No matter, what kind of right it is, it is not forgiven unless that person himself forgives. Regarding the rights of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, it is obvious that there could be no one else other than Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ who can forgive. It is stated in the Glorious Quran: ﴾ ﴿ وَ مَنۡ یَّغۡفِرُ الذُّنُوۡبَ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ   ‘And who will forgive sins except Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ And for the rights of people, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has applied this law that there is no forgiveness until that person himself forgives others. As Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is the Owner of our life, possession, property and even our rights, so, if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, without our consent, forgives others our rights then still it is also an absolute justice and rightfulness because we ourselves belong to Him and our rights also established by Him. If Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ had not sanctified our blood, possessions, honour etc., then, no matter, how brazenly and badly anybody would violate our rights and he would not have been accountable for that violation and injustice  caused to us. Similarly, if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ wants, He can forgive others our rights, because He is the true Creator but it is His mercy that He has given the power of our rights in our hands and left no room of repentance without seeking our forgiveness so that no oppressed man may not claim for his right saying: O my Creator! I am deprived of my right. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 24, pp. 460)

Hell for those who violate rights

Dear Islamic brothers! It is of great importance to fulfil the rights of the people and showing negligence in this regard is a cause of great loss in this world and in the Hereafter. The great religion of Islam strongly motivates us to fulfil the rights of people. Whether it is a king or minister, rich or poor, master or slave, all have been made to stand in one row and if the rights of any Muslim has been proven over any other Muslim, it also commanded to fulfil his rights. But alas! Today, heedlessness has prevailed everywhere. As the majority of the Muslims look oblivious and heedless of the rights of    Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, trampling on the rights of the people has also become increasingly widespread in our society. Many Muslims, without any fear of the consequences, are busy violating the rights of other Muslims by committing crimes such as inflicting cruelty, stealing mobiles etc., demanding a ransom by threatening, occupying other’s property, usurping loans, stealing, robbing, killing etc., even
