Al-Amin: Human Dignity Is Right Guaranteed to Every Individual, Must Be Preserved

Sayyed Ali Al-Amin, Member of the Muslim Council of Elders and Lebanese religious authority, affirmed that human dignity is a fundamental right granted by Allah to every individual. It is a right that must be preserved, protected, and deeply ingrained in human consciousness.

 He cited the following verse from the Glorious Quran: “And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference.” (17:70)

Speaking in the seventh episode of the program “Humanitarian Values with the Elders,” broadcast on the Muslim Council of Elders’ social media platforms during the holy month of Ramadan, Sayyed Ali Al-Amin emphasized that Allah has honored human beings simply for being human. Therefore, this dignity is a universal right that belongs to every person and is not exclusive to any particular group, nation, race, or community.

His Eminence further stated that respecting human dignity calls for greater solidarity and cooperation among people, ensuring that they distance themselves from conflict and division and truly fulfill their role as Allah’s stewards on Earth, spreading peace, fraternity, and dignity. He reiterated a key principle: “Love for others what you love for yourself, and dislike for others what you dislike for yourself.”

During the holy month of Ramadan, the Muslim Council of Elders’ social media platforms are broadcasting five special Ramadan programs, including “Al-Imam Al-Tayeb,” “One Ummah,” “Humanitarian Values with the Elders,” “Month of Harmonious Coexistence,” and “Our Ethics.” 

These programs are part of the Council’s media strategy aimed at utilizing all platforms to promote and strengthen the values of dialogue, peace, tolerance, and human coexistence.
