Is it allowed to make dua against the
oppressors?
Because I went quiet. Why? Are you afraid?
Yes. Are you afraid of the oppressors?
Islam.
Is it allowed to make dua against the
oppressors,
the abusers,
those who are,
unfortunately taking advantage of the weak and the
vulnerable?
Is it?
Is it is it allowed to make it
specific
by mentioning people by name?
So this is a discussion for this dua
that we have in the Quran in Surat
Nuh, chapter 71,
ayaat from 26 until 28, which is the
the end of the Surah, 26 through 28.
The dua or the words of Nuhari Salam
as Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala documented for us
and recorded for us in the Quran.
This is a very scary dua especially coming
from someone like Nuh alaihi salam. He says
Allah subhanahu reported him saying, Nuh,
supplicate and pray. My Lord,
do not leave a single disbeliever on earth
for if you spare any of them, they
will certainly mislead your servants
and give birth only, and they will give
they will give birth only to wicked sinners,
staunch disbelievers.
And he says, my lord, forgive me, my
parents, and whoever enters my house in faith
and all believing men and women and increase
the wrongdoers only in destruction.
Did you guys hear that dua?
That dua led to what?
Led to what? The flood.
Allah answered the dua wu no, alayhi salam,
a little destruction
of the people at that time
which is why the ulema today, they're asking
the question,
is it permissible to make this dua?
Like, are we allowed to use the dua
of Nuh, alayhis salam,
against our oppressors, against the disbelievers, against the
IDF for example, Muzadda,
those who take advantage of the weak and
so on. Are you allowed to make this
dua? So that's why the ulama they have
the dispute over this matter because some of
them they say,
no, you cannot.
Why?
Because Nuh himself
on the day of judgement, what is he
gonna say?
And if you own the hadith of Shafa'a,
the long hadith of Shafa'a,
Nuh alayhis salaam,
the people will be going to Adam, they
will going to Nuh, Ibrahim,
Musa, Isa, Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi salaam, asking Allah
as a will to begin the account.
And every prophet of the list that we
mentioned
will have an excuse
to spare themselves for making this making this
dua or I can't. I'm not the one
qualified for this.
What caused Nuhalaihi Salam to feel disqualified
for making that plea to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala? What was that?
This dua.
He said
he when the people come to him, You
are
the messenger of God, the first messenger ever.
You're the one who did You want this,
you're this and that.
He said, nafsi nafsi,
stay stay away from me, stay away from
me.
I worry about myself. Allah has given me
an answered call, an answered dua, and I
made it against the people.
So I fear the result of that destruction.
So that's why they say if Nuh himself
regretted that dua at some point, then he
shouldn't be doing that.
However, the other opinion says look, even the
prophet
he made dua against the disbelievers
and even made dua against these believers by
name.
He made dua against tribes
like he said,
They betrayed the emissaries, the prophet sent with
them and they killed them. So the prophet
made dua against them 40 days in salah.
Making dua against him for the people to
say I mean for it. Right?
And also the prophet
on bar in the barrel of Badr, what
did he say?
So he started calling them by name. You
Allah,
do with this person, do with this person,
take care of this person.
And all these were named in the dua
of the prophet
were killed on the battlefield.
So from that, the Anamah, they say it
is okay to make that dua against the
oppressors
and against those who
are wrongdoers.
But we're not talking about wrongdoers who wronged
you on an individual level.
Like someone, for example, cheated you with a
with a business deal or someone, you know,
hurt you with a few words away or
someone did, someone did that. I mean, it's
better for you to make dua for their
guidance.
But am I allowed to make dua against
them? May Allah do this person for what
they have hurt me so much.
You are, seems to be. But better for
them to make dua because these are non
believers. We talk about believers here right now.
But those disbelievers,
to call for a mass destruction for all
of them, that's why the ulama, they have
the issue.
Because that was the time of no, alayhis
salam and Allah gave them that answer and
that was it. Which is why, subhanallah, specifically
from the time of Musa alaihi salam,
Khallas, there was no more,
destruction for nations.
All the nations that were destroyed before like
what?
The the people of Hud, the people of
Lut, the people of They're all destroyed, those
nations.
But the nation that where that destruction stopped
was at the time of Musa alaihi salam.
So when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave victory
to Musa against the Firaun, who was destroyed?
The Firaun and his army.
What about Egypt? Was it destroyed? It wasn't.
The people, the followers of Firaun, were they
destroyed?
No. So that destruction was removed.
So that's why you have the option to
make du'a for their guidance
or if you believe that, you know what,
where I am right now, these people, they
crossed every decent line that you can even
think of.
And like we were talking about this last
night with Sheikh Omar, he's allowed to make
dua against those oppressors in Gaza, for example,
who kill innocent people, men, women,
indiscriminately
and having joy
practicing
their shooting skills on them. Absolutely.
Those people just say may Allah curse them.
May they be cursed. Maybe they destroyed.
May Allah do with them and show us
an example in their destruction
because they've crossed every single offensive
line whether it's actually moral,
religious,
and even international law.
And they heed for nothing.
So, there is no justice that's gonna bring
them to their knees except for the divine
justice of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So, you're
the advocates.
So you make dua for them basically for
the for to bring justice for the oppressed.
So therefore,
this dua,
be careful
using it. As we practice it, like I
said,
you don't use it for anybody.
But if if there is a situation where
there's a great injustice and oppression
from those,
yeah, disbelievers,
then definitely make that dua against them. What
about against a Muslim
nation?
Can I make duha of destruction against a
Muslim nation?
No, you shouldn't.
You should ask for their guidance.
Ask for Allah Subhanahu to deliver them out
of this, injustice,
to bring justice on their hand.
But if someone wronged you specifically, are you
allowed to make dua against them? Of course,
Allah subhanahu says,
Allah does not like from you to express
those words, ill words of dua against others
except those who've been wronged.
Although Allah says
That if you forgive, if you overlook, if
you're, you know, have with them, that is
better for you. So take the route of
ihsan and forgiveness
better than the route of vengeance and revenge.
Again, it's allowed for you to seek that
route but it's better for you to have
that peace.
So, we're gonna make this
As you guys can see, we still have
2 more dua to cover.
