| dc.description.abstract | There is no gainsaying that Adam Abdullah Al-Ilorī was a scholar and a prolific Muslim writer whose works have been studied at different educational levels. A unique feature of this scholar is that even though, a Nigerian, his literary works in the Arabic language exceed matters of Islamic theology to political and social issues. His work titled Huqūqu'l-'Insān bayna 'Adyāni's-Samā'i wa Qawānīni'z- Zamān, which is being studied is one of the many works of Al-Ilorī on political matters. The work discusses the origin and development of human rights in the realm of religion and the contemporary legal document. Using a combination of historical, descriptive and analytical research methods, this work studied the approach of Al-Ilorī to fundamental human rights. The findings of the work revealed that the author is very much familiar with international issues. However, the title of the work depicts a study of human rights in the heavenly religions but the study concentrated on provisions contained in the Qur'an among the heavenly revealed books. It is observed that the book would have been more focused if it studies human rights from the perspectives of Islam and the constitution of Nigeria. | |
