The right of your ritual prayers is that it is an arrival before Allah and that through it, you are standing before Him. When you know that, then you will stand worthy in the station of him who is lowly, vile, beseeching, trembling, fearful, hopeful, needy, abased and magnifying Him whom you are standing before by being calm, keeping silence with submitted limbs, soft wing, whispering to Him in his heart, asking Him to free and untie your neck which is sorrounded by your faults and sins. There is no strength save in Allah!

11. The right of fasting

The right of fasting is that you know it is a veil which Allah has set up over your tongue, your hearing, your sight, your private part, your abdomen to protect you with it from the Hell. And it was narrated in the hadith “The fasting is an armor from Hell”. When your limbs cool down in it, you will hope to be protected. But when you leave them, they will be confused in their shield which will make them penetrate the sides of the armor that will lead you to a wrong way by practicing a sight which causes you to crave and go out of Allah’s limits which you then will not be secured to penetrate the block and go out of it. There is no strength save in Allah!

12. The right of charity

The right of charity is that you know that it is a storing way with your Lord and your deposit for which you will have no need of any witness; if you know that, you will be more confident in what you have deposited in secret, than that which you have deposited in public and you will be trustworthy because you have made a public issue secret to Him. Therefore, the matter between you and Him will be secret in all situation, nevertheless, you did not present the deposit to Him with the witness of the hearing nor seeing as they are more reliable in your self, not because you do not trust in Him to turn back your deposit to you. Then you may not bestow it upon to anyone since it is for yourself; and if you do so you may not secure to be humiliating your state to him whom you did a favour, because this is a proof that you did not intend yourself through it, since if you liked that you had not bestowed it upon to anyone. There is no strength save in Allah.

13. The right of sacrifice

The right of the sacrifice is that through it you desire Allah, you desire the exposure of your soul to Allah’s mercy and His acceptance but not of His creation; when you become like that, it means that you did not simulate and dissemble but you verily have pursued the right path to Allah.

And you should know that Allah is loved through ease but not difficulty. He desired ease for His creatures and did not desire for them difficulty and thus, your being humble is better than being arrogant simply because expense and provisions are found in overbearing people yet there is no expense and provisions in humbleness and pauperism as they are the characters found in the nature. There is no strength save in Allah!
