Item Disability Rights from Islamic Law Perspective(Department of Islamic Law, Al-Hikmah University Ilorin., 2023-06) Imam-Tamim, M.K.; Shomope, A.This paper explores the rights and dignified treatment of persons with disabilities from the standpoint of Islamic teachings. Grounded in the Qur’an, Hadith, and the jurisprudential tradition, the study emphasizes that Islam upholds all individuals' inherent dignity, equality, and spiritual worth, including those with physical, mental, or sensory impairments. It highlights Islamic principles of compassion, inclusion, and social responsibility, asserting that disabilities are not a basis for discrimination but a test for both the individual and society. The paper critically examines societal attitudes, legal protections, and practical accommodations within the Islamic framework, advocating for an environment where persons with disabilities can thrive in religious, educational, and social spheres. It concludes by calling for increased awareness and the integration of Islamic values into contemporary disability rights discourse.
