orphans, and the needy, and unto the neighbor who is of kin (unto you) and
the neighbor who is not of kin, and the fellow-traveler and the wayfarer and

Commentary
After explaining the rights and
duties of husband and wife, kindness and good behavior with each other, now
Allah Almighty orders to serve Him, do not ascribe any partner to Him, and show
kindness to each person according to his/her grade and depending on their
needs. First priority to perform the duty is the rights of Allah Almighty. For
this purpose, you should worship only Him. None is His partner in any matter.
Do well by having hope of reward on the Day of Resurrection and believe in
Allah Almighty. The persons who give their wealth to the needy being proud and
boastful, they ascribe partner to Allah Almighty (because it is also a kind of
polytheism).
Next to the rights of Allah
Almighty, the rights of His servants come. Out of them, first grade is the
rights of parents, who are responsible for the continuance of the generation.
They look after and bring up their children at that time when the children
would be very feeble and helpless. The parents are responsible even for their
physical and mental training. Then the rights are about the near relatives and
kindred. They use to help the person from time to time. Their rights should
also be performed properly. Then the grade of rights comes about orphans and
the poor. Orphan is helpless due to the depravity of parents and the poor is
needy due to poverty. After it, the rights are about the neighbors who are of
kin (unto you) and the neighbor who is not of kin have been determined. Then,
there is a grade of friend and fellow. After them grade of travelers has come.
Then it has been commanded to treat the slaves and maids with good behavior. At
the end, Allah Almighty says, “The people who are proud and boastful (who do
not consider anyone equal to them), they can’t perform these rights and Allah
Almighty never likes such persons.”
