    Throughout history, equality had been sought between people. Religions were utilized as a regulator to protect Human Rights. In this case, it can be considered that Islam as a basis of Human Rights is complicated because Koran which is also a foundation of moral and religious norms and is static, therefore Islamic laws are practically impossible to develop and alter according to new time conditions, because its commands are sacred. It states that a person has the right to freedom of speech, thought, action, work and the most significant thing for life, and that his life must be safe, that every effort should be made to protect it. Despite of this fact, human rights in the Islamic world are frequently violated from the aspect of women’s rights. The state is responsible apparatus which provides protection against women, but there is no visible achievement yet, the only slight progress can be seen at the age of marriage in Pakistan and Yemen. In general, the state continues to support the situation that exists in this kind of countries. Therefore, this paper will analyze Islamic rules as a part of Human Rights and its implementation in Muslim countries in the contemporary century.
