Muslims Must Not Oppress

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 06:82). ‘Al-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Wa Lam Yalbisū ‘Īmānahum Bizulmin ‘Ūlā’ika Lahumu Al-‘Amnu Wa Hum Muhtadūn, ‘They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided.’ The beloved people of Allah ﷻ are those who believe and don’t oppress anyone, says Allah ‘Azza waJalla. They have reached guidance. They are the beloved people of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla. Who is better: these ones or those who rebel against Allah ﷻ? Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says these ones. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “These are My beloved servants”.

People don’t understand this. They don’t think of it. There are many people who think they are clever. They are full of themselves and don’t accept the rights and words of others. However, eventually, Allah ﷻ will save His ﷻ beloved ones. He will help them. And their ends will be good both here and hereafter. The rest will be ashamed in this world and even more ashamed in Akhirah.

Therefore, be together with Allah ﷻ. Do not oppress anyone. It is not from the glory of Muslims. To be a Muslim means safety and providing peace. Those who oppress people are not Muslims but Kafirs. They oppress everyone because they don’t fear Allah ﷻ. When people don’t fear Allah ﷻ, they do all kinds of evil. People are the wildest things in this world. There are so many wild animals like snakes and scorpions. They can never be as wild as humans. They attack as much as they can eat. And they don’t go after others in order to oppress and take away their property. They don’t have such a thing.

Therefore, without Islam, people are the wildest things created here. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla tamed them with Islam. Islam spread justice all over the world. They learnt and gained everything from Islam, and then they say that they are civilized. They didn’t accept

www.hakkani.org the good things and the things they need. All sciences came out of the Qur’an. They learnt them from Islamic scholars. But they picked up what they wanted. And they didn’t take the things that teach goodness. They picked up the things that are normal and that are used in daily life. And they live with it by calling it civilization. They are going on with their badness, may Allah ﷻ protect us.

As we said, Muslims must not oppress anyone because oppression will certainly return to people. No matter how much an oppressor claims that he is strong and this and that, certainly, Allah ﷻ will question him. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May we not oppress anyone insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
