The Excellence of Forgiving Others
becomes great; and he who overlooks, the hearts of the people incline towards him."[1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard how excellent the qualities of the people of Allah are! Their personalities are filled with humility, detachment from the world, generosity, selflessness, forbearance, and the spirit of pardoning others. These noble figures are not limited merely to claims and slogans; rather, Islam is deeply embedded in their very being. They never take revenge for their own sake. Even if someone treats them harshly, these people of Allah, instead of losing their composure, treat their opponent with compassion and kindness. This is why their glory and greatness are celebrated throughout the world today. Whenever these great personalities are mentioned, the invocationsرَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُ orرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه are naturally uttered.
May Allah Almighty, for the sake of these great personalities, grant us the spirit to pardon Muslims and the privilege of attaining reward by doing so. Remember! Swallowing one's anger and overlooking the faults of people is such a superior pious deed that the fortunate Muslim who practices this is counted among the beloved servants of the Most Merciful.
Accordingly, in verse 134 of Surah Āl-ꜤImrān, Part 4, Allah Almighty states:
وَ
الْكٰظِمِیْنَ
الْغَیْظَ
وَ الْعَافِیْنَ
عَنِ
النَّاسِؕ-وَ
اللّٰهُ
یُحِبُّ
الْمُحْسِنِیْنَۚ(۱۳۴)
