Will the wronged person be compensated by supplicating against the sorcerer, the oppressor, and their helpers, in such a way that he will have no right remaining in the Afterlife, even if he does not see a response to his supplications in this world?
Allah Almighty has permitted the oppressed to seek victory over their oppressor through supplication, and He has warned the oppressor against it, because the supplication of the oppressed is answered, even if the oppressed person is a disbeliever. However, when a Muslim supplicates against someone who has wronged them, provided the supplication does not involve a sin and does not exceed bounds, it is not necessary for the answer to be exactly as supplicated. Allah Almighty may honor the supplicant with something better. The supplication of the oppressed falls under the general meaning of the : "There is no Muslim on Earth who supplicates to Allah with a supplication but Allah grants it to him, or averts from him an evil equivalent to it, as long as he does not supplicate for a sin or cutting off ties of kinship." The outcome is that a supplication that does not involve aggression will result in the desired outcome or something similar. Allah, Glorified be He, clarified to His Prophet (peace be upon him) when he supplicated against some disbelieving oppressors that the matter was not for him, saying: "Not for you, (O Muhammad, but for Allah), is the decision of the matter – whether He turns in forgiveness to them or punishes them; and indeed, they are wrongdoers." Therefore, whatever you supplicated with against one who wronged you, if this supplication does not involve aggression, then there is hope in the generosity of Allah Almighty that He will not let your deed be lost.
