Abstract

Our research focuses on the most prominent things that the Holy Qur’an and Nahjul Balagha have stated in condemning and fighting injustice, and its worldly and otherworldly effects, and its tragic effects on the individual in particular and society in general, so that the great prophets (peace be upon them) strove as hard as they could to remove injustice from this unjust person, through preaching, advice, and enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong    After preaching and advice were of no use, they resorted to the last resort, “cauterization is the last resort” The sword is the last resort. Then, one of the most important means that prepares the ground for the oppressor’s domination over people is abandoning the command to do good and forbid evil; because it is human nature that if a person transgresses a simple transgression, and does not face an explicit prohibition against this transgression, and the extent of the heinousness of his action is not clear to him; then he will accept that transgression and belittle it, considering that people have not He has to do it, and if he finds it acceptable, he will transgress even more, until he has power over people, and thus injustice will spread among them, unlike if people denounced him for that and forbade him from doing it; this denunciation from them will be a deterrent and a deterrent from repeating that action, and thus he will stop transgressing against others, for the existence of the oppressor represents a danger that threatens the life of every human being Perhaps the society turns into an unbearable hell because of the oppressor The phenomenon that has this direct impact on human society is worthy of research and study.
