Sayings of Imam al-Shafi – Verse for every oppressor and the oppressed

Imam al-Shafi`i (rahimahullah) once said:

“There’s a verse in the Qur’an that is like an arrow in the heart of every oppressor and at the same time a source of comfort for the heart of the oppressed.” People asked: “What is it?” He said: “And never is your Lord forgetful”.

[Surat Maryam: 64]
