Abstract
Undoubtedly, it cannot be denied rights of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) preserved and protected under Islamic and Legal perspectives. Islam sees the disability as morally neutral and given equal preservation just like any other human being. Ensuring their inclusiveness can help achieve global goals, realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by, for, and with PWDs. Building on the principle of "leaving no one behind," the new Agenda emphasizes a holistic approach to achieving sustainable development for all (United Nations, 2016). This research examined the rights of PWDs according to Islamic and legal perspectives. This study uses the PRISMA methodology and two electronic databases from SCOPUS and HeinOnline systematically searched for papers or articles relating to Islam and disabilities, legal perspective, and the rights of PWDs over the period 2010 until 2020. The data collected was analyzed and recorded in the PRISMA flow chart. The result shows that 54 articles showed from the searching on both databases. However, only 28 journal articles were selected and analyzed after the final filter in the qualitative and quantitative synthesis. Ten interesting articles were chosen for discussion on the Islamic and legal perspectives on the rights of PWDs. Hopefully, this research will provide a useful overview and discussion of the systematic analysis of PWD rights from Islamic and legal perspectives using PRISMA methodology, as well as serve as a reference for other researchers and academics.

Summary
Rosmawati (2008) defines Persons with Disabilities or known as (PWDs) as a person who has problems with the limitations of mobilization (movement), either physical (body), mental (light, medium or heavy), sight, and hearing. Wan Sabri et al (2013) define PWDs as a person with differences in terms of neurological characteristics, sensory capacity, communication ability, behaviour and emotion, and physical characteristics. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) recognizes that 'disability is an evolving concept'. The term “persons with disabilities” are used to apply to all persons with disabilities, including those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various attitudinal and environmental barriers, hinders their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others (UNCRPD, 2006). Disabilities may be visible or invisible, and onset can be at birth, during childhood, working-age years, or old age
