PART 2. DUTIES OF CONDITION

TOWARDS OTHER INDIVIDUALS

 

A.            Duties to Relatives and to the non-Relatives belonging to one’s home;

B.             Duties with respect to Age and Rank;

C.             Duties to Particular Categories of non-Relatives;

D.            Duties to Muslims as Muslims;

E.             Duties to non-Muslims as non-Muslims.

In part I of the “Duties to Others”, we have covered those duties of omission and commission which the Holy Qur’an has prescribed in respect of our dealings with our fellow-beings without consideration of the nature of our relationship with them. They are duties which, according to the Holy Qur’an, we owe to every human being in his capacity as human being. In other words, they are duties which relate to fundamental human rights.

The Holy Qur’an has prescribed, however, another set of duties also, which we owe to others in consideration of their specific relations with us. They may be called: “Duties of condition.” We shall deal with them now, classifying them first into five broad sections: A, B, C, D, and E, as given above. Of course, these sections are further sub-divisible, as we shall see.
