Comparing the principles of protecting women’s rights from the perspective of Islamic human rights and Western human rights

Among the basic themes that have been highlighted in human societies across different religious and ethnic groups until now is the issue of “women’s rights and character”. The status and character of women in each society’s culture reflects the importance and dignity of women in that society. With the advent of Islam, the dignity of women as human beings was restored, and women were elevated to half-humanity alongside men. The humanist school of Islam, whose laws have originated from revelation, has given women great dignity by considering all the rights and characteristics of women as well as taking a comprehensive attitude; But unfortunately, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights paid less attention to the spiritual aspects of human beings, especially women, and more to material aspects instead. this study intends to use a mixed method, with the help of library tools and questionnaires, to answer this key question: “What are the theoretical and fundamental differences between the rights of women from an Islamic human rights perspective and the Declaration of Human Rights?” The results of this study, conducted in Tehran in 1401 on women with a sample size of 384, show that Islamic human rights, with the help of Quranic verses and Islam, include all material and spiritual aspects of women’s dignity and has made religious thought the basis of its theory - contrary to Western human rights, which base their thinking on a secular basis for women’s rights. Analysis of the questionnaire confirms the claim that supporting women’s rights from the perspective of Islamic human rights has had a direct impact on the status of women in Islamic countries, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran
