Brief Comments of Shaikh Ibn Baaz on Saheeh al-Bukhaaree #3

Injustice

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وبعد 

Imaam Bukhari رحمه الله said:

Chapter: “Dhulm doona dhulm” (Injustice without (greater) injustice). [1]

Narrated Abdullah: When the following Verse was revealed: {It is those who believe and confuse not their belief with injustice} [Surah al-An`aam (6):83], the companions of Allaah's Apostle صلى الله عليه وسلم asked, "Who is amongst us who had not done injustice (wrong)?" Allaah revealed: {No doubt, joining others in worship with Allaah (Shirk) is a great injustice indeed.} [Surah al-Luqmaan (31):13] [Sahih al-Bukhari]

[1] Shaikh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said:

Injustice (dhulm) is of 3 types:

a.       Shirk – the doer of it will neither get any security nor any guidance; and it is the greatest of (all) injustice.

b.      Injustice to one’s own self by committing sins like adultery, (drinking) intoxicants.

c.       Injustice to others.

All these decrease the security (for the person and the society).

So, whoever is protected from committing injustice, for him is complete security and complete guidance. And the one who commits the lesser injustice (either to one self or to others), he gets the security and guidance, but which is incomplete. So for the one of complete justice, there is complete security and full guidance; whereas the one who is unjust, will have incomplete security and less guidance.
