Preface
Islam, true Christianity, true Judaism and all other known and unknown divine religions are from the same source: Allah , the Almighty , Who inspired and revealed these religions throughout the history of mankind in order to establish peace, law , justice and ethnics upon Earth.
He , the Almighty assigned man as a vicegerent on Earth , not the angel. He, the Almighty blessed man with a very peculiar nature. Man may commits sins, but shortly after repents, often returning to his Lord, Allah , the Almighty , seeking His Mercy , Forgiveness and Blessings. That is one nature of man. As for the other nature, man is blessed with innocent, clean, honest and tender heart that leads him to obey His Lord, Allah ,the Almighty , worship Him sincerely and seek His blessings and guidance.
Allah , the Almighty , revealed His Divine Laws for man. These Laws fulfill the various and versatile needs of man on earth. They help preserve human race , protect the environment , support the truth and fight evil wherever it might be, and regardless of its source.
Man, therefore is in deep need to know and maintain the essential right of life. Some of the major rights that man should know , recognize and assure throughout his life are summed up as follows:
ط The right of His Creator , Allah , the Almighty
ط The rights of the prophet , the guide and the teacher who deliverd the Message of Allah, the Almighty
طThe rights of the birth parents.
ط The rights of the birth children
ط The rights of the relatives and kith and kin
ط The rights of both , the husband and the wife
ط The rights of neighbors
ط The rights of fellow Muslims and
ط . The rights of non Muslims, fellow citizens

Introduction
By: Abdullah bin Jar-Allah Al-Jar-Allah
All praise is due to Allah , the Almighty , and I bear witness openly that there is no deity worthy of worship but Him Alone. I do also bear witness openly that Mohammed is His slave servant and Messenger .P.B.U.H , and May Allah , the Almighty , be blessed with all his rightly guided companions and progeny.
It is indeed one of the most important item in the life to know what rights man has, and what obligations one is obliged to do towards His Creator, Allah , the Almighty, and towards his fellow man as well . It is equally important to observe these rights in practical life , maintain them fully. This booklet, in spite of it’s relatively small size , does focus on these rights and introduce them properly and precisely to the Muslim readers all over the world , and also to those who are either eager to learn about essential matters in Islam , or interested to know what Islam is all about . Amy Allah , the Almighty , reward the writer of the booklet who attempted throughout his work to explain , shed light and introduce these rights in a straight forward fashion.
The most important right of all these rights is right of Allah , the Almighty , to love Him , fear Him , hope from Him , obey Him by doing all of the aforementioned acts in accordance to what He , the Almighty, commanded , and avoid all what He banned and condemned. Also , by liking and caring for those who like Him , the Almighty, and obey Him . Likewise , by disliking and shunning away from those who disliked Him and disobeyed His commands.
The second most important right is the right of the prophet , P.B.U.H . One should express his observation to his rights by loving the prophet , obeying his commands , following his teachings, avoiding at any cost , any intentional and deliberate disobedience to his Sunnah , practical teachings practice , emulating him and considering him the first and the foremost example who set actions and practices the are best for man to follow and live and by attempting very seriously to remember him in all phases , stages and situation of life P.B.U.H
Then one must recognize the right of his relatives upon him. This right must be professed by doing good to these relatives, establishing a good rapport with them, visiting them, caring for them, associating closely and decently with them, etc. At the top of this list must be the parents. One must be extremely kind, helpful , obedient , caring and avoiding all matters that they dislike or upset them as long as they do not demand an act of disobedience to Allah , the Almighty,. One of the most essential things that man should do to fulfill this main right of his parents is to pray for them by supplication and sincere invocation, during their life and after death as well. Next to the parent’s right comes the right of the children, which must be expressed by offering them the right education, upbringing, discipline and teaching them good manners. Next to this right is the mutual right of spouses: husband and wife, which expressed by caring, loving, assisting, cooperation and full support when the other is right and is on the right track as well.
Next to these rights is the right of the neighbors which is expressed statements and actions alike. Then comes the right of the general Muslims such as : greetings them whether you know them or do not . visiting the ill or sick ones , saying: “Bless you “ to the persons who sneezes , accepting an invitation from them ( provided the invitation is lawful , clean and it has no intention to displease Alaah , the Almighty or His prophet ,P.B.U.H) , advising them , supporting the one who has been unfairly or unjustly treated , attending the funerals of the deceased , liking for them generally what one likes for himself and disliking for them what one hates or dislikes for his own , and to commended to do good and stop the evil acts.
All quoted verses from the glorious Quran and Hadith , statements of the prophet , P.B.U.H , are properly attributed to their sources . I do pray Allah , the Almighty, to cause people to benefit from this work , increase the reward and blessing to author and also to reward and bless those who read it with attention to apply it unto their own practical life and benefit from it.
May Allah’s peace and blessing be upon our beloved prophet, his family and progeny and unto all those who follows his clear path until the day of Judgment
Amin.
