Abstract

The right to work and education occupies a prominent place in the legal and political systems of all peoples. Islam has been concerned with these rights and recognized them for individuals since its inception before they were recognized by these systems. Whilst the United Nations has paid great attention to its economic and social activities, and there is no complete definition of social rights. Its system varies from one political community to another, and where social and economic disparities exist among its strata, the State tries to recognize a number of social and economic rights To liberate such classes of humiliation and slavery and to secure their lives against unemployment, ignorance and disease, and to raise class exploitation and to create decent work, healthy atmosphere and a high standard of living for all members of society.
