An Explanation of the Concept of "Sad An Sabil Allah” in the Quran

“Sad An Sabil Allah” is one of the most frequent Quranic concepts that has been severely forbidden by the Quran. And understanding it can lead to a reconsideration of many of the religious concepts of Islam. In spite of its importance in Islam, it has not been considered thoroughly enough. “Sad An Sabil Allah” means obstructing the path of God, and it involves language, deeds etc. that prevent people from following the path of God. An instance offered by the Quran is oppression, and those who do this are deemed to be oppressors. Obstruction of the path of God has consequences for the person who does this both in this world and in the other (such as Divine punishment and torture).
