Injustice and Oppression: Imam Ali (as) - (Part 1)


In times of injustice, remember the justice of Allah with you and when you are powerful [recall] the power of Allah over you


Beware of oppression, for verily it brings [divine] retribution, dispels blessings and causes changes in circumstances

Distance yourselves from injustice, for indeed it is the greatest of wrongdoings and the biggest of sins

Keep away from injustice, for whoever acts unjustly, his days are abhored

Keep away from injustice, for indeed it will depart from the one whom you oppress and will remain upon you

Keep away from oppression, for verily it hastens one's downfall and causes tears [of regret and sorrow] to flow from the one who acts upon it

Keep away from injustice, for it is the biggest sin; and verily the unjust iwll surely be chastised on the Day of Resurrection because of his injustice

Keep away from oppression, for verily Allah hastens chastisement for the oppressor and sends down exemplary punishments upon him

Avoid the downfalls of transgression, the disgraces of deceit and the arousal of the latent, reprehensible evil

The most loathsome of traits is aggression

The quickest thing is the downfall of an oppressor

The vilest oppression is [that which is precitised] when one has power

The vilest transgression is transression against the intimate [friends]

The most loathsome injustice is your withholding the rights of Allah

The most tyranical person is he who oppresses the one who is fair to him

The actions that are most effective in bringing chastisement are oppression and ingratitude for blessings

Verily the evil that brings the quickest retribution is injustice
