Srinagar, Apr 09 (KNS): Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq, while addressing a sermon at Bazar Masjid, Srinagar spoke about the great teachings of Islam and its far-reaching effects on humanity.

He emphasised that rights in Islam are fundamentally based on the rights of Allah(Haqooq Ul Lah) and the rights of mankind,(Haqooq Ul Ibadan) and the entire structure of rights and duties in Islam stands on this principle.

Mirwaiz said that as far as the rights of Allah are concerned, then Allah is “Ghani” and “Be-Niyaaz”. He can deal with His servants in the matter of concessions and forgiveness, but as far as the rights of the servants are concerned, the Qur'an and the Hadith are clear on this: unless full consideration and attention are given to the fulfillment of each other's rights, Allah Almighty forgiveness can remain elusive

He said that nowadays, our focus is more on the fulfillment of the rights of Allah ,while there are severe and serious lapses on our behalf in fulfilling the rights of mankind,This discrepancy starkly contrasts with the core values and teachings of Islam.(KNS)
