Islam endows with 'Human honor and Dignity' to all man and
woman and provides direction and guidelines to all mankind so
that they protect the rights of each other and admire the respect
and honor of humans. The focus of the present research is also to
demonstrate that protection of honor and dignity is a significant
objective of life. The denotation of 'honor' and 'dignity'
according to the Quranic and prophetic perspective is
emphasized in this research. In the preservation of human
personal honor, dignity and other rights, Shariah evidences from
Quran and Sīrah are explored with the perspective of
highlighting the emphasis on Shariah on this aspect of religion,
which is also one of the dimensions of Maqasid al-Shari‘a as well.
The paper concludes with the note that human beings should
endure the "best moral and ethical values" of mercy, faith,
compassion, justice, piety, and also with the fear of abusing one’s
honor and status in the society
