Abstract
Islam provides guidance for every human being starting from spiritual, social, political to his education. These principles are embodied in five basic tenets of Islam, such as Shahadah (Declaration of faith in Islam), Salah (Prayer), Saum (Fasting), Zakat (Alms giving) & Haj (Annual Pilgrimage to Makkah). The combine effect of these pillars of Islam reveals the true purpose of a human being’s life, which is to worship his Creator (Almighty Allah) & complete devotion to Him. It is in pursuance to this Commands of Almighty Allah and to follow the footsteps of the Holy Prophet (SAW), particularly with respect to performance of Hajj, Umrah that a Muslim specifically the serving class of the government departments, faces various problems availing sufficient leaves in this regard as the Competent Authority due to silence of the relevant provisions of laws into the ESTA Code. This situation results mostly in violation of the guaranteed fundamental rights of freedom to profess religion of such an individual and of his entire family members. This article addresses the religious reghts of a govt. servant and muslim citizen of the Islamic republic of Pakistan specifically related with Hajj, Umrah, and Ziyarat leaves.
