Importance of human rights

Praise be to God and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God and his family and his companions and those who follow them with charity until the Day of Judgment: but after that:

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي اتَّخَذْتُ عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا لَنْ تُخْلِفَنِيهِ، فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ سَبَبْتُهُ، أَوْ جَلَدْتُهُ، فَاجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ كَفَّارَةً لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: O Allah, I have taken a promise from You (the promise of acceptance of prayer) which You will never violate. To whomsoever I have said hurtful things, said bad words, or whipped him, let my actions be a cause of mercy, forgiveness, and expiation for that oppressed person on the Day of Resurrection.

Sayyid al-Anbiyyah Khatam al-Rasul (peace be upon him) has presented himself before Allah that if anyone has been wronged by me, I seek forgiveness from him.

In another hadith, you said at the beginning:

Muhammad does not get angry as people get angry, and I have made a covenant with you that you will not break it.

Surely, Muhammad is a human being, he gets angry just like a human being gets angry. O Allah, I have taken a promise from you, (the promise of acceptance of prayer) which you will never violate. To whomsoever I have said hurtful things, said bad words, or whipped him, let my actions be a cause of mercy, forgiveness, and expiation for that oppressed person on the Day of Resurrection.

In this blessed hadith, the importance of the rights of slaves has been explained. Islam demands two types of rights from humans, one is the rights of Allah and the rights of other creatures, the rights of Allah include prayer, fasting, Hajj, almsgiving, almsgiving, etc., while the rights of servants include the rights of humans and other creatures. Allah forgives his own rights, but the punishment of not paying the rights of the creation or abusing the creation can be forgiven only if he himself forgives the one who has been abused, and if he cannot meet or is possible. If not, the only way to do this is to seek forgiveness from Allah.

People abuse others every day, someone violates someone's rights, someone backbites someone, someone causes physical harm to someone, someone gives mental pain to someone, someone forgets by taking a loan, someone Harms an animal, tortures any living being for no reason, all these matters will be severely punished on the Day of Judgment. The Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: A woman tied up a cat, she She used to keep it tied up, did not feed it, that cat died in the same way, so Allah Ta'ala put her in hell as punishment for this crime. In another tradition, a person was going to a funeral. He was asked to attend the funeral. He said, "Didn't he owe someone a debt?" I do not go to pray.

In the Hadith Sharif under discussion, it is stated that Rahmat Aalam himself is praying that if I have caused hardship to someone, then accept my supplication for him. Even though you were full of mercy, you never abused anyone. Despite this, you asked for forgiveness. If it was to be done in style or anger, special words were said. Such words are also used in hadiths such as: Turbat Yeminak (May your hands be dusty), La Kabrat Sanak (May your life not be long), La Ashba Allah Batna (May Allah make him hungry). ) No intention is involved in such a thing. There are similar things in other languages ​​of the world. So, even in such things, if you could find any meaning of bad supplication, then you apologized for that too. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray even to his enemies, he used to pray for guidance after listening to insults. Once someone said, "Hozor, curse the tribe of Doos!" He said: O Allah, grant us guidance. Similarly, on the day of Taif, he did not pray badly even in the midst of extreme distress. However, bad prayers have been given to infidels and such enemies who were a threat to Islam, who were causing trouble to Muslims, and bad prayers for bad situations and difficult situations are abundantly present in books of biographies and books of hadith.

From this hadith, we get the lesson that a person should never abuse anyone, if something like this happens and he does not even remember who was abused, then he should apologize and repeat the same words mentioned in this hadith. I have come. Otherwise, the rights of the servants will be severely affected. What the Prophet ﷺ described along with Tawheed throughout his Makkah life from the beginning of the Prophet's birth was good conduct and participation in the sufferings of the people.

Once he had severe fever and headache, he tied his head due to the severity of the pain. In this situation, he said to Hazrat Fazl bin Abbas (RA): Take me to the mosque and gather the people, this is a long event. The summary of this is that he told everyone to take revenge on me in this world whom I have hurt, or forgive me happily so that I can be present in the presence of my Lord with satisfaction. He also said in his deathbed: O people! He who has suppressed the right of someone should return the right to the owner of the right, and do not fear the disgrace of this world, otherwise be prepared for the disgrace of the hereafter, where disgrace is the disgrace of this world. It will be tough and intense. Allah Almighty gives us the rights of others Please allow me to pay. Amen

Good behavior with parents

Praise be to God and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God and his family and his companions and those who follow them with charity until the Day of Judgment: but after that:

On the authority of Abi Ummama, that a man said: O Messenger of God, what is the right of the parents over their children? He said: "They are your paradise and your fire."

It is narrated on the authority of Hazrat Abu Umamah that a man asked the Messenger of God, O Messenger of God, what is the right of parents over their children? He said: Parents are your paradise and parents are your prison.

In Hadith Sharif, it has been ruled to fulfill the rights of parents, that if you serve them, you will earn heaven and if you disobey them, you will go to hell. The command to behave well towards parents has come immediately after the worship of Allah in the Holy Quran. Allah says:

 And your Lord decreed that you worship none but Him and His parents.

And your Lord has decided that you should not worship anyone but Him, and be kind to your parents.

After the worship of Allah, parents have the most right over a human being. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Masoud (RA) once asked the Prophet (PBUH) that which deed is most beloved to Allah? He said: The prayer that is performed on time. He said: Good behavior towards parents. Then he asked what action, he said: Jihad in the way of Allah.

Hazrat Abdullah says that a man came to the service of the Messenger of Allah, and said, "I pledge allegiance to you for emigration and jihad, and I seek reward from Allah." Is anyone alive? He said yes, but both of them are alive. He said: So do you really want reward from Allah for emigration and Jihad? He said yes. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: Go and serve your parents and behave well with them.

We should be grateful to our parents, we should not take any fault in their service, we should be grateful to them and it is a fact that our parents are the real reason for our existence. Parents protect us with extraordinary sacrifice, unparalleled devotion and utmost compassion, it is required that our chest should be full of their devotion, kindness, greatness and love and our heartbeat should also be grateful to them.

Parents are always well-wishers of their children, keeping them happy is the responsibility of the children. Especially in old age, when the temper becomes irritable and the parents start saying some things that are against the expectation, even then it is the duty of the young children to bear their words happily and not to show their heart. Do not say, and whatever they say except disobedience to Allah, if you are able to believe it, then believe it, there is success in it.

The parents of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had already passed away. He ordered to serve parents on several occasions, but in some places he preferred serving parents over jihad and migration.

In the Holy Qur'an, service to parents and good behavior has been given in great detail in the following verse:

Either one of them or both of them attains greatness in your sight, so do not say to them ``Auf'' and do not disdain them.

If one or both of them reach old age in front of you, do not tell them to stop or scold them.

In the Hadith Sharif under review, the river has been sealed in a jar, which means that they are your paradise if you treat them well and they are your hell if you disobey them. After the worship of Allah and the pleasure of serving the parents, the good and happiness of both worlds is obtained and a person is protected from the calamities of both worlds. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: A person who wants to have a long life and a generous livelihood should be kind to his parents and be kind to them.

You ﷺ have cursed such a person who disobeys his parents. He said: May that man be humiliated. Then he said: May that man be humiliated. The people asked, O Messenger of Allah, who is this man? He said: The man who saw his parents in their old age (both or one of them) and then served them did not enter Paradise.

Therefore, the importance of serving parents and good behavior towards them has been described in detail in the Holy Qur'an. Despite this, it can be seen that the parents who sacrifice their youth and comfort to raise their children, sacrifice their condition for the good future of the child. Shame begins to be understood, this social evil is also in our society, many children beat their parents, throw them out of their homes, consider them a burden, in the so-called civilized society of the West, parents are sent to the Old Citizen House (OLD). They leave in CITIZEN HOUSES, where they are sometimes met on holidays. All these traits are against Islam and Islamic law. Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) have declared the pilgrimage of parents as equivalent to Hajj to the House of Allah. The Companions asked, O Messenger of Allah! If a man visits his parents every day with love and affection, he will get the reward of a hundred Hajj. He said: Yes, if anyone

Even if you do this a hundred times, Allah is greater (than your imagination) and purer

We pray to Allah Ta'ala to grant us the ability to serve our parents and treat them well.

Faith and commitment

Praise be to God and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God and his family and his companions and those who follow them with charity until the Day of Judgment: but after that:

On the authority of Anas, he said: The Messenger of God, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, did not speak except when he said: "There is no faith for him who does not have faith, and there is no religion for him who does not have him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (ra) that it has rarely happened that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave us a sermon and did not say in it that he who does not have the character of trust does not have faith, and he who does not adhere to a covenant does not have faith. Not religion.

A man's lack of trustworthiness and commitment is an evidence of deprivation of the reality of religion and faith, because trustworthiness and keeping promises are among the essentials of faith and Islam.

Religion and faith are two terms used by the Prophet ﷺ in the aforementioned hadith. Religion and faith are what we call Islam, and Islam and good morals are inseparable. A person who does not have good morals cannot be a Muslim or a believer. Morality is concerned with creation. The more a person is bound by high morals, the more he will be a good Muslim, and the more his morals are bad, the more faith and Islam will be lacking.

Trustworthiness is the best habit and quality which is found in a believer and is the proof of his faith. The opposite word of trustworthiness is betrayal and betrayal was described by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among the signs of a hypocrite. He said:

The third verse of the hypocrite: If the incident is false, and if the promise is left behind, and if Utmin Khan is fulfilled.

There are three signs of a hypocrite: when he speaks, he lies, when he makes a promise, he breaks his promise, and when he is entrusted, he betrays.

This is called corruption or corruption and betrayal or corruption is reprehensible at every level. In a society where corruption is common, there is a long period of famine and poverty, there is injustice and injustice, and there is wrath of Allah. Betrayal is a robbery against the rights of the people, which does not have the possibility of forgiveness. On the Day of Judgment, the one who kills someone's right will not be able to reach the destination of forgiveness without paying that right, even if he has been praying and fasting. Corruption and treachery in communal matters, treachery in the treasury, treachery in the wealth inside the office, treachery in the cultivation of the land, all these treachery negates faith.

In the second part of the hadith, the importance of keeping promises is explained, the Prophet himself is a proverb in keeping promises. The biographical books are full of examples of the Prophet's performance. Not fulfilling a promise is also mentioned in a hadith as a sign of a hypocrite and hypocrisy is the opposite of faith. Even a person who breaks a promise cannot be a perfect believer. This nefarious habit causes loss to others, sometimes running into lakhs and crores. The one to whom the promise is made remains in mental distress. If a promise is made to a nation for the sake of collective interests and it is violated, collective interests are harmed. Breach of promise is another form of lying and lying is the worst thing which is impossible to imagine coming from a believer.

Therefore, keeping promises and trust are the qualities that make a society the best society. Where no one is worried about theft and loss of rights. The high morals and best values ​​and traditions of the people of faith are also known from these two attributes. A person who protects small trusts in the world, keeps the promises made to people, it can be hoped that he will also keep the big trust, which is related to faith in Allah and this great promise. will also fulfill what he did to his Lord in the world of spirits. In such a case, a person's faith is truly complete and the crimes of hypocrisy are cleared forever.

We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to adopt these high moral qualities. Amen
