Solutions Provided in the Sunnah Rampant Injustice & Oppression - Dr Zakir Naik
Dr. Zakir Naik explains that the Sunnah provides multiple layers of protection against oppression, including spiritual, social, ethical, and action-based shields. He emphasizes that Allah directly hears the prayers of oppressed people and provides various hadith-based solutions for both the oppressed and observers of oppression.
Summary
Dr. Zakir Naik addresses the question of how Islamic teachings (Sunnah) provide superior solutions to combat rampant injustice and oppression, as an alternative to political ideologies. He argues that the Sunnah offers a multi-layered defense system against oppression rather than a single approach. The first and most important layer is the spiritual shield, where he cites hadiths from Sahih Bukhari and Muslim stating that the prayers (dua) of oppressed persons go directly to Allah, regardless of whether they are Muslim or non-Muslim, sinner or non-sinner. The second layer is the social shield, which operates on multiple levels. This includes helping fellow Muslims whether they are being oppressed or are the oppressors - supporting the oppressed in their rights and preventing oppressors from continuing their wrongdoing. He also references the hadith about stopping evil with one's hand, tongue, or at minimum cursing it in one's heart, representing different levels of capability and faith. Additionally, he mentions that speaking truth against a tyrant ruler constitutes the best form of jihad. The third layer involves ethical and moral obligations to stop evil when witnessed. The fourth layer focuses on actions, specifically recommending that oppressed individuals give charity as it helps wash away sins and provides multiple benefits. Dr. Naik concludes that these comprehensive solutions from the Sunnah can be applied to address contemporary oppression worldwide.
