The impact of respect for human beings on Islamic law

Human beings have been created with the attribute of generosity and are considered superior to other living creatures. Generosity is an attribute that arises from the mere fact of being human, without distinctions based on religion, race, sect, and so on. It is an inherent quality that is present in all human beings and cannot be eliminated. The possession of the attribute of generosity by humans has also found its reflection in the legal principles of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh). This study aims to identify the legal implications of the respect accorded to humans. This study comprises an introduction and three main sections. The introduction provides an overview of the subject, its scope, objectives, significance, and the methodology employed. The first section discusses the conceptual framework surrounding the topic and evaluates it within the framework of evidence found in the field of Islamic jurisprudential principles (fiqh usul). In the second section, the topic and examples are mentioned in the context of acts of worship (ibadat), transactions (muamalat), Islamic criminal law, Islamic inheritance law, and Islamic family law. In the third section, contemporary issues related to the respect for humans are addressed. The conclusion section provides an analysis of the data obtained. Keywords: Human, Respect, Dignity, Honor, Fiqh.
