Abstract
Since Islam, as the final divine religion, proclaims its laws as consistent with the innate nature of man, the idea of natural rights in Islam is not a strange legal thought. A large number of Muslim thinkers have contributed to the foundation of a legal school other than the ancient Greek and Roman schools. This school is as old as the legal thought of human beings. The present article deals with the principle of the consistency of legal rights in Islam with the basic rights of man based on the school of natural rights. One of the essential problems here is the anterior position of law compared to rights. This attempt is to discover the natural law and the Islamic logic and interpretation of the same toward founding a comprehensive and universal legal system for man. Thus, we would be able to prove the finality of the religion of Islam and the comprehensiveness of the teachings of this religion.
