For all those who attempts to find similarity in modern conception of human rights, and that of Islam. Also for all those who expects a this modern conception to respect their rights defined by their religion. What we need to understand is, the foundation of this modern conception of human rights is grounded in human rationality which rejects anything unless it is rationally and empirically verified to have a worldly benefit. This approach toward knowledge is limited as not everything, particularly in the domain of social sciences cannot be explained completely through rational and empirical analysis. Religious doctrines focus on the same social domains of life and provides a methodology with rewards in hereafter for those who comply. This doesn't make any sense from the rational perspective, and the claims about hereafter cannot be tested empirically. Therefore it is senseless to accept this modern way of thinking to understand the standards of religion. Those who will do so, will only get furstrated.
