Why does God not intervene to alleviate the injustice experienced by individuals and societies, despite His ability to do so? And how can a person make God intervene in their life to remove injustice, grant them victory, and protect them from trials and evils, especially if the injustice persists despite supplication and taking all necessary measures?

Allah grants respite to the oppressor so that his sin may increase, delaying him until a Day when eyes will stare in horror. He tests the oppressed to distinguish the wicked from the good. This world is characterized as a realm of trial and tribulation, not a realm of reward and fulfillment, for absolute justice will be in the Hereafter. A believer must be patient in adversity and grateful in prosperity, and he must strive to aid the oppressed and assist the distressed to the best of his ability, while having faith in the wisdom of Allah Almighty in every decree.
