There is no universal understanding concerning human being and various <br />schools  of  thought  have  presented  different  views  toward  human <br />being based on their belief presumptions. Consequently, human rights <br />can be studied based on the kind of the viewpoints toward human <br />being. Although the human rights have always been clarified based on <br />the  approved  principles  and  norms,  there  is  no  universal <br />understanding in this regard. The materialistic schools, which have a <br />limited background concerning the issue of the human rights in their <br />society,  try  to  globalize  their  reading  of  this  concept,  and  they <br />reproach the others who do not follow this western reading. <br />Beyond the western view, the religion of Islam, which has a long history in <br />considering the human rights, provides a comprehensive view based <br />on  human’s  material  and  spiritual  needs  and  makes  appropriate <br />recommendations to this end, which naturally differ from the western <br />human rights. Considering the most basic components of the human <br />rights, such as the human dignity, freedom, the right to life, the rights <br />of women and respect for the beliefs of others, Islam has provided <br />solutions for considering the human rights based on recognition of the <br />human needs as stated in the religious instructions. Although, Islam <br />has a similar reading about these elements as the western reading, it <br />suggests different solutions for their realization.
