What a human being is in Islam and what the basic human rights are in Islam was the main themes of this research. It was necessary for it to read and understand the meanings of passages related to these themes in Qur'an, which needed support from the experts in this field in Islamic world in Syria, and to exchange the views and opinions of the scholar who represents the present Islam world.

The result of the this research will be published by the book, "Human being and the Human rights in Islam" (temporary)" from Keio University Press in September. Less
