INJUSTICE & OPPRESSION: How would you answer Allah on the Day of Judgment?

 

Injustice & Oppression

On The Day Of Judgment

How Would You Answer Allah?

Did you enjoin what is right?

Did you forbid what is wrong?

Did you fight injustice, oppression?

Did you help the victims of aggression?

Don’t you know that silent spectators

are partners of the oppressors?

(M. Javed Naseem)

وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ ٱلْقَتْلِ

“… Tumult and oppression are worse

(bigger crimes) than killing…”

(al-Quran 2:217)

In the ‘New World Order’ (meaning slavery and oppression), a few powerful but evil elements – the oppressors of the world – are controlling the lives of all other people on the planet. Justice, fairness, faithfulness, loyalty, honesty, sincerity, truthfulness and hard-work would not be appreciated, it would rather be punished. The only acceptable loyalty would be the loyalty to the oppressors – the controllers and plunderers of the world. If you raise voice or protest against injustice and oppression, you would be eliminated. Killing is not a crime for them. They slaughter humans for any reason to create fear and terror. It’s their way or no way! The Devils have become so strong and powerful that they are not only supported by the corrupt politicians and community leaders but also by the opportunist religious scholars and Muftis or Imams in the Muslim world. This is the ‘End Period’. According to the Quran, persecution, tumult and oppression are worse than killing people. Allah says:

وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلْقَتْلِ
“…For tumult and oppression

are worse than slaughter…”

(al-Quran 2:191)

How would we answer Allah on the Day of Judgment? How would we explain and what would we say if Allah asked:

What did you do when your brethren were starving to death because they had no food, water, clothing or shelter?

What did you do when other humans suffered due to Tsunami, earthquakes, fires, floods and other calamities? Did you help the victims?

What did you do when the unbelievers and the Munafiqeen unleashed the terror through killing and bloodshed in Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Egypt, Sudan, Bosnia, Yemen, Kashmir, Burma, Chechnya, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Philippines, etc.? Did you try to stop the bloodshed? Did you ward off evil aggression and fight back in the way of Allah? Did you help the Muslim victims?

What did you do when the Kaafireen were spreading viruses, AIDS, diseases and maladies in the poor countries, and made millions of dollars by selling them ‘treated water’ in the name of vaccine?

What did you do when the unbelievers were destroying your culture and misleading your future generations through TV/media, promoting nudity, sex, dance, music and labeling it as ‘culture’ or ‘talent shows’? Why did you replace the Quranic education?

Why did you disobey Allah when He repeatedly warned you in the Quran of the Shaitan (the Devil) and commanded you not to follow his footsteps?

Why didn’t you pay thanks to Allah, the Merciful, for all the blessings and bounties He bestowed upon you in this worldly life despite His reminders in the Quran?

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لاَ يَشْكُرُونَ
“….. For Allah is full of bounty to mankind,

but Most of them are ungrateful.”

(al-Quran 2:243)

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ

وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ

“And when your Lord proclaimed: If you

give thanks, I will give you more; but if you

are thankless, lo! My punishment is dire.”

(al-Quran 14:7)

I am sure you don’t have any answers to the above questions. You better start working on it and prepare some answers before it’s over. And it would be over in a few years. Guaranteed!

There is left only a small minority of pious, honest and righteous people in the world and they are doing whatever they can to guide others and wake them up. They are clinging to ‘Hope’ and hope never dies! Why? Because hope is related to Allah and He loves to help and guide humans when they cry for help. Allah has commanded us to promote good (or righteousness) and forbid evil (or wrong-doing, corruption). We should always hope for His mercy and forgiveness.

كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ

وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَوْ آمَنَ أَهْلُ ٱلْكِتَابِ

لَكَانَ خَيْراً لَّهُمْ مِّنْهُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ ٱلْفَاسِقُونَ
“You are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind,

enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong,

and believing in Allah. If only the People of the

Book had faith, it were best for them; among them

are some who have faith, but most of them are

perverted transgressors.”

(al-Quran 3:110)

We are all crying for help these days but how many of us really qualify for Allah’s help? Allah helps those who help themselves. To qualify for help, we should fight the injustice and oppression. We should obey the commands of Allah. We should try to do all we can and then leave the rest to Allah. In the meantime, we patiently persevere and pray. That’s the procedure to seek Allah’s help (except in emergency). Allah says:

يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ ٱسْتَعِينُواْ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلصَّلاَةِ

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّابِرِينَ

“O you who believe! Seek help with patient

perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with

those who patiently persevere.”

(al-Quran 2:153)

It is very unfortunate that we Muslims take neither Islam nor the Quran seriously. We take one part and leave the other. We look for easy way out and while choosing that, we don’t even care that we are disobeying Allah’s command for the other part. For example, these days every Muslim country is facing problems – some are going through the worst bloodshed ever. There is evil, wrong-doing and corruption all over. Naturally, everybody is complaining or protesting. But the question is: When things started going wrong, in the beginning of the crisis, what did we do to fix them? Did we play our part and discharge our obligations of fighting evil/corruption?

No, we did not. We let things get out of control. We are not true believers (Muslims). Allah has defined the true believers in the Holy Quran:

وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ

وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنْكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلواَةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَواةَ

وَيُطِيعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُوْلَـٰئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
“The Believers, men and women, are protectors

one of another. They enjoin what is just, and forbid

what is evil. They observe regular prayers, practice

regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger.

On them will Allah pour His mercy,

for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.”

(al-Quran 9:71)

We did not enjoin what was just/right and we did not forbid what was evil/wrong. We didn’t do our duty and now we complain because the punishment is knocking at our doors! It is too late. When there was time to stop the evil, we did not. We said it was not our problem because it was not happening to us. It has spread since then and now we are in the middle of it with no way out. The flames of the fire of evil have eventually engulfed us. Who is responsible for that? Others, of course, and not us!

The saying goes: What you sow, so shall you reap.

So, we are reaping it now!

If we repent now and turn to Allah begging for His pardon and mercy, He’ll surely forgive us. With His mercy and help we can be redirected to the right path. Just listen and follow the righteous people who are calling on you (and I am not talking about Mullahs or Jaahil promoters of religion or the bearded politicians)!

وَلْتَكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ

بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنْكَرِ وَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
“Let there arise out of you a group of people

inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right,

and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones

who are successful.”

(al-Quran 3:104)
