Overview

Book DescriptionMinority Rights in the Light of the Farewell Sermon: A Comprehensive Analytical Study by Dr. Shahbaz Khan is a groundbreaking academic work that offers a profound and original exploration of minority rights through the ethical and legal framework of Islamic teachings. In an era marked by rising global tensions, identity conflicts, and persistent inequalities, the question of minority rights has become more urgent than ever. This book responds to that urgency by revisiting one of the most significant declarations in human history-the Farewell Sermon of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)-and presenting it as a timeless charter of justice, equality, and human dignity. Combining rigorous scholarship with a fresh analytical perspective, the author examines the Qur'anic foundations of human rights, the Prophetic teachings on justice and coexistence, and the contributions of classical Islamic jurists. The study demonstrates that minority rights are not a modern construct imposed upon Islam, but an integral and deeply rooted component of its moral and legal system. The book further engages with contemporary global challenges, including religious intolerance, political marginalization, economic inequality, and Islamophobia. It critically evaluates modern human rights frameworks and highlights their limitations, particularly their lack of a strong moral foundation. In response, it proposes a comprehensive and dynamic model based on the higher objectives of Islamic law (Maqasid al-Shari'ah), offering practical and policy-oriented solutions for inclusive and just societies. Written in a clear yet scholarly style, this work bridges the gap between classical Islamic thought and modern human rights discourse. It is an essential resource for researchers, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of religion, law, and human rights. Key Features of the Book A unique analytical study of the Farewell Sermon as a human rights charter Integration of Qur'anic principles, Hadith, and classical jurisprudence Critical engagement with modern human rights discourse Policy-oriented recommendations for contemporary societies A multidisciplinary approach combining theology, law, and social analysis Why This Book MattersThis book presents a powerful argument that sustainable solutions to minority rights challenges require more than legal frameworks-they require a strong ethical foundation.
