Islam and Human Rights...

HOW DOES ISLAM GUARANTEE HUMAN RIGHTS?

Freedom of conscience is laid down by the Qur'an itself:
There is no compulsion in religion (2:256)

The life and property of all citizens in an Islamic state are considered sacred whether a person is Muslim or not. Racism is incomprehensible to Muslims, for the Qur'an speaks of human equality in the following terms: made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one
another. Truly, the most honored of you in God's sight is the greatest (49:13)
