What are the best supplications and verses for the prayer of the oppressed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
There is no specific prayer, Qur’anic verses, or Prophetic traditions for the oppressed to uncover injustice. Rather, one should supplicate to Allah with whatever one wishes for the removal of injustice, and one may use supplications for the relief of distress. It is permissible for the oppressed to supplicate against their oppressor to the extent of the injustice, without exceeding it, and their supplication is answered. However, forgiveness and pardoning are better for them.
