Dua for Fulfilling the Rights of Others

Good Character
Sahih HadithAl-Musannaf 29642

اللَّهُمَّ أَدِّ عَنِّي كُلَّ حَقٍّ لَكَ عَلَيَّ، وَكُلُّ حَقٍّ لِخَلْقِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَعِنِّي عَلَى قَضَاءِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ.

O Allah, discharge on my behalf every right that is due to You from me, and every right that is due to Your creation from me, and help me in fulfilling all of that.

Allahumma addi 'anni kulla haqqin laka 'alayya, wa kulla haqqin likhalqika 'alayya, wa a'inni 'ala qada'i dhalika kullihi.

When to Read

This powerful supplication is best recited in the quietude of the night, perhaps after the obligatory prayers or during the voluntary night prayers. It's also fitting to make this dua after completing an act of worship or at the beginning of your day, seeking Allah's help to navigate interactions with others justly and conscientiously.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincerity and conviction, focusing on each word and its meaning. Understand that 'rights' (huquq) encompasses all obligations we have towards Allah (our Creator) and towards His creation (family, neighbours, colleagues, society, even the environment). Make a firm intention to uphold these rights, and let this dua be an earnest plea for divine assistance to do so.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua is a profound recognition of our responsibilities towards both Allah and humanity. By asking Allah to help us discharge these rights, we acknowledge our limitations and seek His guidance and strength. It fosters a conscious awareness of the needs and entitlements of others, promoting empathy and a commitment to justice and fairness in all our dealings. Fulfilling the rights of others is a cornerstone of good character and a vital aspect of being a responsible member of the Ummah.

Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) taught me a few words that I say every day: "O Allah, discharge on my behalf every right that is due to You from me, and every right that is due to Your creation from me, and help me in fulfilling all of that."'
