The Excellence of Forgiving Others
لَاتَثْرِیْبَ عَلَیْکُمُ الْیَوْمَ فَاذْھَبُوْا اَنْتُمُ الطُّلَقَآءُ
Translation: "There is no blame upon you today; go, you are all free."
Upon hearing this unexpected statement of the Messenger of Allah, the eyes of all the criminals became tearful with intense remorse. The slogans of لَاۤ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللہ that echoed from their tongues caused a rain of light to shower upon the walls and doors of the Sanctuary of the Ka’bah. [1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! If we study the biographies of the Prophets and Messengers عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام, the noble Companions and the Successors رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم, as well as the pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ, we will find many pearls of wisdom regarding the excellence of pardoning others. Where the Almighty blesses His chosen servants with countless other unparalleled qualities, this attribute also remains a part of their character: they overlook the mistakes of people and do not falter in fulfilling the rights of others (ḥuqūq al-ꜤIbād).
People may violate their rights, yet these noble personalities are never heedless in fulfilling the rights of others. Ignorant people inflict various types of pain upon them, but instead of returning like for like or becoming angry for the sake of the nafs, these noble beings supplicate for them and attain immense reward by granting them forgiveness.
To encourage you, let us listen to three reformative parables in this regard:
