The program brought ten scholars and activists together to explore the relationship between human rights and Islam with the objective of helping people within Islamic societies promote and protect human rights from an Islamic perspective. The book begins with a foreword by Prof. Abdullahi An Na'im Director of Program which explicates the idea and approach of the program and the ten studies. The articles in the collection are divided into three categories.
