“…100 It seems the rejectionist approach in a wider context not only reinforces the charges of anti-human rights which some hawkish western thinkers like Samuel Huntington make against Islam, i.e. Islamic civilization is inherently opposed to human rights 101 , but also inadvertently approves oppressive policies in some Muslim countries which are governed by despotic regimes and not accountable systems of governments.…”

The concept of human rights as embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights indisputably is a western construct. Since Muslim states at the official plane have committed themselves to its tenets by being signatory to it as members of the United Nations, their afterthought has triggered a debate among the academia about its harmonization with the Islamic notion of human rights. Some reject it in its entirety, others advocate its adoption even at the expense of some Islamic core values and yet another body of opinion sees it in total conformity with Islam. This paper argues that all the above perspectives in spite of their merits miss one important point, namely addressing the issue in the context of Muslim-nation-states interacting with the community of nations with their own specific value systems. Accordingly, the harmonization in line with the legitimate Islamic methodology is the real alternative which this presentation endeavours to articulate.

Sejak negara-negara Islam yang rasmi telah bertekad diri kepada rukunnya dengan menjadi penandatangan kepadanya sebagai ahli United Nations, renungan mereka telah mencetuskan perbahasan antara akademi mengenai harmonisasinya dengan konsep hak asasi manusia dalam Islam. Sesetengah menolak cadangan itu secara keseluruhannya, yang lain menyokong perlaksanaannya walaupun perlu mengorbankan beberapa nilai-nilai teras Islam dan satu lagi badan berpendapat ia selaras dengan Islam. Karya ini berpendapat bahawa semua perspektif yang tertera di atas di sebalik merit, mereka terlepas satu perkara penting, iaitu menangani isu ini dalam konteks Islam-negara-bangsa yaitu 1 The paper is a part of FRGS research output done through Contemporary Fiqh Unit, IRKHS in 2013.Professor, Department of Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh, International Islamic University Malaysia.
