The Innate Rights According To Islamic Laws – Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen
The Innate Rights According To Islamic Law
Verily from the beauty of Allah’s legislation is that justice is established, and everything is given its rights, without excessiveness or neglect. For indeed Allah has ordered that there be justice, kindness, and assisting of the relatives. Due to justice the messengers were sent, the books were revealed, and the affairs of the worldly life and hereafter were established. Justice is giving everything its right and putting everything in its proper place, and this will not be accomplished except by knowing the rights so that they will be observed. Therefore, we have written this speech as an important explanation of these rights, so that the slave (of Allah) may do that which he knows from them according to the best of his ability, and this has been summarized in the following.
1. The rights of Allah 2. The rights of the Prophet (sallahu allahi wasallam) 3. The rights of the parents 4. The rights of the children 5. The rights of the relatives 6. The rights of the spouses 7. The rights of the leaders and their subjects 8. The rights of the neighbors 9. The rights of the Muslims in general 10. The rights of the non- Muslims
The Grave : Its Torment And Its Pleasure (Authentic statements)
The Grave : Its Torment And Its Pleasure
It is related that Abu Hurairah said: “We were walking with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) when we passed two graves. Then he stood still and we stood with him. His color started to change and he rolled up his sleeves, so we said: ‘What’s the matter, oh Prophet of Allah?’, he said: ‘Don’t you hear what I’m hearing?’ We said: ‘What is it, oh Prophet of Allah?’ He said: ‘These two men are being severely punished in their graves for a relatively minir sin.” We said: ‘For what are they punished, oh Prophet of Allah?’ He said: ‘One of them never used to clean urine from himself, and the other used to harm the people by his speech and walk amongst the people carrying tales.’
So he called for two palm stalks and he put one into each grave. We said: ‘Will this benefit them oh Messenger of Allah?’ He replied: ‘Yes, it will lighten their punishment for as long as it remains moist.'”
Reported by Abu Hatim (3/106) in “Al-Ihsan”.
And Sheikh Muqbil declared it as “good” in “Al-Jami’ As-Sahih mimma laisa fi As-Sahihain” (2/278-279).
