Muslim world and modern political asylum law, a study

Abstract

If someone in your country is persecuting you because your religion, creed, political group, race or nation is disliked by another group If someone in your country is following you because your religion, creed, political group, race or nation is something that any other group dislikes. Or you may have political asylum if you have ideas that could lead to persecution. The whole world especially Muslims are facing now a huge conflict and forced migrants due to their government policies. The conflict between government policies and nationals are being grow day by day. Therefore, Asylum and “refuge-seeking” are two important themes in International and Islamic history and Law. Often, Islamic theory and teachings relating to refugees and forced displacement are known as Hijrat/Migration law. It is quite different from modern refugee law. It arguably gives more protection to asylum-seekers and refugees (mustaminun). However, Hijrat law is rarely referred to or invoked today. If they were taken into consideration, it could contribute greatly to the protection of the forcibly displaced. It might also reduce the numerous problems refugees all over the globe are facing. This paper discusses the basic laws and configuration of migrants and their political asylum and rules of different Muslims.
