Islamic philanthropy and UNHCR
UNHCR recognizes the long Islamic and Arab tradition of according the asylum-seeker dignity and respect. This tradition was established long before modern refugee and international law.
The Holy Qur’an instructs Muslims to give protection to those who need it.
“And (remember) when We made the house a place of return for mankind and a place of security.”
[Al-Baqara:125]
