Human Rights in theLight of the Aims of Islamic Government

One of the features of Islamic government, which distinguishes it from other political governments, is the aims and ends according to which Islamic government is formed. The present paper investigates human rights in the light of the aims of Islamic government, using a theoretical-analytical approach. Considering the long-term, medium-term, and short-term aims of Islamic government, the author proves that the nature of Islamic government is completely human-rights oriented, and that achievement of the stated threefold aims chiefly depends on the achievement of the transcendent human rights.
