9 - It has been recorded from Imam Baqir (a.s.): Oppression in this world turns into darkness in the other one Harms of oppression Now from individual and collective viewpoint: An oppressor always keeps his nerves restless and harms his soul conscience unknowingly. He is always hated by the society. In fact he has a really dangerous and because we believe that just as this world has open and manifest causes, the real hidden causes too are such more powerful behind the scenes.

Regarding oppression, the Holy Quran and the pure progeny of the Prophet (a.s.) have, through very effective description, warned us of dangerous consequences. For example: We read in the Holy Quran: 1 - So those are their houses fallen down because they were unjust, most surely there is a sign in this for a people who know. 2 - The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has reportedly said: Keep away from tyranny because tyranny spoils your hearts.

3 - It is noted from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.): Consequence of oppression is regret. 4 - Imam Baqir (a.s.) said: There is no one who does injustice to others but that God Almighty puts him oppressor in the same difficult situation, be it about himself or his wealth. But if the injustice concerned him and God, then it is possible that God accepts his repentance and forgives him.

5 - Imam Sadiq (a.s.) has reportedly said: Everyone who oppresses others falls in the similar trouble either with regard to him or to his wealth or his children. True traditions show us that the result of tyranny returns either to the tyrant himself or to his family and this is the ignoble consequence of oppression. Now let us look at a philosophical discussion extracted from Tafseer Al Meezaan, under verse 218 of Surah Baqarah.

Between deeds and between external happenings there is a relation and what is meant by deed called good and bad and which apply to the movements or stillness of body and which are intentional and not which are but natural to the physique like breathing and digestion etc - Tr. and it is from this angel that the Holy Quran says: And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account of what your hands have wrought, and yet He pardons most of your faults.
