Many
writers use the term 'Public Rights' alternatively with the 'Rights of God' and
rightly state:
'Rights of former class (i.e. Rights of God) are such as involve benefit to the community at large and not merely to a particular individual. They are referred to God because of the magnitude of risks involved in their violation and of the comprehensive benefits, which would result from their fulfillment. It is not to be understood that those rights are called rights of God because they are of any benefit to God for He is above all wants, nor because they are the creation of God for all rights are equally the creation of God who is the Creator of everything. The rights of God correspond to public rights and since the Mohammedan Law regards the observance of obligatory devotional acts as being beneficial to the community there is no difficulty in describing all rights of God as Public Rights'.3
