A series of Blogs and Notes on the Ayats of Quran; Verses of Bible; & USA Muslim Economy. Please excuse any errors from me (in some notes thoughts are all over the place) the good of it is from Allah.

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh my dear respected brothers and sisters in Al Islam
Beware of Zalim. This blog post is about Surhatul Ali Imran Ayat 151 and the other notes are references for it. This is not to incite violence nor mockery, but to reflect upon terminology. The interchange of 3 different terms in the verse, and how 2 linked to Mushrikun. Then expounded with other references to Shirk and Zalim for the consequence of Zalim mentioned in 3:151.
To unjustly bring misery to another innocent person of Faith in Allah is Zalim (unjust, abusive, oppressive)
I am observing through research that the answer is because Zalimun mathala Kafirun. The outline is in the red bullet point below. Those who are unjust, oppressive, abusive are equivalent to being Rejecters of Allah (swt). But I am also observing through research that Zalimun mathala Sahirun. The outline is in the green bullet point below. But, also that Zalama mathala Shirk. That outline will be in blue below. The good news here is that anyone that is working either of these 4 things on you is surrounded or encircled by Hellfire. This being the path of manifest Truth makes it so that it could manifest upon them in the twinkling of an eye.
Zalima mathala Kafara 2:254
"O ye who believe! Spend out of (the bounties) We have provided for you, before the Day comes when no bargaining (Will avail), nor friendship nor intercession. Those who reject Faith (Kafirun) they are the wrong-doers (Zalimun)."
Zalima mathala Suhr
A bribe seems to work like magic. They succeed at what they do. ~ Proverbs 17:8 (and also note magic is under the Judgement of Surahtul Baqarah Ayats 102-103.)
The wicked (zalimun) take secret bribes to pervert the course of justice (zalimat). ~ Proverbs 17:23
A poor person’s farm may produce much food, but injustice (zalimat) sweeps it all away. ~ Proverbs 13:23
Conclusion: From the above 3 Proverbs we can deduce Zalima mathala Suhr.
Zalima mathala Shirk 5:72
"They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah (commits Shirk; blasphemes), for him Allah hath forbidden paradise. His abode is the Fire. There will for the wrong-doers (zalimun) be no one to help."
Jehanum Muhitul bil Kafirun. 9:49
"Among them is (many) a man who says: "Grant me exemption and draw me not into trial." Have they not fallen into trial already? and indeed Hell surrounds the Unbelievers (on all sides)."
Thus:
Jehanum Muhitual Bil Sahirun (see above with green bullet point)
Jehanum Muhitul Bil Zalimun (see above with red bullet point)
Jehanum Muhitul Bil Mushrikun (see above with blue bullet point)
Allahu Muhitul Bil Nas 17:60
"Behold! We told thee that thy Lord doth encompass mankind round about: We granted the vision which We showed thee, but as a trial for men,- as also the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the Qur’an: We put terror (and warning) into them, but it only increases their inordinate transgression!"
Allahu Muhitul Bil Kafirun 2:19
"Or (another similitude) is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky: In it are zones of darkness, and thunder and lightning: They press their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap, the while they are in terror of death. But God is ever round the rejecters of Faith!"
Therefore those who bring misery unjustly to another person of Faith is subject to the trials of Jehannum. And Allah is not a Zulmana in the Alamin @ Holy Quran 3:108.
[Aoudhubillahi x ∞] ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends:
Process this. I believe the more you process this string the more you will love it probably more than I do, which is pretty much because I have been positively sharing precious loved gems of personal study that is dear to me...really out of fear of the COVID-19 scare, in addition to the knowledge that it (sharing) has more power on the Scales of Allah, for my personal account, if I share my research. When this COVID-19 thing is under control and there is something troubling you or blocking you from progressing, advancing, succeeding in your day remember Surahtul Jumuah when Allah (swt) said, "Disperse ye through the land and seek of the bounties of thy Lord Allah (swt), and remember Allah much that you may be successful." When someone is connecting the dots they are saying something. Keeping it trim from personal explanations or reflections is not "not saying anything, and just repeating what Allah said." There is no fault in Fussilat or Expounding on the Message. But must beware of conjecture.

Baqarah Ayats 102-103 Zalama mathala Suhr
[2:102] - They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon: the blasphemers were, not Solomon, but the evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things as came down at Babylon to the Angels Harut and Marut. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; so do not blaspheme." They learned from them the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone except by God’s permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls, if they but knew!
[2:103] - If they had kept their Faith and guarded themselves from evil, far better had been the reward from their Lord, if they but knew!
The backstory on Zalama Mathala Suhr comes from a selection of Proverbs from Nabi Sulaimon (may upon him be Allah's eternal peace and blessings.)
A bribe seems to work like magic. They succeed at what they do. ~ Proverbs 17:8 (and also note magic is under the Judgement of Surahtul Baqarah Ayats 102-103 above.)

Baqarah Ayat 124 Zalimun have no Leadership or Command
[2:124] - And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers (zalimun)."
S.
Baqarah Ayat 140 Who is more of a Zalimun than someone who conceals the
testimony that they have from Allah (God)
[2:140] - Or do ye say that Abraham, Isma’il Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Do ye know better than God? Ah! who is more unjust (zalimun) than those who conceal the testimony they have from God? but God is not unmindful of what ye do!
S.
Baqarah Ayat 258 Zalimun have no Guidance
[2:258] - Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because God had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is God that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth God Give guidance to a people unjust (zalimun).

S.
Anam Ayat 52 Zalimun turn away those seeking the Face of Allah.

[37:113] - We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong (zalimun), to their own souls.
S Al Rad Ayat 6We should, and all should, turn to Allah (swt) and seek His Forgiveness for the Zalimat and Zilm that each's own selves may have fostered, encouraged, practiced, etc. Allah (swt) extends the possibility of His Mercy of Forgiveness in this Ayah.
Allah (swt) is full of forgiveness for mankind for their wrongdoing (Zulmihim). And verily thy Lord is (also) strict in punishment.
May the eternal peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon Nabi Muhammad who taught us the Holy Quran; as well as, upon Nabi Sulaimon.
I got a chance to catch a live virtual broadcast of a discussion by Zaytuna College #ZaytunaCollege. 3 respected Sheikhs were on the panel, and there were about 3 things that stood out to me. 1 of them I did comment about in the Live Chat only for another viewer to in a very nice way tell me to shut up and just listen. He actually said get a YouTube Channel and express your views but for now just listen. I then politely left the broadcast. We are challenged to listen, but we are also challenged to think.
It is with respect to those 3 Sheikhs along the lines of when a Imam is leading Salaat at Mecca for Tarawia, etc. and forgets a portion of Quran, and 1 of the brothers in the 1st row reminds him of the section he is forgetting. That protocol is pretty outstanding in my opinion. I really find that fascinating when it happens. Masha Allah I have finished this blog post, before football kickoff at noon.
The 3 things that stood out were:
1. When the Sheikh moderating asked other 2 Sheikhs about trials and tribulations and how in the past it increased people of Faith in Faith, but what is to be pulled from the Seerah or history of Al-Islam when trials and tribulations are causing people to lose Faith.
Actually the reference that I have here is from Al Masihu Isa Ibn Maryam (epbut). The Millstone Passage. There is a duty upon the believer not to lose Faith in the face of trials, adversities and tribulations, however there is a cost to those other than Allah (swt) that want to put you to trial excessively. To say that that does not take place would be a bit shortsighted. Click any of the graphics to enlarge them.
So I will cite both passages here insha Allah:
2. The 2nd thing that stood out was when another Sheikh mentioned having a vertical association with all things good and bad as coming from Allah (swt).
The references that I have here are: 1. Allah is not a Zulmana in the Alamin. This is meaning that Allah (swt) does not practice Injustice or Wrongdoing in either the Seen or Unseen. It also means that Allah is not a Zalimun. But even further it means that Zalimun are not of Him (swt). 2. Is another beautiful example to this point and that is of Nabi Musa (epbuh) speaking to Firaun at 20:56-79. Firaun had decided that he wanted to pawn off Miracles of Allah (swt) as coming from his pagan idols or something to that effect. To which Nabi Musa wa Nabi Harun (epbut) were to the point that Allah does not practice Zulmana and is not a Zalimun. He is not associated with that idolatry. 3. That Allah is not Unjust is found in other parts of the Holy Scriptures. I will list a series of about 4 graphics to this point.
3. The 3rd thing that stood out was when the 3rd Sheikh mentioned 3 qualities or elements that contributed to past greatness of Islamic civilization (or something like that) But, one of the things he mentioned was the incredible generosity of the people of the past it was a common characteristic. I commented in the live chat that whenever Charity is mentioned we must remember to mention Trade one time as well. That in our minds we have to think 50/50 Trade and Charity. And that is when the guy, another viewer, told me to shut up and listen in a nice way.
It is with respect to those 3 Sheikhs along the lines of when a Imam is leading Salaat at Mecca for Tarawia, etc. and forgets a portion of Quran, and 1 of the brothers in the 1st row reminds him of the section he is forgetting. That protocol is pretty outstanding in my opinion. I really find that fascinating when it happens. Masha Allah I have finished this blog post, before football kickoff at noon. One last thing a Sheikh mentioned the passage of the overturning of the trade tables in the Temple (in the Biblical account) and Al-Islam has pockets of Asceticism in it, however, Allah (swt) has said that even in the performance of Hajj we can seek of the bounties of Allah (swt). So, in Hajj the trade tables are technically not overturned. I am not sure how many actually have interest in doing business while on Hajj, but it technically is not unlawful. Ayat is " It is no crime in you if ye seek of the bounty of your Lord (during pilgrimage). Then when ye pour down from (Mount) Arafat, celebrate the praises of God at the Sacred Monument, and celebrate His praises as He has directed you, even though, before this, ye went astray." ~ Surahtul Baqarah Ayat 198
Here is the Virtual Panel Discussion. Again I only caught the first 25 minutes.
