Abstract

The concept of Human Rights in the perspective of modern Islamic law according to Abdullah Ahmed An-Naim emphasizes the importance of prioritizing humanitarian values ​​as a central part of Islamic law. An-Naim proposes that Islamic law needs to undergo a comprehensive reconstruction to remain in line with the development of the times without losing its Islamic elements. According to him, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a very important tool to maintain the dignity, honor, and rights of all individuals throughout the world. An-Naim also encourages the elimination of all forms of violence and emphasizes the importance of recognizing humans as subjects that must be valued and respected, as well as providing sufficient space for human rights values ​​in public contexts and rejecting the application of sharia as an oppressive state law, but rather as a moral guideline that is more flexible and appropriate to the conditions of today's society.
