Husband
 The rights of the husband upon his wife are greater than the rights of the wife upon her
husband for the simple reason that Allah, the Almighty, stated in the Glorious Quran what
means: “…And due to the wives is similar to what is expected of them, according to what
is reasonable. But the men have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority].
And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise." [Quran 2: 228]
 A Muslim wife must protect her husband’s secrets, privacies, honor and dignity. She also
must protect his wealth, children, finance, belongings and other aspects of his
household, as much as possible.
Allah Almighty Says in the same verse (what means): "...So righteous women are devoutly
obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard..." [Quran
4:34]
Father
 Abu Ad-Darda reported: The Prophet Muhammad
(S.AW) said, “The father is the middle of the gates of
Paradise, so keep this gate or lose it.”
Source: Sunan Ibn Majah 3663
Brother
 On the authority of Abu Hamzah Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased
with him) - the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) - that the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said :
 "None of you will believe until you love for your brother what you love
for yourself.“
 The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and
reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear God,
that ye may receive Mercy.” [The Holy Qur’an, al-Hujurat 49:10]
Son
 Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), the servant of
the Prophet, had another recollection:
I never saw anyone who was more compassionate towards
children than Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W) : His son Ibrahim was
in the care of a wet nurse in the hills around Madinah. He
would go there, and we would go with him, and he would enter
the house, pick up his son and kiss him, then come
back. (Muslim)

Rights of Women in Islam
 Equal right to education :
The Prophet (S.A.W) said, “Education is compulsory for every Muslim.
 Equal right to choose a spouse :

At the time of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), a woman came to him and said, “My
father has married me to my cousin to raise his social standing and I was forced into
it.” The Prophet sent for the girl’s father and then in his presence gave the girl the
option of remaining married or nullifying the marriage. She responded, “O Messenger
of Allah, I have accepted what my father did, but I wanted to show other women (that
they could not be forced into a marriage).”
 The Family unit :
“They are clothing for you and you are clothing for them.
"Qur'an 2:187”
 Right to vote :
1400 years ago the word “Bait” was used, which indicates that if a women
agrees then she can take “Bait” of the ruler otherwise she cannot be forced
to do so. In the modern era, that “Bait” is known as elections and voting,
which means women has right to vote.
 Property Rights :
For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for
women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or
much - an obligatory share. “Quran 4:6”
 The right to modesty.
