Here's an example of a "God given" right.
John 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
God gave people who believe on Jesus the right to become children of God. Only God can bestow this privilege so it differs from other rights in that respect.
If you are asking this because of the other question about owning guns, that "right" isn't found in the Bible, it's just an expression that people adapt from the Declaration of Independence where it says that our Creator gave us the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I am not a scholar but I will try to answer some of your questions, although truthfully it does not seem as if you are looking for the truth but someone to take your anger out on. Allah (swt) is the SAME God that was in the Bible- the ONE true God who created the Heavens and the Earth. Allah is Arabic for God...The Koran has never ever been changed and the original copies are still found. Islam is the only religion that can claim that. It has never once been changed like the Bible has been (countless times) so take it with a grain of salt. Yes, both Jesus (pbuh) and other prophets are Muslim because a muslim is basically anyone or thing that submits to the will of God as the prophets did. You REALLY need to check into some stuff before you come out so defensive and aggressive about something you do not understand. There are many places on the internet that you can find out about Islam at. I'll just say that the Bible you have is Not considered the original gospel that Muslims go by as your book has been changed so many times it is not funny. Nobody is saying that you cannot worship how you want. It is none of anyone's business how you choose to worship. That is all on you. Muslims respect other's beliefs. It seems you have alot of anger and hatred inside you. I hope you find the answers and peace of mind you need. Peace

There are no god given rights. There are rights you are born with, but they are not god given. Humans have come up with those rights through centuries of putting up with brutal monarchs.

There are no "other rights." So, what would be a "right" that is given by God?

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Revelation 22:14

a right that it's impossible to take away with normal means. example: freedom of thought and opinion; you may not be able to voice it, but no one can stop your from thinking if you don't want to (short of having brain damage).
rights to be tempted with murder however, are not God given.

We have a right to be loved and to love.....everything else positive is a derivative of that love, that's how they differ.
Peace, Love, and Blessings
