wa Laa tahsabanna...

Assalaamu alaikum [Peace be to you],


The Almighty God said in his final testament:
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصَارُ
And never think that the God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].
مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُءُوسِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ ۖ وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَاءٌ
They running forward with necks outstretched, their heads uplifted, their gaze returning not towards them, and their hearts a (gaping) void!
وَأَنذِرِ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمُ الْعَذَابُ فَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا رَبَّنَا أَخِّرْنَا إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ نُّجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ الرُّسُلَ ۗ أَوَلَمْ تَكُونُوا أَقْسَمْتُم مِّن قَبْلُ مَا لَكُم مِّن زَوَالٍ
So warn mankind of the Day when the Wrath will reach them: then will the wrong-doers say: "Our Lord! respite us (if only) for a short term: we will answer Thy call, and follow the messengers!"
[But it will be said], "Had you not sworn, before, that ye should suffer no decline?"
وَسَكَنتُمْ فِي مَسَاكِنِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ الْأَمْثَالَ
And you lived among the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, and it had become clear to you how We dealt with them. And We presented for you [many] examples."
وَقَدْ مَكَرُوا مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِندَ اللَّهِ مَكْرُهُمْ وَإِن كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ الْجِبَالُ
Mighty indeed were the plots which they made, but with Allah is [recorded] their plots, even though they were such as to shake the hills!
فَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ مُخْلِفَ وَعْدِهِ رُسُلَهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ ذُو انتِقَامٍ
Never think that Allah would fail his messengers in His promise: for Allah is Exalted in power, - the Lord of Retribution.

^{translation of 14:42-47}


Whenever I read the above Qur'anic verses, I can't help but think of the oppressing powers of today's world (I don't need to name them. they are most certainly obvious) and how they terrorize the rest of the world and spread mischief as if there is no tomorrow.
He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. A nation ruling by spreading terror in the word will die with terror.
And then I remember the fate of the oppressing powers of the past, the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud, Sodom and Gomorrah... and countless are others... and how the God made them into an example for the wise. it seems wisdom and learning form the past are not part of the dictionary of today's transgressors.
Then I look at the future with hope waiting for the day we see the wickedness of the wicked turned against them, and those who stepped upon others for so long will be stepped upon by others and justice will be done...


You oppressors of the world! just wait. we are waiting as well.



FOR MUSLIMS
Supplication against oppression:
Know that there is nothing between the supplication of the oppressed and the Almighty God. be sure you call upon the God for yourself and your Muslim brothers and sisters who suffer transgression everywhere in the world:

Our Lord! Do not make us a trial for the wrongdoing people, and deliver us by Your Mercy from the subjection of the disbelieving people.
Our Lord! Pour out constancy on us and make our steps firm: Help us against those that oppress and persecute us

Our Lord! bring an end to their atrocities.
Our Lord! wreck their armies that go around killing us and spreading mischief on Earth.
Our Lord! bring justice to those wronged by them.

O God, the one whose power is over all.
Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people

O Allah! Suffice us in our wishes and inclinations.
O Allah! suffice us against anyone who oppresses us.
O Allah! suffice us against those who wish to harm us.
O Allah! Punish the Transgressors and the oppressors,
O Allah! Cause in their hearts terror and cause friction among them, and send down Your wrath and punishment on them.

O Allah! Help our believing brothers and believing sisters everywhere to gain victory over Your enemy and theirs.

O Allah! Help our brothers and sisters in Palestine, In Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Burma, in Kashmir, in Chechnya and everywhere in the world.

O Allah! Raise the standing of Islam and the Muslims and degrade the standing of Kufr and the kuffar, and Shirk and the mushrikeen.
O Allah! Destroy the enemies of the Deen, and protect the lands of Islam, O Lord of the Worlds.

O Allah! Guide us among those You guide. Grant us health and pardon among those You grant health and pardon, look after us among those You look after, grant us grace in what you have given us, and protect us from the evil of what you have ordained; for You decree and none decrees against You, and none is abased whom You befriend. And none is exalted whom You are at enmity with.
O our Lord, who is above all things sacred and exalted, all praise is Yours for what you decree. We ask Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.


I hope this was beneficial.

IN THE PICTURE:
the verse
وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ
"And never think that the God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do." written in Thuluth script.


if I am right, it is from the God. If I am wrong, it is from myself. I only did by best. so O God, forgive me.
