These rights are resulted by the struggle of different human societies. In 2003 Byrne Darren stated that “the in alienable and indivisible right held by all are the basic standards of justice. Without justice and equality people cannot live with dignity. Human rights are a set of individual and collective rights that have been formally promoted and protected by international and domestic law since the UN Declaration of human rights in 1948. Islam gave human rights as early as the fourteenth century. In Islam one tries to remain subservient in total submission to the creator, the ever living one true God (Allah). The true guidance in life can only come from Holy Qur’an and the Qur’an has the answers to change the tears of the world into smiles. In the Qur’an women is raised to a status of a dignified human being.
