Verily Allah commands you to fulfill trust (rights) to its recipients, and when you judge between people then judge with justice” Al- Qur'aan
“Whoever has oppressed his brother should repay it before the Day (of Qiyaamah) even if it be a Dinaar or a Dirham.” [Hadith]
All praise is due to Allah, who honoured us in His Book with these words; “Verily Allah commands you to fulfill trust (rights) to its recipients and when you judge between people then judge with justice', and salutations (Salaat) and peace (Salaam) be upon His Messenger, our leader Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), who made us aware with his words; “Whoever has oppressed his brother should repay ft before the Day of Qiyaamah) even if it be a Dinaar or Dirham (rand or cent)”, and upon his family and companions who fulfilled what they were commanded by Allah and upon the Ulama of his Ummah.
It is apparent that we as believers have been ordained to fulfill certain rights. Some of these rights of Islam pertain to Allah Ta'ala and some to His servants. As concerns the rights of the servants of Allah, some are Deeni (religious) while others are Dunyawi (worldly) obligations. The worldly rights include that of close relatives, neighbours, colleagues, friends, Elders, the young and of all Muslims in general.
It has become predominant that due to lack of knowledge we blatantly disregard these rights, or that we are neglectful in fulfilling these rights. For this reason it was envisaged that a concise booklet should be written in which these rights are discussed. It is hoped that this will lnsha-Allah be beneficial to all of us. This book has been divided into several sub-divisions, each of which deals with a particular topic under discussion.
