The History of Human Rights Compilation in Islam
At the initial years of the descending of the Holy Qur\’an verses, the compilation of human rights in Islam began. The depletion of issues bearing on human rights was compiled in divine verses prepared by the Hakim. Hence we may relate the compilation of human rights in Islam to the second decade of the 1st century A.H. or the second half of the 7th century A.D. In contrast to the literature of human rights in the West, the Qur\’an is one of the oldest documents on human rights.
The World Assembly of Shiite Studies was established in 2003 (1382 AH) by a group of scholars from seminaries and universities. The purpose of founding this independent academic institution was to introduce the school of Shi‘ism and defend its legitimacy through education, research, translation and publication, communications, and Islamic promotion. This center has continued its mission with strength and determination and envisions a bright future ahead.
