This article explores the Islamic framework for labor rights, emphasizing ethical treatment, compassion, and justice in employer-employee relationships. Drawing from the Qur'an, Hadith, and scholarly interpretations, it highlights the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) teachings on fair treatment of workers, including timely wage payment, leniency towards mistakes, and recognition of labor dignity. The study underscores the importance of integrating these principles into contemporary labor policies to promote social justice and economic fairness. By aligning modern labor practices with Islamic ethical guidelines, the article advocates for a more humane and equitable workplace.
