The Day of Judgement #21 Oppression

Oppression.

What will oppression look like on the day

of judgment?

The prophet

said,

oppression

will be darknesses on the day of judgment.

The day of judgment is dark anyway, but

it will be compounded by a person's oppression.

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is watching,

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sees

every duloom.

No matter how small your duloom is on

this duniya, on the day of judgment, Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will take that person into

account. And the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi

Wasallam said on that day if you took

a dirham or a dinar of a person,

if you took somebody pound or dollar or

you oppressed somebody, on that day the Messenger

of Allah said you won't be able to

repay that person

through a dollar or a dime or a

pound or a penny. That person will take

your good actions. Imagine this narration.

The prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam once said to

the Sahaba radiAllahu,

who is the poorest from amongst you? So

they began to enumerate individuals that they all

knew, that person, that person. The message of

Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says, not that person.

It's that person who comes on the day

of judgement and he has good actions equivalent

to the mountain of Uhud. The mountain of

Uhud goes for miles.

That's how many good actions. He will have

zakat, he will have sadaqa, he will have

salah, he will have soom, he will have

done so many good actions, but this person

had a problem.

He was a oppressor.

This person would abuse, he would swear,

He would be unjust to individuals.

So on the day of judgment when your

mother ain't gonna spare you, when your father

ain't gonna spare you,

every person that you've done a duloom

on will be lining up. And the message

of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam said the

line will be so long and his good

actions will be given to those individuals and

another person will come until all his good

actions which were equivalent to the mountain of

Uhud will all finish

and there will still be people waiting.

And then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will take

their evil sins and place it on his

shoulder until this person who came

on the day of judgment with good deeds

equivalent to the mountain of Uhud will be

dragged into the fire of Jahanuf.

Imagine

you have so many good deeds, but you

still end up in a fire at your

hand. Why?

Because

because

will be oppression,

will be darkness on the day of judgment

and this is why.

Every individual must understand

just to do good actions is not enough.

A man came to the Messenger of Allah

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and said, Messenger of

Allah I have 2 slaves,

but these slaves

sometimes they don't do the work properly, sometimes

they lie. So what I occasionally do is

I beat them. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

said remember this,

if your

punishment is greater than their

transgression

then on the day of judgment Allah will

not spare you. The man said always in

your own life that is the case and

the best thing I can do is free

them, and he freed them. No person who

has done zurum on this dunya will get

away on that day. If you think that

you are getting away with it in this

dunya, let me tell you the punishment in

the hereafter

is far greater than the punishment of this

dunya. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said a

person

who accuses

slave

of fornicating

and that person would be lashed 80 lashes

in front of the entirety

of humankind.

That day, even the animals,

will take revenge from each other.

The animal which had a horn, which struck

an animal which didn't have a horn,

that animal would take revenge.

The question may arise why are animals taking

revenge from others?

Although

animals

are not responsible for their actions they don't

have to answer for their deeds on the

day of judgment. This is because Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala wants to show the believers

that this is the justice of Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala.

And, when the Kafir sees this,

that an animal will take revenge from another

animal and then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will

tell these animals, now turn into dust and

they will all turn into dust and Allah

captures the scene in the Quran.

And the kafir will see when he sees

his outcome, when he sees the animals have

turned into dust.

I wish

I could be also turned into dust but

you won't be turned into dust. The Ulema

say,

who is this kafir

who wants to be turned into dust? The

ulama say that this is shaitan. The same

shaitan,

but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala told him to

prostrate to Adam Alaihi Wasallam. So why should

I prostrate to him? You made me out

of fire and you made him

out of clay, out of earth, out of

Today I wish I was also dust.

Today I wish I was also dust.
