Major sins # 16. Wrongdoing, deception or oppression on the part of the ruler. Oppression is of three types: dealing unjustly with Allaah (associating partners with Him), oppressing others and oppressing oneself. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a Penalty grievous.” (ash-Shura 42: 42) Allahs Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that Allah the Exalted and Glorious said: O My servants, I have taken it upon Myself to wrong no one; and have made oppression forbidden for you, so do not oppress one another. (Muslim). Beware of oppression, for oppression will be a darkness on the Day of Resurrection. (Muslim) He who has done a wrong affecting his brothers honor or anything else, must ask his forgiveness for it today before the time when he will have neither a dinar nor a dirham. If he has done some good deeds, a portion equal to his wrongdoings will be subtracted from them; but if he has no good deeds, he will be burdened with the evil deeds in the same proportion of the one he wronged. (Al-Bukhari)
