Method of fulfilling the rights of people

Dear Islamic brothers! The better something is, the more efforts are made to obtain it. If Muslims fulfil the rights of people, it can improve their life in this world and in the Hereafter, and if they show negligence towards this then it may ruin their lives in this world and in the Hereafter. Therefore, every sane person is aware of its importance. How do we develop the habit of fulfilling the rights of people? Let’s listen to some methods in this regard:

Seek knowledge of the rights!

1.         Firstly, one will have to seek knowledge of the rights of people. Without correct information, it is quite impossible to act upon this properly. Alas! As the majority of people are unaware of the rights of people, therefore, fulfilling their rights is also a distant dream. For detailed information about the rights of people, read Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 2, pp. 262 to 789, a publication of Maktaba-tul-Madinah ‘Walidayn, Zawjayn aur Asatizah kay Huqooq’, the booklet of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ ‘Zulm ka Anjam’, a booklet of Maktaba-tul-Madinah ‘Tazkirah Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat (Episode 6)’ ‘Huqooq-ul-‘Ibaad ki Ihtiyatayn’. A study of these books will be very productive and beneficial for you.

Always think positive

2.         Instead of occupying the mind with negative and evil thinking, fill it with positive thoughts and good qualities.

It is quoted that a man went to Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ to complain about his wife. Upon reaching the door, he heard a conversation of the blessed wife of the Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, he then returned saying that, our Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen himself is facing this problem. Later, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ sent for him and asked the reason of his arrival and leaving. He narrated the entire incident. Upon listening to him, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: Due to few rights of the wife I forgive her.
