Hadith - Explaination needed !!
Anonymous

One of my friend has put the following query...

[hr]

[i]
Sahih Bukhari - Volume 9, Book 93, Number 470:
Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal:
The Prophet said, "O Mu'adh! Do you know what Allah's Right upon His
slaves
is?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet said, "To
worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in worship with Him (Allah).
Do
you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His
Apostle
know best." The Prophet said, "Not to punish them (if they do so)."
[/i]

[hr]

From above, Allah's right on Banda ('Abd) is that Banda should worship
Allah
& not join any other.

Banda's right on Allah is that "Allah should not punish banda".

Question arises. What happened to Amissualihaat ( They performed good
deeds) Amr bil ma'roof, nahi anil munkar ( Command good deeds to be
done, stop or forbid bad things )Quran is full with these instructions.

What happened to Jazaa & Sazaa ? The reward and the punishment ? The
day of
judgement - Yowmiddeen, Jannah & jahannamah ? Quran is also full of
warnings
of hell for many many other bad acts, for example collecting too much
wealth
( Surah Takatur), not feeding the hungry, not helping the poor (Sura
Arayatalladi)... and so on.

The whole  nearly 2 billion Muslims worship Allah. Are we all heading
for
Jannah inspite of all our sins in this world. Has Allah (SWT) bound his
hands "Not to punish" ?

[hr]

I know there are lot of knowledgable brothers and sisters in this
board. Could  you pls shed some light on this hadith and interpret it
properly.

Good question.  Maybe bhaloo can make it the next question on WWTBAM II :)

Think about it a little bit Anonymous.  Think about what "worship" means in Islam ...

That should probably take you to the right answer :)
