    Ten Oppressors

    Sufyan ath-Thauri (may Allah have mercy on him) said that ten people are regarded as oppressors:

    1) The person who prays for himself, but forgets his parents and other believers.

    2)The person who does not recite at least a hundred verses of the Holy Quran daily.

    3)The person who leaves the Masjid (mosque) without performing at least two units of Salah.

    4)The person who passes a graveyard without greeting the deceased or praying for them.

    5)The person who enters a city on Friday and leaves without performing the Friday prayer.

    6)The man or woman in whose vicinity a learned person comes and none acquires any religious knowledge from him.

    7)Those two people who love each other for the pleasure of Allah but are unaware of each others names.

    8)The person who is invited by another, but does not accept his invitation (when acceptance does not contradict the Shariah).

    9)The youngster that has no commitments yet does not acquire any religious knowledge or manners.

    10)The person who has eaten to his fill while his neighbor goes hungry.

    Re: Ten Oppressors

    hmmm.... i don't understand the use of the word "oppressors" - the concept must mean more in an islamic context than in regular usage?

    Maasha Allaah, Sufyan at-Thawri was a great scholar.. at the same time as Imaam Abu Hanifah in Kufa i think. May Allaah have mercy on him.

    Re: Ten Oppressors




    Allaah knows best what the arabic word is akhi.. because one arabic word might have loads of different meanings, so i really don't know what he meant..

    But alot of them things mentioned in the list are related to Qur'an and the Sunnah, i.e. thanking ones parents is ordered to us by Allaah in Surah Luqman in the Qur'an, and scholars say that it's our duty to pray for them as a way of thanking them. Going to an invitation [which doesn't go against Islamic rules] is encouraged in Islaam since that is the Sunnah (in some ahadith, even if the meal is only bread and olive oil.) Praying the two units of nawaafil when entering a Masjid is also Sunnah etc.


    So maybe he's implying that those who don't follow the Sunnah are oppressors because they're oppressing themselves by not following the Prophetic example? Allaah knows best.
