Besides parents' rights, a great emphasis is also laid on the rights
of other relatives. In Islamic terms, 'Silah-Rahimi' is used to
denote good treatment towards the relatives'.

In the Qur'an, where the Muslims are enjoined to show kindness to
parents, they are also required to treat the other relatives with
love and sympathy and to pay due regard to their rights as well.

Allah has declared, "I am Allah, I am Ar-Rahman (The Merciful), I
have created the bond of kinship and named it Rahim,-which I have
derived from the root of my name of Rahman. Thus, whoever, shall
join it tie. Rahim, I shall join him, and whoever will break it, I
shall break him."

The Almighty has designed the system of birth in such a way, that
whoever is born, is tied to the bonds of kinship-and these bonds
carry certain claims and rights. Thus, whoever fulfils these
claims, by being kind to his relatives and treating them well,
Allah will "join him" i.e. He will make him His own and bestow His
favor and mercy on him. And whosoever will violate these claims,
Allah will "break him" i.e. He will have nothing to do with him.

Fulfilling The Rights Of Relatives

It is related by Anas (R.A.) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said
"Whoever wants an increase in his sustenance and that the marks of
his feet remain for a long time in the world (i.e. to live long) -
he should be kind and helpful to his relatives."

Basically, there are two ways of being kind and considerate to
relatives. One is by giving them monetary assistance, when needed,
and the other is by devoting a part of one's time and energy at
their service.

Family quarrels, which generally arise from the disregard of the
relatives' rights, affect a man's health and make it difficult for
him to concentrate in his work. Those who treat their relatives
well and are helpful to them, are free from tensions of this kind
and they are happier and more peaceful.

Violation Of Relatives Rights

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has said "Whoever violates the rights of
relatives, shall not go to Paradise.

This Hadith, alone, should be enough to make us realize the
importance of Silah-Rahimi'. It shows that the violation of the
relatives' rights is so detested by Allah, that with its
filthiness, no one can enter Paradise. It is only when a person
(believer) has received his punishment or has been forgiven, that
the gates of Paradise will be opened for him.

Showing Kindness To Those Who So Ever Relations

Often, there are people who care little for the bonds of
relationship and are ruin and unjust in this respect. Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) has enjoined to continue to treat them well and
fulfill the obligations, irrespective of what they do and how they
behave.

Abdullah ibn Umar (R.A.) relates from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),
"He does not fulfill the claim of Silah-Rahimi who shows no
kindness in return for the kindness shown to him.. The person who
really fulfils the claim is he who treats his relatives well even
when they are mean and unjust to him.

When the violation of the rights of relatives is returned in a
similar manner, the evil will spread in the society -- while if it
is returned with kindness, it may lead to their correction and it
will assist in the promotion of Silah-Rahimi, in the life of the
community.

There's most likely a reason that they are virgins. What a bummer to
