It is not oppressive to abandon and punish the abandoned for the sin because

oppression is putting a thing in its wrong place, and Allah the Exalted put the disposal in His kingdom, not in the kingdom of others.

and the greatest imam recognized Allah's misguidance by His abandonment, and he explained abandonment as not guiding the servant to what pleases him, so guidance here means success, and it is making the causes congruent to happiness and goodness.

and we must not say that the devil takes away the believer's faith (that is, acknowledgment and belief) by force or coercion because the devil's goal in taking away faith from him is to torment him. Therefore, he cannot achieve his goal by force and coercion because the believer cannot be punished while being compelled to take away faith, so it is not taken away by compulsion; but we say the servant leaves (faith), so at that time, when the servant leaves it, the devil takes it away from him, because if he took it away before he left, it would necessitate that Allah the Exalted compelled the servant to disbelief. And indeed, you know that Allah the Exalted does not create disbelief in the heart of the servant without his choice and love.
