Oppression (ظلم, ẓulm) is one of the gravest sins in Islam, encompassing any form of injustice, wrongdoing, or harm inflicted upon others. Islam’s core message revolves around justice, mercy, and the protection of human dignity, making the condemnation of oppression clear and unequivocal.

Types of Oppression in Islam
Oppression Against Individuals:
Physical harm, verbal abuse, violation of rights, and unjust treatment.

Oppression in Governance and Society:
Tyranny, corruption, unjust laws, exploitation of the weak, and abuse of power.

Economic Oppression:
Unfair trade practices, withholding wages, bribery, and exploitation of labor.

Oppression Within Families:
Neglect, abuse, and unjust treatment of family members, including children.

Spousal Oppression:
Mistreatment, harshness, physical or emotional abuse of one’s spouse, contradicting the principles of kindness and mercy in marriage.

Islamic Stance on Oppression
**“Indeed, Allah does not like the oppressors.” (Surah Al-Imran 3:57)

**“And do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful].” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:188)

**“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:135)

**“And whoever oppresses [another] – We will make him taste a great punishment.” (Surah Ash-Shura 42:42)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
**“Beware of oppression, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection.” (Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Hadith 6251)

He also said:
**“Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is oppressed.” People asked, “O Messenger of Allah, it is right to help the oppressed, but how do we help the oppressor?” He said, “By preventing him from oppressing others.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 46, Hadith 6937)

Islamic scholars unanimously regard oppression as a major sin that invites Allah’s severe punishment. Justice (‘adl) is foundational in Islam, and oppression is its antithesis. Scholars stress the obligation of Muslims to avoid oppression personally and collectively, and to work actively to establish justice in all spheres of life—social, political, and economic.

Spousal Oppression in Islam
Marriage in Islam is founded on mercy, kindness, and mutual respect. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The best of you are those who are best to their wives.” (Tirmidhi)

Oppression in marriage—whether physical, emotional, or verbal abuse—is strictly forbidden. Allah commands us in the Qu'ran:

“And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them – perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:19)

Islam encourages patience, dialogue, and fairness in resolving marital disputes and forbids cruelty or harshness.

Oppression in any form is a serious violation of Islamic teachings. Islam calls for justice, compassion, and respect for all human beings. Whether in governance, society, family, or marriage, Muslims are urged to uphold justice and avoid oppression, knowing that Allah’s punishment awaits oppressors and His mercy is with the just.

May Allah protect us from oppression, guide us to justice, and make us sources of mercy and kindness in our families and communities. Ameen.

Sahih Muslim 2167a

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you, and when you meet any one of them on the roads, force him to go to the narrowest part of it.”


Sunan Abi Dawud 5205

“Do not salute them (Jews and Christians) first, and when you meet them on the road, force them to go to the narrowest part of it.”

You know you are liyiing but still insist on covering up the liiees to decceiivve others instead of you to come.out.of the liiees!

Islam can Only be promoted through liiees, forrcefful conversion and kiiilling. Nothing else.

Religious folks and political folks are more alike.

Can you tell us the context of these hadith? Every event has a context, do tell us please?
Was there any fracas between the Jews, Christians and Muslims at that time?

Allâh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allâh loves those who deal with equity. Qur'an 60:8

But your anobi oppressed many in his hadith

Are we discussing my moniker right now or your brother that is telling lies?

Tell us what your religion says about the genocide, ethnic and religious cleansing going on in Nigeria especially north. We will take you seriously when your likes begin to openly confront, condemn and reject hate speech and sermons by some of your leaders.

It is very obvious by actions of muslims all over the world e.g intolerance, disrespect, violence, lies and deceit etc.

Is your ideology not oppression?

Oga, stop deceiving yourself. The Hadith is clear. Stop trying to hide behind nonexistent context.

The content of the Hadith is written in plain words very easy to understand.

“Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you" means you shouldn't greet Jews and Christians before they greet you. There is no context anywhere.

"when you meet any one of them on the roads, force him to go to the narrowest part of it." means exactly what is written there. No context anywhere.

Stop lyyyiing shiaammeliesssly to decceiivve people

Audio context
Why was the context not written into the hadith but instead manufactured outside it to justify it
Same you who opened a thread to claim Jesus lied in a parable is now asking for context.
Islamic logic.

See the originators of the religion una they worship . They'll treat dogs better than ya'll

It is not only not a sin, spousal oppression is baked in - thoroughly embedded!

How is being able to take 4 wives - without consent from any existing wife or wives - have temporary marriages, underage marriages - wherein consent is simply not possible - and sex slaves considered "kindness and mercy" in marriage? Kindness and mercy, when a husband is permitted give his wife a good smacking - merely on suspicion . Or divorce her at will .

This creed redefines all that is good and proper about holy matrimony and female worth. It degrades everything.

The Afghanistan type of kindness and mercy in marriage will soon reach you.
