Abstract: (30 Views) |
| The rights of future generations are part of the discussions on intergenerational justice, which dictates that divine blessings inherited by the current generation from previous generations should be passed down to future generations, allowing each generation to benefit from divine blessings. This means that nature and the resources within it belong to all humans and all generations, and they have been created to meet their needs. There is no reason to claim that divine blessings are exclusively for the current generation or that they have superiority over future generations. The narratives of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) contain important teachings in this regard, emphasizing that what exists in the heavens and on the earth belongs to all humans across all eras. These narratives, in addition to addressing the current generation (the living), also include future generations (the nonexistent) and stress the necessity of safeguarding the rights of future generations and divine blessings. They encourage humanity not only to focus on spiritual matters but also to uphold the rights of future generations, setting out principles and guidelines for the protection of these rights. |
