Ma`rifat

This discourse is based on a scholarly lecture examining the mutual rights between Allah Almighty and humanity. Following an in-depth analysis of the term Haqq (Right) and its semantic scope in the Quran regarding both humanity and Allah Almighty, the Master -drawing upon the words of Amir al-Mu’minin, Imam Ali (pbuh) - elucidates the reciprocal rights between Allah and His servants. According to Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (pbuh), everyone possesses rights and, in turn, bears obligations. It is a rational principle among humans that if a duty is imposed upon an individual for the benefit of another, a corresponding right must be recognized for them in return. However, a unilateral right, which entails only a benefit without a correlative obligation, is exclusive to Allah Almighty; Allah alone is entitled to rights, while bearing no duty. Subsequently, the Master provides an argument for absolute Divine ownership to establish the Divine right.
