Lesson twenty five :Ahealthy social life

Imam Sadegh( A. S. )says:

لوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ أَدَّوْا حُقُوقَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ لَكانُوا عايِشِينَ بِخَيْرٍ

Translation

If people pay rights of each other, and fulfill requirements of the poor, they will enjoy a good and satisfactory life..

Brief description

The above tradition, which is concerned with charity tax on property and supplying requirements of the needy of society, warns everybody that paying rights of others is not merely a moral and human matter. Rather it is an important social principle that peace and health of society depends on it.

Dangerous reactions caused by unfair and class exploitations which threaten societies today and disturb peace terribly are good proofs for this great Islamic command.

As far as world`s people consider right equal to force and powerful people refrain incumbent rights which they are liable to pay, both themselves and all human societies are endangered.
