Yazid ibn Hakim (رحمه الله) said:

ما هبتُ أحداً قطُّ هيبتي رجلاً ظلمتُه وأنا أعلم أن لا ناصر له إلا الله، يقول لي: حسبي الله؛ الله بيني وبينك.

“Never did I fear anyone as much as I feared a man whom I had wronged while knowing that he had no supporter except Allah. He would say to me, ‘Allah is sufficient for me; Allah is between me and you.’”

Al-Kabaʾir by al-Dhahabi: 107

Taking Revenge

Question: A sister is asking: “What is the Sharīʿah ruling regarding taking revenge when all other options have been exhausted and it is viewed as a last resort?”

Shaykh Faysal Al-Hashidi ḥafidhahullāh

Your question is important and requires an answer that is disciplined by the Sharīʿah, away from emotion.

▪️First: The basic principle in Islam

The foundation established by Islam is justice, not revenge, and removing oppression, not seeking personal gratification.

Allāh says: “And if you punish (your enemy), then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted. But if you endure patiently, verily, it is better for As-Sâbirûn (the patient)..” [An-Naḥl:126]

So Allāh clarified that:

➡️Responding proportionally is permissible

✅ But forgiveness and patience are better

▪️Second: When is responding in kind permissible?

It is allowed for the oppressed person to respond if the following conditions are met:

1) The wrong is real and certain, not imagined

2) The response is exactly equal to the harm, without excess

3) The response does not lead to greater injustice, chaos, or transgression

4) The person is taking only what is rightfully his according to Sharīʿah

Allāh says: “Then whoever transgresses the prohibition against you, you transgress likewise against him. And fear Allâh, and know that Allâh is with Al-Muttaqûn" [Al-Baqarah:194]

Not everything called “revenge” is permissible; rather, it is repelling injustice with its like, without exceeding limits.

▪️Third: When is revenge forbidden?

It becomes forbidden if:

1) One exceeds the limit

2) It is driven by anger or a desire for personal satisfaction

3) It harms others

4) It leads to a greater sin (cutting ties, assault, bloodshed, or disorder)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Fear Allāh wherever you are.” [Hadith 18, 40 Hadith]
[ An-Nawawee ]

Anger is a wide gateway to wrongdoing.

▪️Fourth: Does being a “last resort” change the ruling?

No, it does not change the Islamic ruling by itself.

Sharīʿah does not say: “When all options fail, take revenge.”

Rather, it says: Either take your right with justice

Or forgive and earn reward

Or refer the matter to a legitimate authority when possible

So calling it a “last resort” does not make the unlawful permissible, but it may allow lawful self-defense if the previous conditions are fulfilled.

▪️Fifth: The virtue of forgiveness

Forgiveness is not weakness; it is strength of character and elevation in rank.

Allāh says: “And verily, whosoever shows patience and forgives, that would truly be from the things recommended by Allāh..” [Ash-Shūrā 42:43]

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allāh does not increase a servant in anything through forgiveness except honour.” [Muslim]

Do you know Shaykh Abdul Rashid Sufi, the famous Qur’an reciter known across the world? When he was young, he suffered from severe and terrifying affliction. Each time he closed his eyes, he would be tormented by jinn, leaving him unable to sleep and exhausted throughout the day. This trial continued for a long period, weighing heavily on his heart and body, until he reached a point where he could no longer bear it.

In deep humility and desperation, he turned to Allah and cried out, “O Allah, I am a hafiz of Your Qur’an, yet these jinn are terrorising me. You have told us that the devils are weak.” With complete reliance upon Allah, he made a firm resolve. He sat in one place and said to himself that he would not move until he had recited the entire Qur’an in that very spot. That day, by the will of Allah, he completed the recitation in full.

That night, he finally went to sleep and saw those same jinn in his dream. Before, they appeared to him as enormous beings, their feet on the earth and their heads reaching the sky. Now, however, they had shrunk before his eyes, weakened, defeated, and destroyed. The fear that once consumed him was replaced with tranquillity and safety by the permission of Allah.

He would later say that this was a clear manifestation of the miracle of the Qur’an. The Qur’an is not merely recited with the tongue, but it is a healing, a light, and a mercy for the hearts. For those afflicted with spiritual or physical hardship, it is a cure, a protection, and a source of strength. Whoever turns to the Qur’an with sincerity, reliance, and certainty in Allah will find that it carries a power that nothing can withstand, for it is the speech of Allah and the refuge of the believers.

O Allah, make the Qur’an the spring of our hearts, the light of our chests, and the remover of our worries and sorrows. Grant us sincerity in reciting it, understanding in reflecting upon it, and steadfastness in living by it. Heal our bodies, protect our souls, strengthen our faith, and grant us tranquillity through Your words. Make the Qur’an an intercessor for us and gather us among its people in this world and the next. Ameen.

Imam Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said: “Reciting the Qur’an treats the diseases of the hearts just as honey treats bodily ailments.”

You Are The One To Blame!

If you are afflicted with something you dislike, then do not blame anyone except yourself.

The adhkar of the morning and evening for example are more important than breathing, and they should be a law that is adhered to; more important than breathing!

Beware that you neglect them, otherwise you have entered the battlefield without a weapon; you have exposed your chest and become a target for an enemy who will not show you mercy.

A Precious Gem: Good Character is a part of Piety

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله: “The Prophet ﷺ established a relationship between the fear of Allāh and good character, because fearing Allah improves the relation between the servant and Allah, and good character improves the relation between a person and others. Therefore, fearing Allah makes it possible for Allah to love him, and good manners make it possible for people to love that person.”

[Al-Fawa’id | Pg. 85]

Khalid ibn al-Walid vs. a Jinn and When a Devil Tried to Burn the Prophet (peace be upon him) with a Flame of Fire.

Dhahabi said:

، عن أبي العالية : أن خالد بن الوليد قال : يا رسول الله ، إن كائدا من الجن يكيدني ، قال : قل : أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات التي لا يجاوزهن بر ولا فاجر من شر ما ذرأ في الأرض ، وما يخرج منها ، ومن شر ما يعرج في السماء وما ينزل منها ، ومن شر كل طارق إلا طارقا يطرق بخير يا رحمن . ففعلت ، فأذهبه الله عني .

Narrated from Abi al-ʿAliyah:

That Khalid ibn al-Walid said: “O Messenger of Allah, one of the jinn is trying to harm me.”

He said: Say: ‘I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah, which no righteous or sinful being can surpass, from the evil of what He has created in the earth and what emerges from it; from the evil of what ascends to the heaven and what descends from it; and from the evil of every intruder, except an intruder who comes with good, O Most Merciful.’

So I did, and Allah removed him from me. (Siyar A'lam al Nubala 1/369)

The researcher said:

رجاله ثقات لكنه مرسل.
وأخرجه أحمد ٣ / ٤١٩ من طريق: سيار بن حاتم، عن جعفر بن سليمان، عن أبي التياح قال: قلت لعبد الرحمن بن خنيش التميمي - وكان كبيرا -: أدركت رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ قال: نعم.
قال: قلت: كيف صنع رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، ليلة كادته الشياطين؟ فقال: إن الشياطين تحدرت تلك الليلة على رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، من الاودية والشعاب.
وفيهم شيطان بيده شعلة نار يريد أن يحرق بها وجه رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، فهبط إليه جبريل عليه السلام فقال: يا محمد قل.
قال: ما أقول؟ قال: قل: أعوذ بكلمات الله التامة من شر ما خلق، وذرأ وبرأ.
ومن شر ما ينزل من السماء، ومن شر ما يعرج فيها، ومن شر فتن الليل والنهار، ومن شر كل طارق، إلا طارقا يطرق بخير يا رحمان.
قال: فطفئت نارهم وهزمهم الله تبارك وتعالى.
وإسناده صحيح.

Its narrators are trustworthy, but it is a mursal narration.

Ahmad (3/419) also narrated it via the chain: Siyar ibn Hatim, from Ja'far ibn Sulayman, from Abu al-Tiyyah, who said:

I said to'Abd al-Rahman ibn Khunaynish al-Tamimi and he was elderly "Did you meet the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?"

He said,"Yes."

I said,"What did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, do on the night the devils tried to harm him?"

He said,"That night, the devils descended upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, from the valleys and mountain passes. Among them was a devil carrying a flame of fire, intending to burn the face of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Jibril (Gabriel), peace be upon him, descended to him and said, 'O Muhammad, say.'

He said,'What should I say?'

He said,'Say: I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, brought forth, and originated; from the evil of what descends from the sky; from the evil of what ascends into it; from the evil of the trials of night and day; and from the evil of every intruder, except an intruder who comes with good, O Most Merciful.'

So their fire was extinguished,and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, routed them."

And its chain is authentic.

(Siyar A'lam al Nubala 1/369)

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

A tree does not remain alive except with a substance that waters it and causes it to grow. If watering is cut off from it, it is close to drying out.

Thus is the tree of Islam in the heart: if its owner does not continually tend to it by watering it at every time with beneficial knowledge and righteous action, and by returning remembrance to reflection and reflection to remembrance; otherwise, it is close to drying out.

Iʿlam al-Muwaqqiʿin (1/349)

Ibn al-Jawzi رَحِمَهُ الله:

I was overwhelmed by a matter that caused constant and persistent distress, And I began to excessively think about how to get rid of these worries by every means and in every way, but I found no way out.

Then this verse came to me:

وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا

And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). [65:2]

So I realized that taqwa (piety and fear of Allah) is the cause of relief from every distress,

And (thereafter), I only intended to achieve taqwa, and I found the way out (of my distress). [Sayd al-Khatir, 204]

Ibn al-Qayyim رَحِمَهُ الله
In the same way that the affairs of the one who fears Allah are made easy, the affairs of the one who leaves off taqwa (fearing Allah in all his dealings) are made difficult.
