Human rights in the international arena are roughly a well-known concept that seemsto have passed the philosophical struggles over its foundations and embodied in thedispersed examples in actual international human rights documents. Thephilosophical foundations of human rights from the point of view of Islam,emphasizing the need to establish a link between “Is” and “Ought”, is completelydifferent from the West, and it is necessary to pay attention to both its material andspiritual aspects. The Cairo Declaration of 1990, as part of the Islamic Charter ofHuman Rights, despite efforts to include materials that reflect Islamic law, ispassively influenced by Western human rights patterns and does not reflect specificIslamic rights. The present article, through a descriptive-analytic method, and bymeans of content analysis, aims to illustrate the fundamental differences betweenIslam and the West in terms of human rights and to introduce an objective andaccessible model in this subject.
