Topic 10 | Equal citizenship

Equal citizenship is the political manifestation of the moral principle of human dignity. It refers to the idea that all citizens should be equal in status and rights, without regard to their religious identity or other identity differences. In 2016, 300 Islamic scholars and leaders issued the Marrakesh Declaration, a consensus document that affirms equal citizenship as an Islamic principle and a framework principle for constitutional governance in Muslim-majority countries.
