Rights of Non-Muslims

Many rights arise out of relationship among persons on sharing the same religion of Islam. In the same way some rights arise out of being members of the species, viz., humanity. In other words a Muslim has to admit and recognise the rights of his fellow man although he may not be a Muslim. Such rights are:

1. No harm should be done to the life or property of any human being without a cause or justification.
2. Bad language should not be used in conversation with anyone without a sufficient cause which is permissible in the Shari’ah.
3. To help a non-Muslim with food, drink and medical treatment, if he is in distress, hungry or suffering from some disease.
4. If he deserves some punishment under the law of the Shari’ah no excess should be committed in that punishment nor should he be tortured.
