Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, 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.’

Those who believe and don’t oppress anyone are in safety here and hereafter. Safety and security are important. What people need the most are safety and security. “Mu’min” comes from that. It comes from the words “Amn” and “Aman”. They are in the safety of Allah ﷻ. They are under the protection of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

How does that happen? They should believe and not oppress anyone. They will be under guidance. This is Islam and Iman. You must not oppress anyone. And you must not oppress yourself. How not to oppress yourself? Is there anyone who oppresses himself? There are many people. Those who leave the right way and commit sins oppress themselves. And those who oppress themselves oppress others even more.

Therefore, they should have true Iman and not cause suffering to anyone. They should not cause suffering to themselves as well. When there is no Iman, you see that everyone oppresses himself and others. They do it so much that sometimes they take their own lives, and they take others’ lives. Sometimes we see that someone murders his family, his neighbors, this and that and finally commits suicide. He thinks he is saved. You are not saved. A person who thinks that he is saved with oppression is wrong. There is Akhirah. And he will get more punishment there. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ increase our Iman and may He ﷻ give strength to our Iman insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
