Question about oppression

[Sarah]

Peace

From a Quranic perspective, are the oppressed people always the good people? I mean not always but mostly? The evil people who are the oppressors tend to get punished through means other than oppression i.e. natural disasters.

[Emre_1974tr]

No, they're not always good people. Any evil that happens is actually God's way of punishing them. Whether it is a disease, whether it is violence by a human being...

By the way, even if a person is a good person, he may still have some problematic aspects, and he pays for these problematic aspects by suffering in this world and by lowering his rank in Paradise in the Hereafter.

Holy Quran 43:54 Thus he incited his people to levity, and they obeyed him: for, behold, they were people depraved!

In addition, some verses say that those who are oppressed in Hell curse their oppressors. In other words, there are more poor and oppressed people in hell than rich.

Because they were bad people and they suffered in the world too.

Are the oppressed people always the good people? I mean not always but mostly?

Not all oppressed people are good people.
But the opposite is true.

Good people will never oppressed another people.
Good people will never threatened other people.
Good people will never see him/her self as superior to other people.
Good people will never seek vengeance or hold grouches to other people.

Instead:
Good people will try to help other people.
Good people respect other people's free will, opinion and belief.
Good people is humble, he/she sees other people as part of him/her own self.
Good people is compassionate and forgiving.

Through this opposite of characteristics you can then recognized good vs bad/evil, light vs darkness.
This recognition is the lesson for you to learn while you're here now on earth.

It is misleading if you reckon good vs bad/evil based on people's races, nationality, ethnicity, religion, social classes/condition, wealth and other form of social identities. Only through their individual characteristic you can differentiate them.

Hardship / Oppressed / Adversity is a temporal condition, it will eventually change and shifted.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power
