'''Rights of Minorities''' (in Persian: '''[[:fa:حقوق_اقلیت‌ها_(کتاب)|حقوق اقلیت‌ها]]''') is the title of a book by [[Abbasali Amid Zanjani]] in the field of [[Political Fiqh]], which examines the [[rights of religious minorities]] within the framework of Islamic jurisprudence and international law. By historically examining the status of minorities in different eras, the author explains the concept of contractual citizenship in Islam and introduces the dhimma contract as a pact for peaceful coexistence between Muslims and non-Muslims.

In this book, while emphasizing the principle of peace and the necessity of fulfilling covenants in Islam, the jurisprudential rulings of the dhimma contract, its pillars and conditions, and the obligations of the contracting parties are examined. Citing Islamic sources, the author shows that the dhimma contract is a type of bilateral pact with specific conditions, wherein minorities pay the jizya in exchange for services provided by the Islamic state (neither as punishment nor humiliation); services such as security of life, [[religious freedom]], and judicial independence. From a jurisprudential perspective, concluding this contract is solely within the authority of the legitimate religious ruler and is conditional upon observing Islamic standards, such as not violating sovereignty or promoting vice.
