To avoid transgressing the rights of others, one must adhere to justice and honesty.
The Holy Quran emphasizes the importance of respecting the rights of others. One key verse addressing this matter is Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 32, which states: 'Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely.' This verse illustrates that any transgression against the rights of others, including their life and property, is extremely reprehensible and is one of the greatest sins. Similarly, in Surah An-Nisa, verse 58, it is mentioned: 'Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due...' reminding us that we must return the trusts of others and refrain from any form of exploitation of their rights or possessions. Also, Surah Al-Hujurat, verse 12 advises us to avoid assumptions and negative behaviors: 'O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin...' indicating that even harboring bad thoughts about others is unacceptable. To prevent infringing upon others' rights, we should always adhere to justice, honesty, and respect towards others. In daily life, we can practice respecting the rights of others, especially within our families and communities, thereby becoming more acceptable and beloved in the sight of Allah.
Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely.
Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due.
O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin.
One day a person named Ehsan was walking in the market and recalled the importance of respecting others' rights. He saw an incident where someone accidentally harmed another, which reminded him of Quranic verses stating never to transgress on someone else's rights. Ehsan approached the individual and reminded him to rectify his mistake. This reminder brought peace to the situation, and Ehsan felt a sense of satisfaction and inner tranquility.
