WHO ARE YOU?
Abu Hurayrah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah SAW asked, “Do you know who the bankrupt are?
They said, “The one without money or goods is bankrupt.”
So the Prophet SAW said, “ The bankrupt are those from my nation who come on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting, and charity, but comes also insulting, slandering, consuming wealth, shedding blood, and beating others. They will each be given from his good deeds; if his good deeds run out before the score is settled, their bad deeds will be cast upon him, then he will be thrown into the Hellfire. ” (Muslim)
Every action that Prophet Muhammad SAW mentioned in the above narration is a form of oppression. How common are these acts today and how lightly they are taken! While the reality is that they can cause our destruction!
This is what should scare any Muslim. Not only are we negligent of oppressing others, those of us who are more aware of our actions have no concern for the rest of the ummah! Even if we are not carrying out oppression ourselves, it is our religious and moral obligation to eradicate dhulm from the ummah. Our heedlessness is such that neither are we wary of committing oppression, nor about stopping it in our societies.
If we are not busy rectifying the condition of the and eradicating the oppression, we are just as guilty and are considered in front of Allah SWT!In this time and age, we are all dhalim at different levels and stages. May Allah SWT have mercy on us!
