My Rights Are Divine

A Closer Look at Children’S Rights in the Muslim Arab World

Child abuse can be curbed in the Muslim Arab World, since preventive measures are really in our hands. They are actually a part of a binding force that impacts almost each and every step we take in life; that force is simply Islam: our religion, which does not only define our relationship with God (Allah) Almighty but is also in actuality a way of life. This book makes the argument that a culture in which true or authentic Islamic values are rightly implemented measures up to being one that safeguards and recognizes the rights granted to children by no one other than their merciful and gracious creator Allah. It also proposes a practical framework that explains the types of measures, cultural changes, and structural modifications needed to be implemented to combat child abuse in the Muslim Arab World, with all the religious, cultural, and social specificities of it as a region.
