''Human Rights in Islam'' is a 1976 book written by Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami. In the book, Maududi argues that respect for human rights has always been enshrined in Sharia law (indeed that the roots of these rights are to be found in Islamic doctrine)〔Maududi, ''Human Rights in Islam'', p. 10. "Islam has laid down some universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole ... ."〕 and criticises Western notions that there is an inherent contradiction between the two.〔Maududi, ''Human Right in Islam'', p. 13. "The people of the West have the habit of attributing every good thing to themselves and trying to prove that it is because of them that the world got this blessing ... ."〕 Western scholars have, for the most part, rejected Maududi's analysis. Bielefeldt (2000) characterises Maududi's argument as a "superficial and uncritical 'Islamization' of human rights" that fails to address tensions between human rights and shariah law.〔Bielefeldt (2000), p. 104.〕 In addition, he criticises Maududi for employing a narrow definition of equality that gives no consideration to what Bielefeldt considers "the two main issues over which traditional shariah and modern human rights collide": gender and religion.〔 Carle (2005) terms the book "influential", but echoes Bielefeldt's criticisms. ==See also== * Human rights in Islamic countries * Pact of Umar 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Human Rights in Islam (book)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
