The study of religious freedom for minorities has various aspects, such as legal, human rights, sociological, cultural, and religious aspects. Unfortunately, efforts to find solutions to protect religious freedom for minority groups have not made adequate use of the religious perspective, particularly Islamic. This research paper aims to fill the gap by analyzing and interpreting the active efforts of young cave dwellers described in the Qur’ān as a minority group. For this purpose, it used the qualitative descriptive approach based on the thematic interpretation of the Qur’ān. The study covered the story of young cave dwellers as narrated in the Qur’ān in al-Kahf 18:9-26. The story was analyzed in terms of its narrative context, storyline, similarities with other similar stories, and other crucial aspects. It was found that young cave dwellers actively fought for religious freedom by combining firmness in faith and positive adaptation in interacting with the society. The story teaches us that religious freedom depends not only on the willingness of the majority group and the state but also on the proactive efforts of the minority group in behaving and acting on the diversity of religious views that surround them. For this reason, this paper contributes to provide conceptual solutions to the struggle of minority groups to fight for religious freedom amid religious diversity and views of life.

In spite of the commitment of the international community to the protection of human rights, equality before the law still remains a global problem. This research focuses on the problem of discrimination as a worldwide issue imposed on society. The aim of this research is to present a global perspective on the current threat of discrimination as a paradigm shift from equality before the law as a universal principle articulated in Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is the principal human rights instrument. A normative research method is used in this work with extensive theoretical approach. In this method, secondary data like journal articles, books and international conventions are used to support the basis of this research. This research finds that, for some time now, democracy experiences setback by different factors such governance in the forms of autocracy, and unconstitutional change of governments through of coup d' état. The impact of discrimination on equality before the law as a rule of law in modern governance is as topical as it is ever destructive. Women also have made significant progress in many areas over time in places where discrimination is low, including closing some gender gaps. The load of adversity is shared between men and women in our troubled world in a very unequal manner, nevertheless.

“…Such issues emerged discernibly over the research project led by Rosie Campbell in 2021 (Campbell and Bolet 2022). This study randomly assigned e-mails from different kinds of fictitious constituents to UK Members of Parliament (MPs), using a method pioneered in the USA by Butler, Broockman and others (Butler and Broockman 2011;Butler and Nickerson 2011;Butler 2014), and widely applied in many other jurisdictions (McClendon 2016;Vries, Dinas, and Solaz 2016;Habel and Birch 2019;Crawfurd and Ramli 2021). The difference to other studies was the requirement by the university's Research Ethics Committee to carry out a debriefing after the experiment had taken place.…”

Experiments on the responsiveness of elected officials highlight the tension between the freedom to carry out research and the right of subjects to be treated with respect. Controversy emerges from the power of politicians to block or object to experimental designs using identity deception. One way to resolve this conundrum is to consult citizens who, as constituents of politicians, have an interest in promoting the accountability of elected representatives. Building on the work of Desposato and Naurin and Öhberg, this survey experiment presented research designs to UK citizens for their evaluation. The findings show that citizens strongly approve of experimental research on Members of Parliament (MPs) and are glad to see their representatives participate. There are no differences in support whether designs use identity deception, debriefing, confederates or pre-agreement from MPs. Linked to high interest in politics, more citizens are glad their MPs participate in studies using identity deception than those deploying confederates.
