This article deals with the typology of rights in Islam. According to Islamic jurists and the experts of Methodology, the rights can be divided into two types: (a) the rights of Allah (b) the rights of men. According to this classification, beliefs and practices like prayer, fasting and pilgrimage are the rights of Allah. On the other hand, the rights a person owes to his fellow-beings are the rights of men e.g. the right to protection of life and property, the right to inheritance, and right to Mehr (money paid to the newly wed woman for use) and alimony. Some rights are collective e.g. Zakat, charity, loan, feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, and entering into contract with anybody etc.-all these rights are the rights of men. The perusal of Holy Quran reveals that Allah has linked both kinds of rights to His Own Self and has thus given sanctity to them. Both kinds are binding on Muslims. The only motive behind observing the rights is to seek the pleasure of Allah and adherence to Him.
