In Islam, given the Quranic principles and goals, citizenship rightsand stability and security parameters are considered within the framework of the global citizen as the vicegerent of Allah on the earth. Benefiting from the blessings received from God, such a citizen committed to the establishment of the theistic community governed by the Divine and human values.
