The affairs of the people will go straight with the presence of justice which may be mixed with some types of sin more than they will go straight in the presence of oppression and injustice in the rights of the people, even if it is not mixed with other sins. Thus, it has been said: "Allah establishes the just state even if it is disbelieving, and does not establish the oppressing state, even if it is Muslim."
It has been said: "The affairs of this world last with justice and kufr, but they do not last with oppression and Islam."
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "The quickest of evils to be punished are injustice and breaking of family ties." (Ibn Majah)
Thus, the unjust transgressor is overcome in this life, even though he may eventually be forgiven in the hereafter.
This is because justice is the system of everything. So, when the affairs of this world are established with justice, they last and are strong, even though its author may have no share in the rewards of the hereafter, and when they are not established with justice, they do not last, even though its author(s) may have that faith for which they may be rewarded in the hereafter.
