No justice for oppressed

Allah gives respite to wrongdoers, remember He even gives respite to Iblees.
Also, it's possible Allah has granted duas of anyone who is oppressed by protecting them from evil.

And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. (Ibrahim 42)

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There are three whose supplication is not rejected: The fasting person when he breaks his fast, the just leader, and the supplication of the oppressed person; Allah raises it up above the clouds and opens the gates of heaven to it. And the Lord says: ‘By My might, I shall surely aid you, even if it should be after a while.’” (Jami'at Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibn Majah)

Jubair bin Nufair narrated that `Ubadah bin As-Samit narrated to them that, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There is not a Muslim upon the earth who calls upon Allah with any supplication, except that Allah grants it to him, or he turns away from him the like of it in evil; as long as he does not supplicate for something sinful, or the severing of the ties of kinship.” So a man from the people said: “What if we should increase (in it)” He (ﷺ) said: “(With) Allah is more.” (Jami'at Tirmidhi)



 
Greetings and peace be with you Studentofdeed;

I saw this today and it made me think.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realised what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from yourself

Point number 5 seems to be the key.

May Allah continue to bless you on your journey,

Eric

I feel lot better now
 
I feel horrible and depressed about those who are oppressed. In Islam we are always told to forgive. So we forgive, but the person who harms others? I mean I get and understand whats the point of being angry. Its better to forgive and not be angry. But at the same time, those who do seek justice...they never get it. They make dues and dues against the oppressors...but in reality the opposite happens. I thought Allah would surely never reject the duas of the oppressed. I understand the wisdom of forgiveness and decided to implement this but I can't help but think that why was it that when I made duas against someone that it never came true? Why was it that whatever I asked for my oppressor to be dealt with, the opposite happened. I asked for them to be afflicted with heth issues, they are super healthy. I asked them for no success...they got successful. I asked for them to never get married...they got married very soon. This person was a horrible person...yet each and every one of my duas was rejected? I understand there is respite given to oppressors but the dua of the oppressed never is rejected. I obviously do not care about that person anymore and decided to forgive them. But I want to know the wisdom of why Allah didn't accept those duas?
Please answer
ws wr wb
people who do unfair things often know the way to success. Dua is not a magic spel, and you are not a magican either
As soon as they did something bad, they are no longer innocent, so they have misreputation. Those to know about it, will come to do so.
An you forgive for yourself. And Allah will reward you.
