WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS OF 

THE MUSLIMS ON YOU?

Allaah the Most High says:

إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ 

"The believers are but brothers (to each other)" ¹

So it is obligatory to take them as brothers, meaning:

• That you love for them what you love for your own self;

• That you dislike for them what you dislike for your own self;

• And that you do your very best to help them, correct what is between them, bring their hearts together, and unite them upon the Truth.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

Every Muslim is a brother to another Muslim; he does not oppress him, forsake him, lie to him, or degrade him.²

it is also obligatory to give every one of the Muslims their specific rights, whether they are parents, relatives, neighbors, friends or coworkers.
