Abstract
Although the origins of the idea of universal human rights can be traced back to the teachings of monotheistic religions and the ideas of natural rights philosophers, including Stoic philosophers, it was not until the twentieth century that the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) was adopted. From human rights to a dominant discourse and a sensitive issue among philosophers and legal and political experts, it was discussed from different angles. The fact is that in the drafting and approval of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, unfortunately, its religious and doctrinal aspects were not addressed. Thus, with the domination of liberal and secular thinking, the declaration became non-religious and non-religious. On the other hand, Muslim countries, which at that time were predominantly colonial, were not involved in the process of drafting and ratifying the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Thus, since 1948, when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted, it has been severely criticized and opposed by religious scholars and the intellectual and political elites of Islamic societies. The present article, written in a descriptive and analytical manner, deals with the views of Allameh Mohammad Taghi Jafari on Islamic human rights and compares it with the human rights of the West.
