Oppression
Oppression Is The Exercise Of Authority Or Power In A Burdensome, Cruel Or Unjust Manner! It Is The Opposite Of Fairness, Justice And Kindness Both On Personal Level And Collective!

Oppression is a vicious cycle which we are all tangled in, one way or the other. We are all oppressed and oppressor on different levels. Unless we understand this complex cycle of oppression, we can never free ourselves or our society from this tangled web.

There are various kinds of Oppression but here i will discuss the major ones Personal oppression & Social Oppression

Lets see what is Personal Oppression Sometimes, the reality is painful and it takes a lot of humbleness and humility to accurately analyze ones situation in life. Truth is usually bitter but it is better to deal with the truth than to mask it and pretend otherwise because pretension will not benefit any one, neither will it change the situation.

We are in post colonial era; all the Major countries had been under colonial rule for three to four hundred years and have only been freed for approximately seventy years.

During colonialism there was a systematic destruction of structured religion. It was done to prevent masses from collecting under any powerful emotional flag hence avoid rebellion against the ruling power.

We grow up to rebel against this structure but continue to follow it in order to satisfy the status quo. We have questions and problems in ourselves that we cannot solve because there is external pressure on us to conform and satisfy our society. This causes us to oppress ourselves and we instead of correcting our faults and problems, pretend they dont exist and mask our eyes from it.

Example We will give the example of spousal relationship as this is one of the most important yet neglected topic of our lives. In order to have a pragmatic solution we need to analyze it in depth and fit all the misplaced pieces of the puzzle in their respective places.

People in most Muslim cultures usually stress marriages with the understanding that it fulfills part of the deen (Islamic way of life.) But this understanding is missing basic knowledge about every other element from who to marry to how to choose this person, the goal of marriage and what are each personâ€™s expectations from the other.
