Abstract
The right to basic necessaries is considered as one of the
primordial Human Rights. It received almost universal
recognition by all societies and people of all creeds. The religion
of Islam, and sayings and conduct of its Messenger (SAW) lay
great emphasis on the development of this idea of right to basic
necessaries and its provision. There is no denial to the fact that
one cannot survive without basic necessaries of life. It is the
reason that Islam being a natural way of life has not ignored this
important aspect of life, rather has ensured its provision. Even a
cursory glance at the contents of the Islamic ideology indicates
that the Quran and the Sunnah have dealt in depth with nearly
every aspect of right to basic necessaries, in order to make
Man’s life valuable and dignified. The present study investigates
the concept of Basic Necessaries to life and its various
dimensions in the light of Quran, Sunnah, practice of the
Companions of the Messenger and views of the jurists in Islam.
