Question:
And we said that there is an urgent need for a brief word on oppression and what befalls the one who commits it, even if it has already
Answer:
Oppression is forbidden, and it is darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and the supplication of the oppressed is answered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22:246 Therefore, oppression is not permissible.
And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says in the Holy Hadith:Sahih Muslim 2577a And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Ibrahim 14:42] So oppression is darkness on the Day of Resurrection.
And the one who has oppressed people must rid himself of the injustices, return the rights to their owners, and seek their forgiveness. Yes.
And we said that there is an urgent need for a brief word on oppression and what befalls the one who commits it, even if it has already
Answer:
Oppression is forbidden, and it is darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and the supplication of the oppressed is answered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah
وإياك ودعوة المظلوم فإنه ليس بينها وبين الله حجابAnd Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says in the Holy Hadith:
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.
يا عبادي إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي وجعلته بينكم محرما فلا تظالمواAnd never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُAnd the one who has oppressed people must rid himself of the injustices, return the rights to their owners, and seek their forgiveness. Yes.
