Yunus - An Enlightening Commentary into the Light of the Holy Qur'an

Table of Contents

44. “Verily Allah does not do any injustice to people but people to their own selves do injustice.”

Allah has sent the best school, the best Book and the best leader for the people. If they do not accept them, they in fact inflict oppression upon themselves. That is, Allah does not hinder anyone from benefiting from the Qur’an and other divine proofs.

However, it is the people themselves who allow themselves to be oppressed because of abandoning their reason, and therefore, they make themselves deserving for retribution.

The verse says:

“Verily Allah does not do any injustice to people but people to their own selves do injustice.”
