On
the Day of Resurrection Allah shall say :
O
man : I felt sick and you didn't visit me. The man will be surprised and will
say: How could I visit you while you are the Lord of the Universe? Allah shall
say: Didn't you come to know that my so
and so servant fell sick and you didn't visit him? Had you gone there, you
could have found me there.
The
Prophet said :
A
man has six rights towards his fellows;
The people asked : O Prophet of Allah: what are those rights? He
(P.B.U.H) answered : Salute your Muslim fellow when you come across him, accept
his invitation when he invites you, be his well-wisher when he consult you.
respond to his sneeze when he says " All the praise be to Allah",
visit him when he falls sick and attend his last funeral when he is expired.
"
Ayesha Bint Sad (R.A.) narrates that her
father narrated to her that he once fell sick badly in Makkah when the Prophet
visited him he asked : O Prophet of Allah: I am leaving enormous wealth and
property while I am to be survived by only one daughter; As such, may I make
will in two third of my wealth and leave the residue for the daughter. The
Prophet did not allow him to do so. Then he sought the permission for one
third. The Prophet (P.B.U.H) told : yes, you can make will this much, and one
third is much. Then the Prophet placed his hand on his forehead and passed it
by his face and stomach and prayed : O Allah: Cure Sad and complement his
exodus. Sad (R.A.) says : Yet I feel his cool hand on my chest.
The
Prophet (P.B.U.H)) expressed the importance and ponderosity of the popular
rights through the following dialogue:
"On the day of resurrection, Allah shall say:
O man: I felt sick and you didn't visit me? The man will be surprised and say:
How could I visit you while you are the Lord of the universe? Allah shall say:
didn't you come to know that my so and so servant fell sick and you didn't
visit him? Had you gone there, you could have found me there.
O man! I asked you food and you
didn't feed me? The man will be surprised and say: How could I feed you while
you are the Lord of the universe? Allah shall say: didn't you come to know that
my so and so servant asked you food and you didn't feed him. Had you fed him
you could have found me there.
O man : I asked you water and you
didn't fetch me water. The man will be surprised and say: How could I fetch you
water while you are the Lord of the universe? Allah shall say: Didn't you come
to know that my so and so servant asked you water and you didn't fetch him
water. Had you fetched him water, you could have found me there."
Hence
any lapse in Divine Rights is remissible because Allah is indifferent with
their works, but as regard the popular Rights, we can't get the mooring of
salvation if we have teased the bondsmen of Allah or have usurbed their rights.
Therefore, the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) once addressed the people saying:
Do
you know who is the bankrupt? The people replied: O Prophet of Allah! The
bankrupt among us is one who has no property. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) explained:
The bankrupt or pauper among my nation is one who shall come on Dooms Day with
mammoth stock of prayers, alms, fasts and what not. But he might have abused
someone in this world, have accused some other, have snatched the property of
some one, have killed some one and have belabored some one. So all his venture
shall be transferred to his victims. thus all his ventures will come to an end
Finally other's evils will be inducted into his account and eventually he will
be thrown in the hell.

Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
