1. Rights of Islam

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

All praise to Allah who has honoured us by saying in His Book: Indeed Allah commands you to restore to their owners the trusts (deposited with you) and to judge justly if you (ever) judge among men. (4:58)Salutation and blessings on His Messenger, our master, Muhammad, who warned us by his saying: He who has done wrong to his brother in the matter of his dignity, wealth, should free himself there from today, before there is no Dinarn or any Dirham, i.e. on the Day of Judgment. Salutation and blessings also on his household and Companions who joined every branch to its roots.

It has been established by way of tradition as well reason that we have been called upon todischarge some rights, some of which are due to Allah and some to His servants. Of the rights dueto the servants some concern religion and some this worldly life. Rights concerning the worldly lifeare also diverse, e.g., those due to near relatives, other relatives, particular persons, Muslims ingeneral, elders and youngers, equals and so on ands o forth.

Some men are either totally ignorant of these rights and obligations or are deliberately unmindful of them. Hence, this brief pamphlet forgeneral information and benefit. Qazi Sanaullah’spamphlet entitled “Haqeeqat-ul-lslam, as referredto by me in the Furu-ul-lslam, was considered quite sufficient on this topic. The entitled pamphlet ‘Aadaab-i-Zindagi’ is a short summary of ‘Haqeeqat-ul-lslam’ with certain additions here and there. This pamphlet in hand is entitled “Huquq-ul-lslam”. It contains a few chapters, each dealing with a particular category of rights.
