Basically, human rights in Islam are centered on five main things which are summarized in al-dloruriyat al-khomsah or also called al-huquq al-insaniyah fi al-islam (human rights in Islam). This concept contains five main things that must be guarded by every individual, namely hifdzu al-din (respect for religious freedom), hifdzu al-mal (respect for property), hifdzu al-nafs wa al-'ird (respect for the soul, rights to life and individual honor) hifdzu al-'aql (respect for freedom of thought) and hifdzu al-nasl (the obligation to protect offspring). Every human being has basic (fundamental) rights that cannot be revoked and relinquished simply because of differences in race, skin color, religion, gender, language, politics, nationality, and other statuses.
