Study Notes

Rights in Islam

The concept of rights in Islam is divided into the rights of God (Haqq Allah) and the rights of men (Haqq al-Ibad).
The Quran emphasizes the importance of fulfilling both types of rights.

Rights of God

The rights of God pertain to obligations due directly to Allah, such as worship and adherence to divine commands.
Examples of the rights of God include:
- Acts of devotion and religious observance (e.g. daily prayers, fasting, giving Zakat, and performing Hajj)
- Perfect punishments (e.g. punishments for theft and adultery outlined in the Quran)
- Imperfect punishments (e.g. discretionary penalties decided by a judge)
- Atonement and expiations (e.g. fasting, charity, or extra prayers to seek forgiveness for sins)
- Imposts and religious taxes (e.g. Zakat and other charitable acts)
- Independent rights (e.g. Tawheed, belief in the oneness of God, and following the divine law)

Rights of Men

The rights of men involve interactions and duties towards other humans.
Examples of the rights of men include:
- Fulfilling obligations towards others, such as being good to others and resolving disputes privately

Balancing Rights

In certain cases, the rights of God and the rights of men overlap, but public rights take precedence.
In other cases, individual rights are emphasized over public rights, especially in personal matters.
The Quran and Hadith provide guidance on balancing individual and public rights in various situations.
