Silence in the face of oppression is not only a sin but also contributes to its spread. The Quran calls upon us to stand against injustice.
In the Holy Quran, Allah emphasizes the importance of acting upon the truth and fighting against oppression and corruption. Silence in the face of oppression not only may indicate a weakness of faith but can also lead to the perpetuation of tyranny. In Surah Al-Imran, verse 112, Allah states: "Your schemes will not avail you on the Day of Resurrection," which suggests that one should not remain indifferent to oppression. Moreover, in Surah Al-Maidah, verse 8, it is commanded: "O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah," indicating that believers must stand up against injustice and testify. Essentially, Islam calls for action and does not accept that believers remain silent in times of tyranny. Acting upon the truth and preventing oppression is a duty assigned to Muslims by the Quran.
Your schemes will not avail you on the Day of Resurrection.
O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah.
Once upon a time, there was a young man named Ali who had remained silent against the oppression faced by an orphan. One dark night, his mother told him, 'My dear, silence in the face of oppression is a sin. You need to be the voice for that orphan!' Ali woke up and decided to help the orphan. From that day on, he became an advocate for the rights of the oppressed.
