Cursing people

Q: I have a question I am confused about. When I am in some situations some people are bad and wrong from there side according to Islam also. In such a kind of situation we take action against them and we are pure and right from our side same as according to Islamic rule and we raise our voice and the person who is wrong they ignore our mistakes and such person gives curse and some bad words to the that loyal person, so my confusion is here that the curse given by that bad person will really come true in the future. We always see that some people give curse in jealousy or in other cases but the innocent person has to suffer from all this. Why doesn't that curse get back to such people when actually they are wrong? Why all time the innocent people have to face and get scared from curse all the time. In such a case what should I do?

A: In Shari'ah we are prohibited from cursing people. The Hadith explains that if a person curses someone and the one who is cursed is not worthy of the curse, then the curse returns to the one who had cursed.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
