RIGHTS OF REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS IN ISLAM

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to answer the following questions: do asylum seekers and refugees have any rights according to the teachings of Islam, what are those rights and what is the contemporary situation? Study then makes a comparison between rights of asylum seekers and refugees in Islamic law and international law. It is obvious that Muslims are today the largest refugees, their numbers increase day by day, and the majority of them are in an unenviable position. This harsh reality implies that the majority of refugees do not enjoy their rights in many countries. This is mostly because of the fact that the states disregard the realization of their obligations upon the refugees, as well as the ignorance of these rights by refugees and asylum seekers. Those rights are guaranteed to refugees and asylum seekers in both Islamic teachings and in international human rights and documents. In order for the to study yield the expected results, it was necessary to explore the notion of exile in the Qur'an and Sunnah, as well as in the international law, the kind of refuge in the classical period, the causes of displacement in the Islamic and international law, the rights of refugees and the cessation of refugee status in the Islamic and international law.
