Islamic Citizenship Rights and Maturity of Social and Cultural Thought Cultural Maturity of Citizens in the Evolution of Islamic Citizenship Rights

Islamic religion as the most perfect religion in the world contains numerous religious and applied doctrines in various social, cultural and religious fields. Islamic citizenship rights have also the highest rank among the religions and human schools and given the fact that the most striking feature of an Islamic society is the active participation of citizens in equal conditions with observation of their human dignity and the motive of nearness to God as the most reliable internal guarantee the question is raised that what basic relationship does exist between the cultural understanding in the evolution of laws and citizenship rights? Since the citizen of an Islamic society has a correct understanding of ethics and cultural principles of human dignity, respect to the fellow men and God-wariness which are effective in the promotion of the level of consciousness of the citizens ensure the continuation of collective life in Islamic society. This is indeed a good measure for knowing the right and the wrong. It is very likely that in this society the rights of every single citizen are correctly exercised in both cultural and social domains and even it can serve as a good example for other countries in international scene. Then, if the basic principles of Islam are seen as the criterion of the actions of the citizens in an Islamic society it is not an exaggeration to say that cultural maturity is an integral part of the Islamic citizenship right.
