Hilf al-Fudul

Principles and Objectives

The Hilf al-Fudul espoused values that resonated deeply with the tenets of justice and equity. It established a framework for collective action against injustices, effectively functioning as a social contract among its members. The objectives were unequivocal: to guarantee the dignity and rights of all individuals, particularly the marginalized, and to aspire toward a just society. This ideal mirrored the teachings of the Quran, which emphasizes fairness and equity in human interactions.
