The Consequences of Oppression

The Fall of the Tyrant: Allah’s Wrath

 

There is no tyrant in the history of the world who has not faced the consequences of his tyranny. Many tyrants have come and oppressed people through their cruelty. Nimrod, Abu Jahl, Utbah, Shaybah—these all committed tyranny, and they ruled over the world with their oppression. But Allah Almighty humiliated all of them, exposed their true nature, and punished them.

Allah has said:

"I give them respite, but when I seize,

My grasp is very strong, and there is no way to escape from it."

Tyranny is such a crime that anyone, whether a Muslim or a non-Muslim, can commit it against anyone else. If a Muslim oppresses a Hindu, or if a pious person oppresses a non-pious person, Allah's help will be with the oppressed. Whether the oppressed is a Muslim or a non-Muslim, Allah never tolerates oppression.

Therefore, it is our responsibility to ensure that we never commit injustice or oppression against others. Because Allah is always watching us, and He never lets the oppressors go unpunished.

The Wrath of Allah:

Hadith:

"Both the tyrant and his helper will go to Hell."

(Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 350)

This Hadith states that those who commit oppression (tyranny) and those who assist them will both be subjected to Allah’s wrath and will be punished.

Allah's Power and the Punishment of Tyrants:

Hadith:

"Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He seizes him, His grasp is very strong."

(Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 349)

This Hadith indicates that Allah gives some time and respite to the oppressor, but when He takes action, His punishment is extremely powerful, and there is no way to escape from it.
