How Allah destroys the power of wicked people!, By Murtadha Gusau

Within the identify of Allah, might His peace and blessings be upon His remaining Messenger, Muhammad, his household, and his companions.

All reward be to the One which has granted His servants some victories in opposition to one of the brutal oppressors of our time.

Pricey brothers and sisters! Allah the Almighty says:

“And by no means suppose that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers, oppressors, evil males and depraved folks do. He solely delays them for a Day when their eyes will stare [in horror].” [Qur’an, 14:42]

The information coming of the autumn of Bashar al-Assad’s brutal grip over Aleppo and surrounding areas is one thing that we should always all present thanks for.

The scenes of captives being launched from dungeons after years of torture and imprisonment, and refugees that fled persecution lastly in a position to return to their properties, is definitely heartwarming.

We thank Allah Almighty that oppression is being lessened.

There has reportedly been a lot misinformation being unfold; now Syrian persons are on the lookout for recommendation on the way to act at the moment, not complain.

First, we ask Allah Almighty that He chooses the very best final result for the Syrian folks.

They’ve been struggling tremendously for the final 5 a long time, and their specific ordeal is of an particularly brutal diploma that maybe no others have endured by the hands of their very own regimes.

Whether or not it was the daddy, Hafez Al-Assad or his son who inherited his brutality after him, this regime is infamous for being one of the brutal — if not essentially the most brutal — in the complete world.

We have to do not forget that the land of al-Sham is a land of barakah (blessed land), a land of Islam. And any honest Muslim must be comfortable on the oppression in opposition to his brothers and sisters being eliminated.

Certainly, each single Muslim ought to really feel comfortable and present because of Allah for any discount within the energy of an oppressor of the likes of this regime, with the blood of 600,000 folks on their palms.

Bashar Al-Assad despatched a whole bunch of hundreds~ maybe thousands and thousands on assylum to Sweden, Finland, Poland, UK and plenty of different nations since 2011 when he and Russia had three years of killing Syrians he referred to as dissidents.

54 years of dynasty. Al-Assad was essentially the most brutal. If anybody in Syria instructed Bashar Al-Assad he’d be looking for assylum in 2024, such an individual gained’t stay. Immediately he and his household are in Moscow underneath asylum. Wallahi energy and instances are topic to alter.

It’s deeply sorrowful that Bashar Al-Assad, a UK-trained ophthalmologist, who had the potential to deliver imaginative and prescient and hope to his folks, has as an alternative contributed to the literal and figurative blinding of Syrians via the destruction and struggling wrought by the struggle he has perpetuated.

Not like man-made norms and ethics, oppression and injustice is a pink line for Muslims, no matter who commits it.

Allah Almighty says:

“O you who’ve believed, be persistently standing agency for Allah, witnesses in justice, and don’t let the hatred of a folks forestall you from being simply. Be simply; that’s nearer to righteousness. And concern Allah; certainly, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.” [Qur’an, 5:8]

That is the distinctive attribute of help and allyship in Islam, you don’t help your ally in oppression, in contrast to what we see animating different powers on the earth immediately.

The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) stated:

“Assist your brother, whether or not he’s an oppressor or an oppressed.” A person requested, “O Allah’s Messenger! I’ll assist him if he’s oppressed, but when he’s an oppressor, how shall I assist him?” The Prophet (Peace be upon him) stated, “By stopping him from oppressing [others], for that’s the way to assist him.” [Bukhari]

Allah the Most Excessive says:

“And [all] faces can be humbled earlier than the Ever-Residing, the Sustainer of existence. And he may have failed who carries injustice.” [Qur’an, 20:111]

And He the Almighty additionally warns:

“Absolutely, Allah’s condemnation is upon the wrongdoers (unjust folks).” [Qur’an, 11:18]

Revered brothers and sisters! I’ve encountered many oppressors, many evil males and depraved folks in my life—males who, no matter purpose, had been out to destroy their folks and their nation, and even destroy the faith of Allah. I’ve watched males who’ve had zero concern for the faith of Allah however are glad to unfold mischief and wickedness, destroying every little thing of their path.

Most of those males I’ve encountered have misplaced management of one thing they cherished. Issues weren’t going their approach, and they also feverishly tried to realize their place once more. They’re a hassle at first, however they’re at all times uncovered. A scarcity of integrity will at all times present itself.

Allah is similar yesterday, immediately, and ceaselessly. Oppressors, Depraved males and evil folks rise and make nice noise, however they by no means win in the long run. Allah will vindicate Himself and all those that imagine in Him and worship Him.

Wallahi in case you are an oppressor, in case you are an evil man or a depraved individual doing evil issues, now repent. Flip in humility earlier than the Lord and cry out for His forgiveness and mercy. And, in case you are being stricken by oppressors, depraved and evil males, calm down. Relaxation within the Almighty Allah and wait patiently for Him. In His good timing, He’ll set you free and cope with your enemies as certainly as evening follows day In Shaa Allah!

Pricey servants of Allah! In lots of the Qur’anic verses containing warnings for many who do mischief and disobey Allah, Allah mentions His punishment of the oppressors, depraved folks, evil males and evil-doers on this world in addition to the punishment which He has ready for them within the subsequent life.

In different verses, He mentions solely the punishments of the subsequent life, as a result of its punishment is way larger, and its reward is way larger, and it’s the place of permanence. So, when the punishments of this world are talked about, they’re secondary to the mentioning of the punishments of the subsequent life, as within the following story of Prophet Yusuf (Peace be upon him). Allah Almighty says:

“On this approach we empowered Yusuf within the earth, he strikes therein wherever he pleases. We won’t negate the reward of those that do good, and the reward of the subsequent life is healthier for many who imagine, and used to concern Allah.” [Surah Yusuf: 56-57]

“And so Allah gave them the reward of this life, and the very best of rewards for the subsequent life.” [Surah Al-Imran:148]

“And those that migrated for the sake of Allah after they’d been oppressed, we’ll set up them within the earth in a goodly style, and the reward of the subsequent life is larger, in the event that they solely knew. Those that have endurance, and rely totally on their Lord.” [Surah An-Nahl: 41-42]

Allah stated about Prophet Ibrahim (upon him be peace) in one other verse:

“And we gave him his reward on this life, and verily he’s among the many righteous within the subsequent life.” [Surah An-Nahl: 122]

As for what Allah has talked about in regards to the punishment of this life and the subsequent, we will look to Surah An-Nazi’at wherein He Almighty stated:

“By these (angels) who violently tear out (the souls of the depraved at loss of life). And by those that gently draw out (the souls of the righteous at loss of life).” [Surah An-Nazi’at: 1-2]

After which, in the identical Surah, Allah the Most Excessive stated:

“On that day when the nice trembling and quaking happens (upon the primary sounding of the Horn, which indicators Allah’s placing to loss of life of all creation). Which is adopted by one other, comparable (the second sounding of the Horn, which indicators the bringing to lifetime of the entire creation).” [Surah An-Nazi’at: 6-7]

By which He talked about the day of Al-Kiyamah typically, after which He stated: “Has the story of Musa reached you? When his Lord referred to as him within the sacred valley of Tuwa. (Saying) Go to Pharaoh (Fir’aun), for verily he has transgressed. And say to him: Do you’ve any want to be purified? And that I ought to information you to your Lord in order that you need to concern Him? Then Musa confirmed him the Nice Signal. However Pharaoh (Fir’aun) rejected and disobeyed. Then he turned away, striving arduous (in opposition to the reality). Then he collected his forces, and made a proclamation. Saying: I’m your lord, most excessive. So Allah destroyed him, and made an instance of him within the hereafter, and on this life. Verily on this there may be an instructive warning for many who concern Allah.” [Surah An-Nazi’at: 15-26]

Then, Allah talked about the place of starting, and the place of return intimately saying:

“Are you harder to create or the heavens? Allah has constructed them. He raised excessive the cover, and gave it order and perfection… And so, when the nice overwhelming occasion arrives (i.e. Al-Kiyama). On that day, man will keep in mind all that he used to attempt for. And hell-fire can be made plainly seen for all who see. Then, as for the one who transgressed. And most popular the lifetime of this world. Verily (for such) the fireplace is the ultimate abode. And as for many who had concern of their standing earlier than their Lord, and forbid themselves the dictates of their wishful want. Verily the Backyard (of Paradise) is their remaining abode.” [Surah An-Nazi’at: 27-28, 34-41]

Additionally, in Surah al-Muzammil, Allah mentions His personal assertion:

“And go away me with those that deny the reality, who possess the nice issues of this life, and go away them for a short while. Verily, we have now fetters (to bind them) and fireplace (to burn them). And meals that chokes, and a painful punishment. In the future, the earth and the mountains will tremble and quake, and the mountains can be like a heap of sand poured out and flowing down. Verily, we have now despatched to you a Prophet as a witness over you, simply as we despatched to Fir’aun a Prophet. However Fir’aun disobeyed the Prophet, so we seized him with a heavy punishment.” [Surah Al-Muzammil: 11-16]

Additionally, in Surah Al-Haqqah, Allah Almighty mentions the tales of the disbelieving nations comparable to Thamud, Aad, and Pharaoh (Fir’aun), after which says:

“When a single blast is sounded on the Horn. And the earth and the mountains are lifted up and crushed to powder at a single stroke.” [Surah Al-Haqqah: 13-14]

Then, in verses 15-37 Allah describes the folks of heaven and hell, and their situation on the day of Al-Kiyamah and after.

In Surah Al-Qalam, Allah mentions the story of the homeowners of the backyard (i.e. farm) who conspired to withhold the rights of the poor from them and had been punished by the destruction of their crop. Then Allah the Most Excessive says:

“Such is the punishment, and the punishment of the hereafter is of larger magnitude, in the event that they solely knew.” [Surah Al-Qalam: 33]

Once more, in Surah At-Taghabun, Allah the Most Excessive says:

“Didn’t the information attain you of those that rejected religion (Iman) earlier than? They tasted the outcomes of their actions, and for them is a painful punishment. That was as a result of Messengers used to return to them with clear indicators, however they stated: Ought to mere human beings information us? So that they rejected religion, and turned away. And Allah is in no want. Allah is freed from all wants, worthy of all reward. The disbelievers think about that they won’t be raised up (for judgement) Say: Sure, by my Lord, you’ll be raised up, then you’ll be knowledgeable of all that you just did, and that’s very simple for Allah.” [Surah At-Taghabun: 5-7]

Allah has talked about the situation of those that oppose and disobey the Prophets, in addition to the threatened punishments which await them within the hereafter in lots of chapters of the Qur’an. Amongst them: Surahs Qaf, Al-Qamar, Al-Mu’minun, As-Sajdah, Az-Zukhruf, Advert-Dukhan, and plenty of others.

Pricey brothers and sisters! Whether or not your status that has been wrongly tarnished, your ex has disadvantaged you from seeing your youngsters, members of the family, shut buddies or your leaders stole from you, you’ve been displaced from a land, or have been unjustly imprisoned, it isn’t a dead-end as long as your expectations in Allah are nice. It’s because the Prophet (Peace be upon him) stated:

“Watch out for the Du’a of the oppressed, as it’s carried into the clouds. Allah says to it, ‘I swear by my glory and honour, I’ll reply you even when after a while.’” [Al-Tabarani, on the authority of Khuzaimah Bin Thabit]

The gates of the heavens are open for such a Du’a and no barrier stands between it and Allah, even when the oppressed is a rebellious sinner. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) stated:

“The Du’a of the oppressed is answered even when he’s a sinner, for his sins solely have an effect on him.” [Al-Tayalisi, on the authority of Abu Hurairah]

Fairly, even when the oppressed is a non-believer, Allah will honour his cries, because the Prophet (Peace be upon him) stated:

“Watch out for the Du’a of the oppressed even when he’s a non-believer, for no limitations stand earlier than it.” [Ahmad, on the authority of Anas]

One clever poet stated:

“Worry the Du’a of the oppressed, as it’s fast to ascend into the sky, and produce again down with it a descending punishment.”

So let all of the oppressors, all of the depraved males and all of the evil folks be very cautious! What occurred to Bashar Al-Assad, and what did occurred in Ghana’s elections are all classes to all of us!! This energy may be very short-term. And keep in mind, wallahi in case you are in energy immediately, tomorrow you aren’t, it have to be the flip of one other individual!!!

And you’ll reap all what you’ve sowed.

Lastly, expensive brothers and sisters! All honest Muslims, all around the world ought to pray and ask Allah Almighty to assist our Syrian brothers and sisters, to information them, and to guard them in opposition to all evil and hurt, ameen.

All good reward is because of Allah, Lord of the worlds. Might the peace, blessings and salutations of Allah be upon our noble Messenger, Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and upon his household, his Companions and his true followers.
