Abstract

The issue of copyright may have existed since the beginning of time in some other form or name. A person who keeps track of this issue will find it deeply rooted in the history of Islamic civilization. Although Muslims long ago did not use the term copyright, they were aware of the crux of this issue. Our forefathers, may Allah have mercy on them, knew many concepts related to intellectual property and intellectual production from an early time. They have set many rules and regulations governing this type of property to ensure the preservation of intellectual production and protection of the guidance of the book of Allah, and the teachings of His Messenger (peace be upon him). Through this study, the researcher wanted to highlight these concepts, rules and regulations related to intellectual property, especially in the field of author rights, and compare them with the WTO Agreements in this regard.
