Thoughts of the western world that developed so far is very concerned with the individual, consequently the human mindset is more focused on the rights rather than the obligations. Western thinkers seem to be more heavily influenced by the ideals of individualism, so that human rights become more important or central to their obligations.
Nearly every time people talk about human rights while the human obligations themselves are forgotten or under-noticed. People argue that fighting for rights is more important than their obligations, even we often hear around our guitars, schools, offices or wherever people are more demanding their rights than prioritizing their obligations. These are all impacts of individualism that are intrinsically concerned with the individual and his rights.
If these secular western ideas are so concerned with human rights and subordinate their obligations. Islam actually supports and menselarakan relationship between rights and obligations. Does the human rights stand by itself without being supported by its obligations? let's see or and we discuss together

  1. The balance between rights and obligations
    Alqur`an which is the holy book of Islam Surah: 5 56 God implicitly states that the essence of the jinn and humans are created to assume duties, their most important duty is to worship God. Given the above verse should the man should talk first about his obligations. After the manusai fulfill his duty then talk about his rights. And if the obligations have been fulfilled then by itself he will get his rights.
    One of the hallmarks of Islamic law is to give to every human obligations its first and foremost task. Unlike the western law that prioritizes one's rights. In Islam the right arises after the obligation is settled. Islamic law has outlined
  2. Human rights
    The term of human rights since the birth of the Declarations of Human Rights on 10 December 1948 became popular. But far beyond that there have been several charter which essentially contains the principle of human freedom. Virginia also proclaimed this with the Bill of Rights around 1776. In 1789 was born Declarations Of Independence in the United States. Pda in 1989 in France has been born the declarations of rights of men and citizenship as a work of constituents in france. The birth of the charter was due to absolute power which at that time belonged to the ruler. So the rights of human rights are not at all indicated.
    There is a great difference between human rights in view from the point of view of westerners and Islam. The rights of human rights according to western people are merely anthropocentric, meaning that everything is human-centered. Thus humans are very important. While the human rights seen from Islam is theocentric, meaning that everything is centered on god. Thus God is very important.
    The theocentric meaning is none other than that the first man must first believe the teachings in the Islamic essence formulated in the sentence of two creeds, that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger. Only then can man hope to do good deeds.
    At first glance when people do not examine further, as if in Islam is not a human right. But if you want to understand and put the issue of human rights on the proportion, must be conclusions obtained. Nothing else is the fact that between human rights and Islamic law intertwine suatau very closely with its own distinctive feature of theocentric.
    Human rights in Islam not merely emphasize human rights alone, but they are grounded by fundamental obligations to (primarily) serve merely to God as their creator. When we study the principles formulated in the universal declaration of human rights and compare the general declaration of human rights with the teachings of Islam. In al-qur`an and sunnah rasul these human principles are:
  3. Human dignity
  4. The principle of equation
  5. The principle of freedom of expression
  6. The principle of freedom of religion
  7. The right to social security
  8. The right to property
