Injustice and Oppression: Imam Ali (as), Part 2

Indeed the ugliness in injustice is equivalent to the beauty in justice

Injustice is [the cause of divine] punishment

Oppression takes away blessing

Injustice brings [divine wrath and] chastisement

Injustice has adverse consequences

Oppression puts an end to blessings

Injustice drives away blessings

Oppression brings [divine wrath and] chastisements

Injustice causes one to enter hellfire

Oppression leads to destruction

Injustice is the most wicked vice

Injustice is the ruination of the populace

Power is expunged by aggression

Injustice has a series of destructive consequences

Oppression is the quickest thing to be punished

Injustice destroys homes

Injustice destroys the one who practices it

Oppression dives [one] towards utter destruction

Injustice is a crime that cannot be forgotton

Oppression causes the downfall of men and brings [their] deaths closer

When power prompts you to be unjust to the people, then remember the power of Allah, the Glorified, to punish you; and [recall the fact] that what you have brought upon them will depart from them while it will remain with you

By injustice blessings are removed

By oppression, chastisement is brought down

How bad an injustice is the injustice to one who is submissive!

How evil a provision for the Hereafter is oppressiveness to the servants [of Allah]!
