عزيزي أسامة، أشكرك على تنزيل المادة كاملة.. في الحقيقة أنا هممت بذلك ولكن التحذير بحقوق الطبع جعلني أتوخى الحذر، ولكن عندما رأيتك تنقلها، قلت لنفسي: أهو لو حيجوا يغرموا، حيغرموا أسامة البدا بالنقل وليس أنا، الناقل من ناقل.. "أنا أمزح طبعاً" ولكن أرجو ألا يكون عملنا هذا غير قانوني، فبتاعين النشر ديل ما معروفين خاصة أن العقوبة غير محددة، لكن الحمد لله أنه لن يكون فيها بتر لليد من مفصل الكف!! لكن برضو الغرامة دي شيتن ما عندنا ليهو جزلان تخين.. المهم سأثبت الجزء المهم من الموضوع ريثما أعود بالإجابة والتعليق على أسئلتك.. ياسر
Islam and Human Rights To be clear on the point, in raising this question I am not suggesting that Islam is either fully supportive or inherently antagonistic to human rights. Rather, as indicated earlier, the relationship is open to engagement and transformation precisely because it is contingent on an interactive web of internal and external factors and forces. Like other major religious and cultural traditions, Islam 9 An-Naim: ‘The Best of Times’ and ‘the Worst of Times’: Human Agency and Hu Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2004 10 provides a basis for upholding human rights and dignity through its own account of what it means to be human. But these dimensions of the Islamic traditions (in the plural) should be seen as open to critical reflection and reformulation among the believers themselves, because of the inherent and permanent diversity of the tradition itself. There are not only similarities as well as variations in perceptions and practices of human rights and dignity among Muslims and Islamic societies, but also possibilities of change in relevant attitudes and practices. By the same token, however, outcomes can either be positive or negative from a human rights perspective. The human rights framework is commonly perceived to be a universal secular vision of what it means to be human, and a call for the urgency and necessity of protecting the innate rights of all human beings everywhere in the world. The mistaken view that this perception of human rights has nothing to do with the Islamic traditions, if not actually being contrary to them, is largely due to the fact that the present articulation of the human rights framework arose out of the experiences of Western societies. To suggest that human rights are ‘Western’ is a contradiction in terms, because that means they cannot be universal, which is their essential quality as the equal rights of all human beings. That is, these rights have to belong to all cultural and religious, including Islamic, traditions if they are to be human rights at all. Moreover, these rights are needed by Muslims for protection against abuses and excesses of the powers of the state that gave rise to Western articulations of these rights. Since the same model of European territorial-state has become ‘universalized’ through colonialism, and remains the dominant form of political organization throughout the world, the human rights framework that has evolved in response to that reality is now equally relevant everywhere. However, while I believe that this view ‘ought’ to be generally accepted and acted upon as one of the main foundations of the universality of human rights, it is also clear that this is not the case at present. A common objection in my experience is how can the human rights framework claim to be universally valid and applicable without taking into account the permanent and profound cultural and religious diversity of human societies around the world. But to me the question is how can we Muslims, together with all other societies, make this happen, instead of complaining that it is not done by others for us. My own approach would therefore emphasize a proactive process for promoting consensus around the concept and content of human rights through the human agency of all actors, rather than expect it to emerge on its own. In relation to the subject of this article in particular, the process also includes ‘negotiating’ the complex and contingent relationship between Islam and human rights, as it plays out in each social context. I have attempted to elaborate a specific methodology from an Islamic perspective, especially in Toward an Islamic Reformation (1990), but 10 Muslim World Journal of Human Rights Vol. 1 [2004], No. 1, Article 5 http://www.bepress.com/mwjhr/vol1/iss1/art5 11 would also consider any alternative approach that can effectively address the following parameters of that process of negotiation. First, some elements of the historical Islamic traditions, like other major religious traditions, are not readily consistent with the key human rights principle of non-discrimination, especially regarding the rights of women and non- Muslims. This difficulty is compounded by the common perception that these aspects of what is known as Shari`ah are inviolable because they are divinely ordained. This apparent incompatibility is emphasized by a perception of the human rights framework as necessarily and exclusively based on a secular universal vision of humanity. At the same time, this tension must be mediated because it is critical for the binding force and practical efficacy of human rights everywhere, and not only in Islamic societies, as noted earlier. With Muslims constituting a fifth of the total world population, excluding them from the universal validity and application of human rights would really undermine them everywhere. Since there is no reliable international mechanism for enforcing human rights standards against the will of national governments, human rights advocates need to motivate the general populations of territorial states to pressure their own government to ratify and enforce human rights treaties. The way this is done in various social, cultural and religious settings is relevant to what can happen in other societies. In Islamic societies, efforts to legitimize and effectuate human rights through social movements need to include effective responses to counter arguments that governments are likely to use in resisting such pressures which limit and constrain their own powers. The allegation that human rights are an anti-Islamic Western imposition is a clear example of this sort of pretext, used by ruling elite to escape responsibility for violating the rights of Muslims as well as non-Muslims. In other words, to mobilize public opinion and motivate civil society organizations in their own societies, human rights scholars and advocates in Islamic societies must understand how to transform the relationship between these rights and local cultures, political context, economic factors, and so forth. This process calls for the sort of questioning of deeply entrenched assumptions about Islam and Muslims, and challenging of social institutions and uprooting of political structures that is now facilitated by the current global environment as suggested at the beginning of this article. For instance, I believe that the dichotomy between the religious and secular is often exaggerated to suggest an inherent incompatibility of the two, though they are in fact interdependent. For example, Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the literal and final word of God, and Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet) is the second divinely inspired source of Islam. But both sources have no meaning and relevance in the daily lives of believers and their communities except through human understanding and behavior. The Qur’an was revealed in 11 An-Naim: ‘The Best of Times’ and ‘the Worst of Times’: Human Agency and Hu Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2004 12 Arabic, which is a human language that evolved in its own specific historical context, and many verses of the Qur’an were addressing specific situations in the daily lives of early Muslims at that time (610 to 632 CE) in their local context of western Arabia. Sunnah also had to respond to the immediate concerns arising in that context, in addition to broader matters. Thus, human agency was integral to the process of revelation, interpretation and daily practice from the very beginning of Islam, initially of the Prophet, and subsequently generations of Muslims who adhered to the Qur’an and Sunnah according to their own understanding in their respective historical context and daily experiences. It is therefore clear that a sharp distinction between the religious and secular is misleading. Religious precepts necessarily respond to the secular concerns, and have practical relevance only through their acceptance and application by the believers in their daily lives. In other words, religious doctrine is necessarily implicated in the secular, and the secular is perceived by believers to be regulated by religious doctrine. This does not mean that there is no transcendental dimension to Islam for believers. Rather, it is simply to say that the practical relevance and utility of the social order of Islam are contingent upon human understanding and practice, which testifies to its ability to provide for the practical needs of its adherents. This point is critical for the theological basis of the relationship between Islam and human rights today. In conclusion, these are the best of times and the worst of times for Muslims, with infinite possibilities in either direction, dependent on the way we all use or abuse our human agency. These are the worst of times as we continue to be the object of imperial aggression and neo-colonization, suffering with other peoples around the world the worst violations of our individual and collective human rights at the hands of our own governments and through the excesses of global capitalism. They are also the best of times because the present crises enable us to transcend the limitations of our traditional assumptions about Islam and Muslims, to challenge and transform our social and political institutions. The possibilities of human agency are infinite, and the rest is up to all of us, everywhere, and whatever our religious, ideological and/cultural affiliations may be.
