Darhaqiqat, ilohiy farzlarni o‘rganadigan kishi ularning ba’zilari shaxsiy (farz ayn), ba’zilari esa jamoaviy (farz kifoya) ekanini ko‘radi. Farz ayn (shaxsiy farz) — har bir mukallaf (sharʼiy mas’uliyatli shaxs) o‘zi bajarishi shart bo‘lgan farzdir. Agar musulmon bu farzni tark etsa, boshqa barcha musulmonlar uni bajargan bo‘lsa ham, gunohdan xalos bo‘lmaydi. Agar u farzni bajarsa, barcha musulmonlar uni tark etgan bo‘lsa ham, Alloh huzurida gunohdan va ayblovdan xalos bo‘ladi. Demak, har bir musulmon shaxsiy farzlarni izlab topishi va ularga rioya qilishi lozim, toki gunohdan xalos bo‘lsin va vijdonini farzlar Yaratuvchisi oldida tinchitsin. Xuddi shunday, shaxsga taalluqli bo‘lgan taqiqlar haqida ham shaxsiy farzlar haqida aytilganlar o‘rinlidir. Ya’ni musulmon namoz o‘qishi, Ramazonda ro‘za tutishi, imkon topganda Baytulloh ziyoratini qilishi, mol-mulki nisobga yetganda zakot berishi, ota-onasiga qarashi, halol va yaxshi narsalarni yeyishi; yomon va haromni yeyishdan, zinodan, yolg‘ondan, g‘iybatdan va shunga o‘xshash narsalardan tiyilishi kerak. Musulmon bu narsalarni o‘rganishi shart. Shunday qilib, u ma’ruf bo‘lgan har qanday ishni qiladi va munkar bo‘lgan ishdan tiyiladi.

Indeed, the one who examines the divine obligations will find that some of them are individual and some are collective. The fard ‘ayni (individual obligation) is the obligation which must be undertaken by every mukallaf (legally responsible person) by himself. If a Muslim abandons this obligation, then he would not be free of the sin, even if all the Muslims had undertaken it. If he undertook the obligation while all the Muslims neglected it, then he would be free of the sin and blame before Allah 􀀬. This means that it is incumbent on every Muslim to search for the individual obligations and adhere to them, so as to be absolved from guilt, and to relieve his conscience before the Creator of obligations. Likewise, what has been said about the individual obligations is also the case regarding the prohibitions, as long as they relate to the individual. This means that the Muslim has to perform the salah, fast in Ramadan, make pilgrimage to the Sacred House when he can, pay the zakah when his wealth reaches the nisaab (the minimum amount above which zakah is due), look after his parents, eat the halaal and good; abstain from eating the evil and haraam and abstain from zina (adultery), lying and backbiting, and other such things, which the Muslim must inquire about. Thus he will undertake any action if it is ma’roof and abstain if it is munkar.
