THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 26th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Friday, 10th November, 2023). OPPRESSION IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM. BismilLah.
AlhamdulilLah for blessing us to be among those who are part of this blessed day of the week. Some slept yesterday without any food or home. Its a sad reality that we live in a world where the oppressed are continuously being oppressed without any end and justice has become a word that we can only ever say, but never physically or successfully see come to pass for us to witness .
From Palestinians fighting for their rights, lands, and homes, to young women being denied the right to wear their hijabs, oppression can come in many forms. And whether that oppression is coming from a Muslim or a non-Muslim, it is heartbreaking and anger-inducing for everyone who witnesses that oppression.
We feel the unfairness when our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters continue to be oppressed while the world stays quiet. We witness the prejudice and unjust ways in which powerful countries ally themselves with the oppressors and give them ‘ammunition’ to continue oppressing the innocent. Many Muslim countries are muted in action. ALLAH is sufficient for HIS servants anyway.
But what do our Islamic scriptures from Quran and Hadith have to say about oppression? The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us that ALLAH says, “O My slaves, I have forbidden zulm (injustice, wrongdoing, unfairness) to Myself and I have made it haram (forbidden) amongst you, so do not wrong one another.” [Hadith Qudsi, narrated by Muslim].
ALLAH says in the Qur'an:
And think not that ALLAH is unaware of what the oppressors do. He only grants them respite until the day the eyes will stare in horror. [QURAN, 14:42]. Every action that is committed in this world is being seen by the Almighty. And it is only a matter of time before ALLAH (SWT) deals with the oppressors accordingly. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences.THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Jumuat. 26th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1445AH (Friday, 10th November, 2023).
