If someone wrongfully keeps another person’s property, withholds earned wages, or uses authority to intimidate a weaker person, soothing words alone do not repair the wrong. A responsible response includes acknowledging the harm, restoring rights, correcting the situation, and preventing recurrence.
الْمَظْلُومِ is the person who suffers injustice; الظَّالِمِ is the one who commits it. This distinction matters: the narration warns the oppressor about the victim’s plea; it does not command the victim to remain silent.
