What should one do if they have been wronged by someone they love, and their heart is pained, and they cannot bring themselves to supplicate against them or to forgive them, and they are upset by the oppressor's actions and fear their wrath if they advise them? What is the ruling on this oppressor, will they be punished or not?
Injustice is forbidden, and its consequences are dire. Allah has forbidden it upon Himself and made it forbidden among His servants, and He has threatened the oppressors with torment and disappointment. On the Day of Judgment, rights will be returned to their rightful owners. The wronged person has the right to supplicate against the one who wronged them, but it is better for them to forgive and pardon so they may attain reward from Allah. A Muslim should advise their oppressive brother in a friendly and loving manner, and if they are unable, they should delegate someone who has influence over the oppressor to advise them.
