It is mentioned in the holy hadith that
God Almighty says: (O My servants, I have forbidden injustice to Myself and made it forbidden among you, so do not oppress one another.)
Meaning of injustice linguistically
The origin of injustice: injustice and exceeding the limit, and the origin of injustice is putting something in the wrong place.
The meaning of injustice in term
It is: (Placing something in a place other than its proper place; either by a decrease or an addition, or by a departure from its time or place.
It was said: (It refers to transgressing from the truth to falsehood, which is injustice. It was said: It is disposing of the property of others, and exceeding the limit.
There are three types of injustice
The Prophet Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - explained these two types of injustice, and how God - Glory be to Him - rewards each of them, as he said: (There are three types of injustice: injustice that God does not forgive, injustice that He forgives, and injustice that He does not abandon, as for the injustice that God does not forgive, it is polytheism, God said: Verily polytheism is a great injustice, as for the injustice that God forgives, it is the injustice of the servants themselves and between them and their Lord, and as for the injustice that God does not abandon, so, the servants oppress one another until they are indebted to one another.
First: the Injustice that God will never forgive
Injustice between man and God Almighty (polytheism)
The greatest of them are disbelief, polytheism, and hypocrisy, and for this reason He said:
إنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ لقمان:13
Verily polytheism is a great injustice. Luqman: 13
He says
أَلاَ لَعْنَةُ اللّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ [هود:18]
Indeed, the curse of God is upon the wrongdoers [Hud: 18]
Allah says
فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ [الزمر: 32]
Who is more unjust than he who lies about God? [Az-Zumar: 32]
Second: The Injustice that God never abandons
The Injustice between him and the people
Allah says
وَجَزَاء سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا إلى قوله: إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ الآية
And the recompense for an evil deed is an evil like it until His saying: Indeed, He does not like the wrongdoers. Verse
Allah says
إِنَّمَا السَّبِيلُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ النَّاسَ [الشورى: 42]
The path is only upon those who oppress people [Al-Shura: 42]
Allah says
وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلَا يُسْرِف فِّي الْقَتْلِ ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَنصُورًا (33)
And whoever is killed unjustly, We have given his guardian authority, Let him not be extravagant in killing, for he will be victorious (33)
Thirdly: (Injustice that God forgives)
Injustice between a person and himself
Allah says
﴿ ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۖ فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْهُم ... الآية
﴿Then We made the Book bequeathed to those whom We had chosen from among Our servants. And among them is wrongdoer to himself, and among them is... the verse.
Allah says
قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَأَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ﴾ [ سورة النمل: 44]
She said, “My Lord, I have wronged myself, and I submitted with Solomon to God, Lord of the worlds.” [Surat An-Naml: 44]
Allah says
﴿ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا﴾ [ سورة النساء: 64]
“And We did not send any messenger except to be obeyed by God’s permission, and if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you and asked forgiveness from God, and the Messenger asked forgiveness for them, they would have found God Forgiving, Merciful. (Surat An-Nisa: 64)
All three of these are in fact injustice to the soul; When a person is first concerned with injustice, he has wronged himself, so the oppressor is always a beginner in injustice,
That is why God Almighty said in more than one place:
Allah says
وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللّهُ وَلـكِن كَانُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ [النحل:33]
And God did not wrong them, but it was they who wronged themselves. [An-Nahl: 33]
Allah says
وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَـكِن كَانُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ [البقرة:57]
And they did not wrong us, but they wronged themselves. [Al-Baqarah: 57]
Allah says
وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُواْ إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ [الأنعام:82] )
And they did not cloak their faith with injustice [Al-An’am: 82].
The characteristics of the oppressor
1 - Denying God’s verses and turning away from them
Allah says
(وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَّا الظَّالِمُونَ). [العنكبوت: 49
(And none deny Our verses except the wrongdoers.) [Al-Ankabut: 49
Denial: denying the truth despite knowing it
What this means is: God - Blessed and Most High - sees that the oppressors have a strange characteristic, which is to deny the truth even though they know it, and how much have you been through life? That is, how old are you now? Did you know something true and you denied it for a reason hidden within yourself? ? Are you unjust then? We all have to answer this question, why? Because the truth has its people, and because being fair to oneself is the highest degree of sincerity with God Almighty, we all love the truth and its people, even if we are not among its people, but few of us, if the truth is upon us, are fair to others from ourselves, Is it a little or less than a little!!! Do you remember someone's saying: If we speak, we all have principles, and if we act, we all have interests? We ask Allah for forgiveness.
2- The violating the limits of God Almighty
The oppressor is the person who transgresses God’s limits and prohibitions and does not abide by them, but rather the matter leads him to transgressing God’s limits, orders, and prohibitions.
Life is full of great difficulties and challenges, so do not see yourself as a hero in a time of well-being. Rather, heroism is in a time of temptation with which God tempts His servants until He distinguishes the bad from the good. At that time, it is the time of your internal earthquake. You specifically recognize whether you are transgressing the limits of God and throwing them behind your back, or making them... In front of you and do not exceed it.
3- Th ruling by something other than what God Almighty has revealed
It is considered the height of injustice for a ruler or judge to rule far from what God Almighty has revealed, as God Almighty says:
Allah says
(وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ)[٣]. [المائدة: 45]
(And whoever does not judge by what God has revealed - those are the wrongdoers) [3]. [Al-Ma’idah: 45]
1/1366 - On the authority of Maqil bin Yasar,
may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: Worshiping in the Harj (the sound of people mixed in fighting and strife) is like a migration to Me. Narrated by Muslim.
What do I mean by this hadith?
Now we are governed by rulers, some of whom fear God and some who do not, and we are not only governed as Arabs, but politics comes from above, like capitalism, then, we are being ruled globally and no one can escape from this, and whoever tries will be destroyed and his country will be ruined. So what is the solution in this verse: I believe, and God knows best, who rules by what he revealed himself in the privacy of his home or the confines of his small circle, or the big one. The husband and father is a judge in his house who rules by what God has revealed, and the judge is a judge in his house and then a judge in the circle of cases brought before him, and so on. Of course, God is Most High and All-Knowing.
4- Following the infidels and pleasing them
Allah says
{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تُطِيعُوا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوا خَاسِرِينَ (149) ال عمران)
{O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, so you will turn back losers. (149) Al Imran)
Heels: the bone of the back of the foot and what follows the heels
A special call from the Lord of the Worlds to a group of people
small and not large (believers), the true faith with which God Almighty is pleased. He says to this group: If you obey those who disbelieved in the God of heaven, Allah - the Most High the outcome will be that they will turn you back on your heels, and the heels, as mentioned above, are at the backs of the feet, It is as if the meaning is that they built a structure called faith, as if it were the body, and it brought them back to the place of their heels again, as if they had demolished the structure and would start from scratch again, Then God Almighty tells them, so they turn: that is, they turn from one state to another, after having been successful (you will reap what you have sown: on the contrary, you will become losers), which is what neither the farmers nor the merchants like. and God is superior and knows best.
5 - The arrogance to the religion
Allah says
( سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ آيَاتِيَ الَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ ) {سورة الأعراف}
(I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant in the land unjustly) {Surat Al-A'raf}
What is the importance of the verses of God Almighty? If you are walking somewhere for the first time alone and your phone is out of charge, and no one is with you, the sign on this road is the only potential lifeline, right? God has the highest ideal, for life is full of ideologies (an intellectual approach) and the temptations, both apparent and hidden, make the wise person perplexed, and yet some people maintain their belief in the God of Heaven. Why? Because he believed in the signs of God when he saw them himself and was certain of their effects in his life, so God benefited him with them, which are like:
1 - To become and learn a social science that supports the Qur’an, like a spider’s web in Surah ( Al Ankabot: the spider)
2 - or environmental science supports that you take off your shoes for a while, such as the Prophet’s commandment to bare foot even if only for a little while, which is what Grounding or Earthing supports.
3 - Or survive a major calamity from which no one saves you except God. Many people cross the sea, but few survive, for example, in the strong waves and for sure more than that.
Now the verse tells us that God Almighty (will turn away from such verses) those who are arrogant on earth without right, so it is a punishment, isn’t it?
And so is what God Almighty says
( تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا ۚ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ) {سورة القصص – 83}
(This is the home of the Hereafter, We assign it to those who do not desire exaltation on earth nor corruption. And the final outcome is for the righteous.) {Surat Al-Qasas - 83}
There are two worlds that only those who believe in the God of heaven know. Believers on earth are many, but only a few believe in the God of heaven. The rest either believe in earthly gods, animals, stars, or other things. Do not say this was in the past, but rather until now, There are religions that are a mixture of religions, and their number or extent is known only to God Almighty, and some of their followers are forced into them - may God protect us - and are subjected to death or torment simply because they want to get out of them. Muslim believers have two homes, a home here and a home there (the afterlife), the home of recompense. The afterlife has conditions for entry. It is as if it is a password that cannot be accessed without it, which is (Height in the ground) Note: they are not exalted in the first place or will become exalted on earth because of a position or prestige, no, no, but rather just (the will) to be exalted on earth, and the other password is non-corruption, where is there? not here the outcome in the end is for the righteous. Who are the righteous according to your understanding of the verse? Are they the ones who just don't look at women? Are they just praying on time? Did you? Yes, these are the characteristics of the righteous, but God Almighty begins the verse with two conditions, (Not being arrogant, rising above God’s creation, and not being corrupt) What does this have to do with piety? Piety, sir, is in your heart. Neither a close angel nor a sent prophet knows it when the Messenger referred to piety, He pointed to his honorable chest and said it three times: Piety is here, isn't it? So piety here is transactions, not worship, right? (Pride: Transactions or Worship) (Corruption in anything that is not corrupt: Worship or Transactions).
Is it permissible to pray against the oppressor?
On the authority of Ibn Abbas - may God be pleased with them both - he said: “The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, performed Qunoot for a successive month, during the noon, afternoon, sunset, evening, and morning prayers, At the end of every prayer, if he says: God hears whoever praises Him in the last rak’ah, He calls upon the survivors of Banu Sulaym, upon the Ra'l, the Sufwan, and Asyih, And those behind him say Ameen. Narrated by Abu Dawud (1443)
And in a statement by Muslim (679): “O God, curse the Banu Lahyan, Ra’l, Dhakwan, and the rebels who disobeyed God and His Messenger.”
We benefit from the following noble hadith
1 - Raal - Dhakwan - Asiya: These are neighborhoods that existed in the Arabian Peninsula.
2 - Why did the Messenger of God - the Almighty - pray against them because - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - he sent 6 messengers to them, and they killed 5 or 4, and two or one fled away.
3 - Why was the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, invited against all the tribes and not just the killers? Because none of them rose up to support them, and the common people say about that: “Silence is a sign of contentment.
4 - So it is possible, if you are wronged, to seek victory for yourself through supplication, and how is that possible? It was stated in Al-Tanwir ‘Ala Al-Jami’ Al-Saghir by Al-San’ani: “Whoever supplicates against the one who wronged him has declared victory for himself, and there is no reward left for him against his oppressor, nor is he entitled to another punishment from him.
Ahmad and Abu Dawud narrated on the authority of Ata’, on the authority of Aisha, that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to her: She prayed for a thief who stole her blanket, so do not make a fool of him by praying against him, It means do not relieve him of the sin he deserves by stealing. This indicates that the oppressor is relieved by the supplication of the oppressed against him. I finish.
5 - We benefit from the hadith of Mrs. Aisha: Do not reduce the punishment for those who wronged you by asking God to return your injustice to you.
The calling of the oppressed
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (The supplication of the oppressed person is carried on the clouds, and the gates of the heavens are opened for it, And the Lord, Blessed and Most High, says: By my might, I will certainly victory you, even if after a while.
Imagine, my unjust brother - you are still my brother - in humanity - that if you wronged someone in this life and he prayed against you, this prayer would be raised as if one of the angels was carrying it, so it would rise and rise to the Heaven, until it is carried on the clouds and travels to what God wills, then the gates of heaven are opened for it, and when it reaches God - the Almighty - it is received with warmth and not received with expulsion as in this world, (and prays by His glory and majesty) that He will grant victory to this call, even after a while.
It was reported on the authority of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace:
(Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, even if he is an unbeliever, for there is no veil against it.)
Even the infidel whom you oppress, there is no veil between God and his supplication, and do not say that the Jews and Christians are infidels, for infidelity is very, very numerous on earth. If you encounter a Buddhist in your work and you hate him for what he does against Muslims, may God help him over you. Why, because of the principle of injustice in itself, it is not permissible. In Islamic law.
The punishment of the oppressor
1 - The oppressor is excluded from guidance
Allah says
إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ [المائدة: 51] .
Indeed, God does not guide the wrongdoing people [Al-Maeda: 51].
2- The oppressor will not succeed
Allah says
: إِنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ [الأنعام:21] .
Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed [Al-An’am: 21].
3- The oppressor is cursed by God
Allah says
يَوْمَ لا يَنفَعُ الظَّالِمِينَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ [غافر: 52
On the Day when their excuse will not benefit the wrongdoers, and upon them is the curse, and for them is an evil abode. [Ghafir: 52]
4 - The oppressor is deprived of intercession
Allah says
مَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَلا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ [غافر: 18]،
The wrongdoers have no protector or intercessor to be obeyed [Ghafir: 18].
And he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “There are two types of my nation who will not receive my intercession: an extremely oppressive imam, and every excessive rogue)
5- The supplication of the oppressed person hits him and does not miss him
He, peace and blessings be upon him, said
((Fear the call of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and God)).
6- Through injustice, security increases
Allah says
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُواْ إِيمَانَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمُ الأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ [الأنعام:82].
Those who believe and do not mix their faith with wrongdoing - for them is security, and they will be guided [Al-An'am: 82].
7- Injustice is a cause of calamity and punishment
Allah says
فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَاهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ فَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَى عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئْرٍ مُّعَطَّلَةٍ وَقَصْرٍ مَّشِيدٍ [الحج:45]
How many towns have We destroyed while they were unjust, For it is void of its thrones, a broken well, and a constructed palace. [Al-Hajj: 45]
Allah says
وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ [هود:102] .
And thus did your Lord take when He took the towns when it is unjust. Indeed, taking him is very painful [Hud: 102].
8- The oppressor threatened to enter Hell
On the authority of Khawla Al-Ansariyya, may God be pleased with her, she said: I heard the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, say: ((Indeed, there are men who engage in the wealth of God without right, and for them will be Hell on the Day of Resurrection))
Ibn Hajar said
(His saying - in both dictionaries - they engage in the wealth of God without right, meaning: they dispose of the wealth of Muslims wrongfully.
How does God Almighty take the right from the oppressor?
1 - The accelerate punishment
Where the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: (There is nothing in which I obey God - the Almighty - more quickly in reward than maintaining ties of kinship, and there is nothing in which obey God more quickly in punishment, from exceeding the limit and severing family ties.
Misguidance by God Almighty Also, God - Glory be to Him - said in the Holy Qur’an that He misleads the wrongdoers in this worldly life, and does not guide them to righteousness and righteousness.
2 - Give him a deadline
God - Glory be to Him - decreed that people give respite to the oppressor and not hasten their punishment. There are many rulings, including: luring the oppressor so that God Almighty takes him into the ugliest condition and most heinous form, and in that
Allah says
(إِنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُوا إِثْمًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِين)
(We only give them respite so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.)
The Muslim’s duty towards the oppressor is as follows
1 - Providing advice to the oppressor and deterring him from his injustice
Hadith of Anas, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: victory your brother, whether he is an oppressor or an oppressed person. A man said: O Messenger of God, victory him if he is oppressed, Have you seen if he is an oppressor, how can I victory him? He said: You detain him or prevent him from injustice, for that is his victory. Narrated by Al-Bukhari
What is the punishment for someone who does not support the oppressed?
Knowing that abandoning taking at the hands of the oppressor is a sign of collective punishment, based on what God Almighty says
Allah says
وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَّا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنكُمْ خَاصَّةً ۖ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ(25)
And beware of a trial that will not strike especially those of you who have wronged, and know that God is severe in punishment (25)
According to the saying of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace:
((Indeed, if people see an oppressor and do not take him by the hand, God is about to genelaised them with His punishment.))
