​The Rights of Allah against oneself

Treatise on Rights is the only work attributed to Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) other than supplications or relatively short sayings and letters. The fact that it was a written document from the first may support the suggestion that at least some of the supplications were originally written compositions.

1 . حق الله الأكبر

1. The Greatest Right of Allah

فأَمَّا حَقُّ اللهِ الأَكْبَرُ فَإنَّكَ تَعْبُدُهُ لا تُشْرِكُ بهِ شَيْئاً،

The greatest right of God against you is that you worship Him without associating anything with Him.

فَإذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ بإخلاصٍ

When you do that with sincerity (ikhlas),

جَعَلَ لَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنْ يَكفِيَكَ أَمْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَيَحْفَظَ لَكَ مَا تُحِبُّ مِنْهَما.

He has made it binding upon Himself to give you sufficiency in the affair of this world and the next.
