Abstract :

  Humane rights are a continuum of natural rights that All human beings have it because they are human. The creators of global statements of human rights, have arranged the articles of humane rights and have passed them by the united nations general convention. There are various points about human rights in Islamic sources.. In this article,, the Nahj-ul-balaghe is used in order to obtain human rights of Imam Ali (peace be upon him); in which we can find the principals and understandings of humane rights and the way if its application. In this research, we try to use the descriptive-analytical method based on the book of Nahj al-Balaghah to Compare Imam Ali's (as) human rights perspective with articles on human rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The result of this comparison and study is that there are some similarities in these two resources but because of difference in rights reference of each one, there are some differences in some of the rights. The objective of this research is to match the humane rights statements of Nahj-ulBalaghe with mentioned rights and grants in the statement articles, so as to illuminate the weaknesses and strength of this statement.
