Oppression Doesn’t Last

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.’

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says that those who believe and do not oppress are guided ones. They are beneficial for people. Those who oppress are neither under guidance, nor with perfect Iman. They make up things according to their own minds, and talk about the religion and Islam in order to oppress people. Their main goal is to oppress people. There is no oppression in Islam. There is justice in Islam. And when there is justice, there is no oppression. When there is no justice, certainly there is oppression.

The biggest thing shaytan is striving for all the time now in order to remove Islam is to lead Muslims astray and make them oppress others. Those who oppress think they are doing something important. They say, “Muslims are not Muslims. They don’t know Islam, we will teach them Islam. Who won’t learn, we will kill them and remove them. There’s no mercy for them”.

There is not such a thing in Islam. Islam is the religion of mercy, the religion of justice and beauty. Shukr to Allah ﷻ, so are the people who follow our Holy Prophet ﷺ and take him ﷺ as an example. They cannot stand alone. They must certainly follow Tariqah and Madhhab so that they know what they do. Those who act according to their own minds, saying “I don’t accept any Madhhab” follow shaytan, their desires and egos. They do all kinds of evil unknowingly. They harm people and their families. They harm everyone and themselves on top of all. May Allah ﷻ protect us from such people.

They are like a contagious disease. They put doubt and suspicion in people’s hearts. They darken the hearts in every way. And they think they are doing something important through all kinds of evil. Whereas if they think, if they show humbleness and follow someone, if they follow someone who knows, they will be saved. And people will be saved from their evil; but unfortunately.

We ask that Allah ﷻ extinguishes them. To extinguish them meaning they either reach guidance, or Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla will extinguish them otherwise. Oppression doesn’t last. No oppressors will be left. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla has given them their judgement. He says, “Oppression doesn’t last.” With the permission of Allah ﷻ, it is good tidings for us. The owner of justice will come and put everyone on the right way insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
