Commentary
a. Piety means fearing Allâh and avoiding sins. Noble character prevents one from oppressing and mistreating people. Therefore, the rights of Allâh due to piety, and the rights of His slaves due to noble character are carried out properly; fulfilling both types of rights is a means of entering Paradise.
b. If a sin is related to the violation of the rights of people then the sinner has to pay back their rights or seek their forgiveness, otherwise his repentance is not considered complete.
