RISALE-E HUQOOQ - The Testament of Rights

This extremely valuable treatise was from Imam Zain al-Abideen, the great-grandson and spiritual heir of the Blessed One SAW. This epistle describes the rights of man in society. It accounts for over fifty circumstance by which the believer is obligated to observe the rights of others. To mention just a few, it starts with:

-the rights of man toward Allah,

-the rights of prayers,

-the rights of self and the rights of the parts of one's own body.

It goes on to enlist:

-The rights of women towards men,

-the rights of men toward women.

It reminds one towards:

-The rights of children to their parents and elders,

-the rights of parents and elders to their children.

Further:

-The rights of students towards their teachers,

-the rights of the teachers towards their students.

Further:

-The rights of neighbors,

-the rights of friends

-the rights of adversaries and foes!

It is evident that this epistle contains such wealth of ethical conduct that if followed, it would make any ordinary human being into a saint. Even if one does not aspire to become a saint, it would certainly foster tolerance and harinony with the self and the society.

“Insaan ko bedaar to ho lene do,

har qaum pukaraygi hamare hain Hussain”

Let humanity awaken from its slumber

every tribe will proclaim Hussain as their own.
