behaviour as does not come up to the standard of
Islam.
Examples of proper Islamic behaviour are giving
respect to others, never humiliating others while
giving them help, acting for the good of others, and
if unable to benefit them in any way, at least doing
no one any harm, fulfilling trusts, never breaking
them; never usurping the wealth and property of
others; dealing justly with others regardless of the
circumstances; giving the benefit of the doubt to
others, not believing in allegations made against
others without proper proofs; advising others in
earnest.
Everyone has a duty to fulfill these responsibilities
towards other human beings according to the
Islamic Shariah. This is called
Huququl lbad,
or
human rights.
