There are well-established public andprivate rights in the Islamic society. In thesection below we will highlight the mostimportant public and private rights in theIslamic law and teachings:RIGHTSAND OBLIGATIONSIN ISLAM01 Rights of Almighty God02 Rights of the Prophet Muhammad ¿¿¿¿03 Rights of other Prophets and Messengers04 Rights of Parents05 Rights of Husband towards His Wife06 Rights of Wife towards Her Husband07 Rights of Children08 Rights of RelativesThe essential right of man towards God isto worship Him alone, setting up no rivalsor partners with Him, nor attributing anysons or daughters to Him. The eternal truthof all existence is that LA ILAHA ILLAALLAH:"there is nothing worthy of beingworshipped except God," meaning thatthere is no so-called "god", deity, or entityworthy of worship and absolute obedienceexcept for the One Creator. This is thetestimony of faith of a Muslim that involvesthe following requirements:1. God alone deserves to be worshipedand obeyed in an absolute sense. Nonehas the right to be worshiped alongwith or besides Him. All statements,acts and hidden intentions must agreewith what the Almighty has designated.All actions of man must be performedfor the Pleasure of the Almighty. 2. A Muslim is required to believe in theNames and Attributes that God hasgiven Himself, or those attributed to Himthrough revelation by His Prophet andMessenger ¿¿¿¿. No one may attribute anyname or quality to God by speculationthat neither God nor His Prophet andMessenger have attributed to Him. Hemust not offer any undue explanation,similitude thereof, or express an opinionconcerning these Names and Attributesof God. God the Exalted says in the"There is nothing like unto Him, and He isthe All-Hearer, the All-Seer." [42:11]3. Man must submit himself to God,in faith with total and sincere belief,declaring with his tongue, acceptingwith his heart and showing with hisactions the truth of the statement that"So know, [O Muhammad], that there isno deity except Allah and ask forgivenessfor your sin and for the believing men andbelieving women. And Allah knows of yourmovement and your resting place." [47:19]4. Human beings are obligated to givefull and total submission to the Will ofGod. This is based on the instructionis not for a believing man or a believingwoman, when Allah and His Messengerhave decided a matter, that they should[thereafter] have any choice about theiraffair. And whoever disobeys Allah andHis Messenger has certainly strayedinto clear error." [33:36]

Games that try to distort Islaam and MuslimsPhilip Taylor, professor of modern history at Leeds University, wrote in his important book, 'Munitions of the Mind,' wherein he speaks about propaganda during war, or during wartime media: "If war is essentially an organized communication of violence, propaganda and psychological warfare are essentially organized processes of persuasion. In wartime they attack a part of the body that other weapons cannot reach in an attempt to affect the way in which participants perform on the field of battle."Effects of the contents of games onbeliefs and moral Allaah the Exalted has made the religion of Islaam a complete religion from all angles. He the Exalted made its rulings overpower all aspects of life. There is no situation in life or any statement or action that does not have a religious ruling associated with itMany of these games contain - either intentionally or not - aspects that corrupt the monotheism of our children, as well as the purity of their beliefs. It causes them to have beliefs that contradict Tawheed (monotheism) totally. These games, even if they are not the majority, chip away at the most important thing a person possesses, which is, their creed

The phenomenon of weak faith has become very widespread among Muslims, and many people complain about the hardness of their hearts. So often we hear the words, "I feel hardness in my heart," "I do not find any joy in worship," "I feel that my faith has hit rock bottom," "Reading Qur'aan does not move me," "I fall into sin so easily." The effects of this affliction can be seen in many people, and this problem is the cause of every disaster and adversity.
