famous supplications are well known as "Sahifeye Sajjadieh." About three decades of the Imam's life were devoted to the revival of spiritualism in the society. This book is one of his most outstanding teachings. It is a master document on Islamic human rights, which not only cover human rights, but they also include the rights of God, our parts, and our deeds. To any intelligent reader who ponders deeply about the contents of this valuable document on rights, it immediately becomes clear that Islam has already established the first document on rights nearly fourteen centuries ago. But unfortunately in our modern world there are those who claim to respect human rights but they do so only superficially.

RESPECT EVERYONE'S RIGHTS

You should respect everyone's right

Be they old, young or full of might,

Be they for you an adversary

Or if they ever made you happy

The biggest right is that of God's

You should obey him and no other gods

Our body parts too have certain rights

Such as not viewing forbidden sights

Our relatives have many rights

Be it our parents, brothers or our wives

There are also rights for our deeds

Be it charity, supplications or holy feeds

All people have certain rights

Be they our teachers, or citizens nation-wide
