I said to   him, ‘They have become united like a single hand against me!’ He   replied, ‘{The hand of Allah is over their hands.}[Qur’an 48:10]’ I   said, ‘They are cunning!’ He replied, ‘{The evil plot does not encompass   except its own people.} [Qur’an 35:43]’ I said, ‘They belong to a  large  company.’ He replied, ‘{How many a small company has overcome a  large  company by permission of Allah The Exalted.}[Qur’an 2:249]’”. lYoosuf   ibn ’Asbaat, may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “Whoever wishes an   oppressor long life wants Allah The Exalted to be disobeyed in His   universe.” lIbn   Mas‘ood, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “When the punishment was   removed from the people of Yoonus, may Allah exalt his mention, they  all  returned the rights of others to the extent that a man would pluck a   stone out of the foundation of his house and return it to its owner.” lAbu   Thawr ibn Yazeed, may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “Using an   unlawfully acquired stone in a building is considered the beginning of   its destruction.” lA   scholar said, “Had a single stone of injustice been used in building   Paradise, the House of Eternity, it would have been ruined.” lA   sage said, “When you want to do injustice, remember the justice of   Allah The Almighty that will be executed against you. When you want to   use your strength to wrong others, remember that Allah The Exalted has   the strength to punish you. Never, be impressed by someone who sheds   blood, as his Assassin never dies.” lYazeed   ibn Haatim would say, “I fear nothing more than a person whom I  wronged  while knowing that he has no supporter but Allah The Exalted,   especially when he says, ‘Allah The Exalted is sufficient to judge   between me and you.’” lOne   day, ‘Ali ibn Al-Fudhayl wept, so he was asked why. He replied, “I  feel  sorry for those who wronged me, because they will have nothing to  say  to Allah The Almighty as an excuse.” lWhile   Sulaymaan ibn ‘Abdul-Malik was on the pulpit, a man said to him,   “Remember the Day of Announcement!” Sulaymaan descended from the pulpit   and asked the man, “And what is the Day of Announcement?” The man   answered, “Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {Then an announcer will   announce between them, “The curse of Allah be on the unjust.”}[Qur’an   7:44]” lAbu Ad-Dardaa’, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Beware of the orphan’s tears and the supplication of a wronged person.” lSome scholars state that there are three types of injustice: lUnforgivable   injustice: This type refers to Shirk, from which we seek refuge with   Allah The Exalted. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {Indeed, Allah   does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less  than  that for whom He wills.}[Qur’an 4:48] lInjustice that cannot be waived: This type refers to doing injustice to the servants of Allah The Almighty. lForgivable Injustice: This type refers to wronging oneself. lA   man passed by a person whom Al-Hajjaaj had crucified, and said, “O   Allah, your leniency with the oppressors has harmed the oppressed.” When   the man slept that night he saw in a vision that he entered Paradise,   and saw the man who had been crucified in the highest ranks of  Paradise;  then he heard a caller say, “My leniency with the oppressors  has  admitted the oppressed people to the highest ranks in Paradise.” lIt was said, “Whoever plunders others property, others will plunder his property.” lIt is said, “Whoever does injustice for long, loses power.” l‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Beware of the supplication of an oppressed man, as it is answered.” l‘Ali,   may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The previous nations were   destroyed because they kept denying people’s rights until this became   rampant, and they spread transgression until its rights were ransomed.” lIt was said, “The most evil of all wrongdoers is the one who wrongs some people for the benefit of others.” lIbn   Al-Jawzi said, “Injustice necessitates two sins: usurping others’   rights and defying Allah The Exalted with disobedience. The sin of doing   injustice is more evil than other sins because it is usually committed   against the weak, who are powerless to fend for themselves. The cause  of  injustice is the darkness of the heart; a man whose heart is lit  with  guidance would not commit injustice.” lIbn   Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said, “People unanimously   agree that the consequences of injustice are dire and that the outcomes   of justice are good.” He also said that, “Allah The Exalted grants   victory to a just state even if it is a non-Islamic state, and lets an   unjust state be defeated, even if it is an Islamic state.” Causes of Injustice   A- The devil: Allah The Almighty Says (what means):   {O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely  [and perfectly]  and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is  to you a clear  enemy.} [Qur’an 2:208]  {Satan has overcome  them and made them forget the  remembrance of Allah. Those are the party  of Satan. Unquestionably, the  party of Satan - they will be the  losers.} [Qur’an 58:19] B- A persistent  evil-enjoining soul; Allah The Almighty  Says (what means):{Indeed, the  soul is a persistent enjoiner of  evil.}[Qur’an 12:53] C- Personal inclination; Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just.} [Qur’an 4:135]   {But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and  prevented the  soul from [unlawful] inclination, then indeed, Paradise  will be [his]  refuge.}[Qur’an 79:40, 41]  {…and do not obey  one whose heart We have made heedless  of Our remembrance and who  follows his desire.} [Qur’an 18:28] There  many other similar verses. </blockquote>
