shall be stoned. And reckoning of their (deeds) rests with Allah. He who attributes his ancestry to other than his father, the curse of Allah is upon him. |
| BEQUEST |
| O people, Allah. The mighty and, exalted, has ordained to every one his due share (of inheritance). Hence there is no need (of special) testament for heir (departing from the rules laid down by the Shariat). |
| PREACHING ISLAM |
| END OF MISSION |
| O people! and if you were asked about me, what would you say ? |
| People answered; |
| We bear witness, you (prophet have conveyed the trust (of religion) and discharged the message and looked to our welfare. |
| There upon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ifted his fore finger towards the sky and then pointing towards the people said, |
| O Lord: Bear thou witness unto it. |
