Treatise on Rights (Risālat al-Ḥuqūq) by Imam ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn is a timeless reflection on justice, duty, and human dignity by one of the most respected figures in Islamic history. This powerful text outlines a holistic framework of rights and responsibilities that remains deeply relevant in today's complex moral and legal landscape.
This new edition, which includes translations into English and Persian alongside the original Arabic text, makes the Treatise accessible to a broader global audience. It offers a rare opportunity to engage with this influential work in its original language and two widely spoken languages in the Muslim world, encompassing both Sunni and Shia communities.
To contextualize the Treatise on Rights, the edition features an introduction by Dr. Ahmed E. Souaiaia-a renowned scholar of human rights, political philosophy, and classical and modern Islamic thought. In this essay, Professor Souaiaia presents a compelling call to reconsider how we think about human rights. Drawing on over two decades of interdisciplinary research, he demonstrates that Islamic traditions have long articulated a sophisticated understanding of human rights-an understanding grounded in the broader environments and relationships that shape human life. This perspective is only recently being acknowledged by modern human rights theorists, in response to ongoing abuses and the failure of current systems to prevent harm to all beings.
This trilingual edition invites readers to rediscover the Treatise on Rights as a living document-one that continues to inform and inspire contemporary conversations on ethics, justice, and human responsibility.
