Basic Human Rights should be given the most significant and most important place in a Human Society. According to the teachings of all holy Prophets (May peace be upon them all), all human beings are the offspring of a single couple - Hazrat Adam May peace be upon him), and Hazrat Eve (May peace be upon her). They are equal in the eyes of their Creator, Almighty God (Allah in Arabic). They must be given the basic Rights in all societies, irrespective of their color, creed, country, religion etc. There should be no discrimination on the basis of such factors.
