Rights of Minorities under Islam
Shahnawaz Ahmed Malik
Published : Dec. 30, 2017
Abstract
The Islam is very clear that Minorities should be treated equally by the
State which follows Islam. Fundamental rights are available to the Minorities in
Islamic territories. Besides it, they are having certain special rights for the
protection of their culture and religion. They have full right to profess and practice
religion or faith of their choice. The State will be duty bound to protect their place
of worship. They will be protected from all types of violence and aggression. The
Quranic injunctions and prophetic traditions guarantee a society, where all citizens
of the state enjoy equal rights irrespective of their religion.
