Islamic source of human rights is one of the most basic sources. Throughout the paper researchers tried to focus on the basic aspects of human rights along with the three generation rights. Islam has fairly mentioned about Human Rights that, Islam is interrelated with humanity through Islamic Sharia. Universal Declaration of Human Rights has a great significance in recent times because it is the first document of human rights together. Right to life, right to freedom, right to justice, equality of human beings has been interpreted with the law of human rights. Human rights have also been resembled with Bangladesh legal system and it includes the law of crimes, Code of Civil Procedure, Code of Criminal Procedure and Constitutional law as well. Without the law of human rights it might not be possible to protect our human dignity and human life as well. The researchers also tried to explore the parallels between Islamic principles and Bangladesh's legislative framework regarding human rights, and to provide actionable recommendations for policymakers to integrate these principles effectively into policy-making processes, ensuring a harmonious alignment between religious values and legal norms.
