Worshiping Allah Alone and His Right Upon Us

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught Mu'adh bin Jabal (May Allah be pleased with him) that the right of Allah upon His slaves is to worship Him alone and associate nothing with Him, and the right of His slaves upon Him is that He should not punish those who do not associate anything with Him.

Mu'adh bin Jabal (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was riding a pillion with the Prophet on a donkey. He said, "O Mu'adh, do you know what is the right of Allah upon His slaves, and what is the Right of His slaves upon Allah?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know better". Upon this the Messenger of Allah said, "Allah's Right upon His slaves is that they should worship Him Alone and associate nothing with Him; and His slaves' right upon Him is that He should not punish who does not associate a thing with Him". He (Mu'adh) added: I said to the Messenger of Allah: "Shall I give the glad tidings to people?" He said, "Do not tell them this good news for they will depend on it alone". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن معاذ بن جبل ، رضي الله عنه ، قال‏:‏ كنت ردف النبي ، على حمار فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏ يا معاذ هل تدري ما حق الله على عباده، وما حق العباد على الله‏.‏ ‏؟‏ قلت‏:‏ الله ورسوله أعلم‏.‏ قال‏:‏‏"‏فإن حق الله على العباد أن يعبدوه، ولا يشركوا به شيئاً، وحق العباد على الله أن لا يعذب من لا يشرك به شيئاً، فقلت، يا رسول الله أفلا أبشر الناس‏؟‏ قال لا تبشرهم فيتكلوا‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the rights of both God and humans. The right of God upon us is to worship only Him, without associating any partners or idols with Him. We must also remember that we have a right over God; He will not punish us if we do not associate anything else with Him in our worship. However, it is important to note that this does not mean we can disobey God's commands; rather, it means that if we make an honest mistake or are unaware of something, then He will forgive us for it. Additionally, this hadith reminds us to always be grateful for all the blessings God has given us and never take them for granted.
