Book: The Approach to Human Civilization in the Qur'an: Shaykh Ramadan Al Bouti - Mahdi Lock ( Translator). Rabata Cultural Center & Book Shop  https://bookshop.rabata.org/

This book was translated from Arabic entitled "Manhaj al-Hadharah al-Insaniah fi al-Qur'an". It contains – perhaps for the first time – the study of a comprehensive Qur'anic structure for a unique social education that can promote the establishment of a sound, stable civilizational rebirth. It also contains – again for the first time – an inquiry into the foundations of knowledge and its point of departure in the Qur'an, which most people have neglected until today. This book, with all of the above that it contains, is placed in front of those who say, ‘We have looked and we have not found a comprehensive educational theory in the Qur'an.’

Article: 

The human and his dignity in the thought of Dr. Muhammad Saeed Ramadan Al-Bouti: Ismail Jalal, Muhammad Mawlood Mata:University of Sulaymaniyah/ College of Islamic Sciences Section/ Islamic Studies: Journal of Garmian University: https://jgu.garmian.edu.krd/article_158269.html?lang=en

Abstract:This research includes a quick look at Dr. Muhammad Saeed Ramadan Al-Bouti's vision of man through his educational thought, and a statement that man occupies an important place in the universe, and that he is charged with an important job in it, which is the job of applying divine justice that God has drawn for man. And that, according to Islamic law, man is an honorable creature, God Almighty created him in the best manner, took care of him with inspiration and education, provided him with intellect and heart, and prepared him for the honor of his succession on earth.
Human dignity is not just a theoretical right, but its impact extends to the human being, his belief and his civilization, as it makes him a master in the universe, a dear one who does not accept humiliation and insult and is not based on it, and it helps him to build and build civilizations. In Islamic law, man has various rights, including the right to political freedom, freedom of opinion and behavior, and the right to equality in the economic and political aspect.
The research is divided into three sections, the first of which is about Dr. Al-Bouti's view of man as an individual, the second topic is about human equality in Islamic law, and the third topic is about the human function in Dr. Al-Bouti's thought.
