There are well-established public and

private rights in the Islamic society. In the

section below we will highlight the most

important public and private rights in the

Islamic law and teachings:

RIGHTS

AND OBLIGATIONS

IN ISLAM

01 Rights of Almighty God

02 Rights of the Prophet Muhammad ����

03 Rights of other Prophets and Messengers

04 Rights of Parents

05 Rights of Husband towards His Wife

06 Rights of Wife towards Her Husband

07 Rights of Children

08 Rights of Relatives

The essential right of man towards God is

to worship Him alone, setting up no rivals

or partners with Him, nor attributing any

sons or daughters to Him. The eternal truth

of all existence is that LA ILAHA ILLAALLAH:

"there is nothing worthy of being

worshipped except God," meaning that

there is no so-called "god", deity, or entity

worthy of worship and absolute obedience

except for the One Creator. This is the

testimony of faith of a Muslim that involves

the following requirements:

1. God alone deserves to be worshiped

and obeyed in an absolute sense. None

has the right to be worshiped along

with or besides Him. All statements,

acts and hidden intentions must agree

with what the Almighty has designated.

All actions of man must be performed

for the Pleasure of the Almighty.

2. A Muslim is required to believe in the

Names and Attributes that God has

given Himself, or those attributed to Him

through revelation by His Prophet and

Messenger ����. No one may attribute any

name or quality to God by speculation

that neither God nor His Prophet and

Messenger have attributed to Him. He

must not offer any undue explanation,

similitude thereof, or express an opinion

concerning these Names and Attributes

of God. God the Exalted says in the

"There is nothing like unto Him, and He is

the All-Hearer, the All-Seer." 42:11]

3. Man must submit himself to God,

in faith with total and sincere belief,

declaring with his tongue, accepting

with his heart and showing with his

actions the truth of the statement that

"So know, O Muhammad], that there is

no deity except Allah and ask forgiveness

for your sin and for the believing men and

believing women. And Allah knows of your

movement and your resting place." 47:19]

4. Human beings are obligated to give

full and total submission to the Will of

God. This is based on the instruction

is not for a believing man or a believing

woman, when Allah and His Messenger

have decided a matter, that they should

thereafter] have any choice about their

affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and

His Messenger has certainly strayed

into clear error." 33:36]
