The Treatise on Rights by Imam Zain al Abidin (A.S) Rights of Allah -1




1. Rights of Allah

"The greatest right of Allah against you is that you worship Him without associating anything with Him. When you do that with sincerity (ikhla`s), He has made it biding upon Himself to give you sufficiency in the affair of this world and the next, and to preserve for you what you love of them." 

The greatest right of Allah against His servants is that they should worship Him sincerely and should not associate anyone in worshiping Him, for this will purify their hearts from deviation and free their intellects from enslavement and dependence on other than Him. 

As for worshiping other than Allah, such as idols, is abasement and enslavement, destroys man's dignity and honor, and throws him into low places, while Allah, the Exalted, has guaranteed those who worship Him sincerely through making it biding upon Himself to give them sufficiency in the affair of this world and the next.
