The Absolute Power
If anyone
of us looks back to his life, he will find out that one day he must have out
cried from within himself with the feel that God is Great, that God is around, or
that God adjourns punishment but never disregards it. We do not say this except
if we are watching an event where the divine power is absolutely obvious. For if we reason what we are watching we will
not say or feel the same because it will then be a normal thing.
We do not say God is there when we see the strong having victory over the weak because what has happened is ruled by reason, the law that we see every day. The victory of the wrong doers over the oppressed people does not let us say that God adjourns and never disregards because it is also reasoned by the law, that we see daily when the oppressors have victory over the oppressed people. But we do not see the absolute power except in the injustice inflicted upon man. That is because the judgment in everything is postponed till the day of Resurrection. The only exception is the oppression of man, for Allah (Jalla Jallaloh) takes revenge from those who devour people’s rights in the worldly life so that the life is balanced and so that the people will know that there is a worldly revenge for injustice besides the hereafter revenge.

That is why Rasoul Allah (PBUH) says:
Beware the prayer of the person
treated unjustly for there is no barrier between it and Allah. Allah lifts it
over the clouds and says: <With My Might and Majesty I will give you victory
even if it is after a long period of time>
To be continued....
