To what extent relativism speak for our rights in the realm
of religion on Islam:
A debate about universalism and
relativism has gradually built up from time when UDHR was declared in 1948. The
religious representative is one of the speakers of this debate. They argue that
UDHR is influenced by the western cultural norms. It violates the religious norms
often. It is secular in nature.
There are
more reasons for such debate. At the moral level, the dimensions of human rights
have never been as uniform and definite as they are in international law. A gap
between two particular groups in the major cause of such debate. One group
tends to be relatively secular and universalist in its approach to human
rights. To this group belong intellectuals and professionals familiar with
international law and the major independent human rights groups and
organizations. The other group consists of clerics and religious leaders
familiar with their own cultural traditions but typically not well-versed in
international law and human rights.
Islam has
common relative nature that it does not interference in a person to practice
his religion or to receive a particular ideology but there is no chance to
leave Islam after receiving it willingly.
Islam declares
prohibition on alcohol but the people of other religions can take alcohol and Islam
does not interfere in it.
Present
types of human rights speak about the equal rights of both the male and the
female but Islam says that they have particular status other than the equal
status because of their natural and bodily differences.
Islam give
the opportunity to both the male and female to earn money (economic right) which
is common in present human rights concept but it makes male person responsible
for the financial necessity of his family.
