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.
