دعائے امیرِ اَہلِ سُنّت

What does tolerance mean?

Dear Islamic brothers! The literal meaning of tolerance is to endure, not to be angry, to not lose one’s cool. Whereas, tolerance has been defined as being calm and at peace whilst in the state of anger.^{^[1]}

This is such an excellent act that whichever fortunate Muslim acts upon it, he is counted amongst the beloveds of Allah Almighty. Just as Allah Almighty mentions in Juzˈ 4, Surah Āl-ꜤImrān, Verse no. 134:

وَ الْكٰظِمِیْنَ الْغَیْظَ وَ الْعَافِیْنَ عَنِ النَّاسِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَۚ(۱۳۴)

and control rage, and forgive people—and Allah loves the righteous.^{^[2]}

Whereas, another verse teaches us to forgive, be patient and tolerant in this manner. It is mentioned in Juzzˈ 18, Surah al-Nūr, verse no. 22:

وَ لْیَعْفُوْا وَ لْیَصْفَحُوْاؕ-اَلَا تُحِبُّوْنَ اَنْ یَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۲۲)

Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.^{^[3]}

What does Satan want?

Dear Islamic brothers! We learn that forgiving and overlooking faults of others is a means of attaining forgiveness from Allah Almighty and Allah Almighty likes this habit very much. There is no doubt in the fact that Satan is an eternal enemy of humans, as Allah Almighty mentions in the Holy Quran:
