Injustice and oppression: Imam Ali (as) - Part 4

Injustice to orphans and widows brings down divine wrath and takes away the blessings from those who possess them

In tyranny there is transgression

The destruction of the populace is in tyranny

How many a blessing has been removed by injustice!

Injustice is enough of a dispeller of blessing and an invoker of chastisement

Oppression is sufficient for the removal of blessing

There is nothing that is more summoning of the removal of blessing and the hastening of chastisement than remaining steadfast upon injustice

One who is praised for injustice is being plotted against [and deceived]

One whose injustice is excessive, his regret is abundant

Whoever unsheathes the sword of oppression [on the people], his head becomes its sheath

One of the most grievous injustices is the injustice of [or against] the honourable ones

Do not make the nobles desirous of your cruelty [in their favour over those who oppose them]

Do not stretch out your hand against one who is unable to stave it off from himself

Never oppress one who has no helper except Allah

Consider not the injustice of the one who is unjust to you as grave, for indeed his striving only harms himself and benefits you; and it is not the reward of one who pleases you that you should offend him

There is no evil like injustice

There is no victory with oppression

He who does not refain from oppressing people does not believe in the Hereafter

One from whose oppression people are not safe is not safe from the punishment of Allah

A man may sleep after the loss of a child but he will not sleep under [the yoke of] oppression

Tyranny is one of the two destroyers

Injustice makes the foot slip, takes away blessings and destroys nations

Injustice in this world is ruination and in the Hereafter, [it is] destruction

Keep away from tyranny, for indeed the tyrant will not [even] smell the fragrance of Paradise

Tyranny brings negative consequences

Tyranny is the antithesis of justice

One whose violations increase, his exasperations [also] increases

Oppression is an eraser [of good deeds]

Oppression bring the quickest punishement
