The importance of seeking Allah's forgiveness.
And this is of course
the most important thing to do.
What is also important is to forgive others,
to learn to forgive others, have a big
heart,
and learn to forgive others.
Obviously, the biggest example,
the most powerful symbol of that
was
himself. And
among the many many
examples of him forgiving those who wronged him,
the most powerful is
the example of his forgiveness
in Fatamaka.
Because to forgive when you have the
ability
and the moral right
to take revenge
is something which is of
a magnitude that
cannot be,
at least it's not by in my power
to describe it. But this is exactly what
he did.
I remind myself and you that Allah
mentioned in the Quran in Suratul
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said they are those
who give charity, who donate in prosperity
and in adversity,
who control their anger and pardon others. And
Allah
loves
the doers of good.
It's a very beautiful,
story
related with this ayah.
Hazan
ibn Ali
was,
making,
and there was
a slave
who was pouring the water
and,
this slave
had this water in a
container
and
this container slipped
from,
the hand of the slave and
fell and hit
Sayidina Hasan Adeel Anu,
on his head. So he was
obviously, he was
hurt, maybe even injured.
And, you know, he obviously he had all
this water which fell on top of him.
So he looked up at the slave
with anger.
He didn't do anything. He didn't say anything.
He just looked at the slave with anger.
But knowledge is so powerful and knowledge is
so,
so beneficial.
The slave immediately said
They are those and Allah is talking about
the people who Allah loves,
who are there. They are those who donate,
who give charity and prosperity and adversity
and control their anger.
So Hassan Radi Al Anu controlled his anger
and he kept silent.
And then the slave
continued,
wal aafin are in us
and they pardon others.
So Hassan Nadellana said, I have pardoned you.
And then the slaves said,
and Allah loves
those who do Ihsan,
who do good,
which is more than
kindness, more than
justice.
And Hassan Radha Raman said, I have freed
you. You are free.
Now imagine,
obviously, the slave is smart
and knows his Koran,
knows his Deen.
As a result of that, he was able
to get freedom.
But the point I'm making here is that
see the
beautiful
response, see the beautiful connection
of Hassan Ibn Ali
to the Karam of Allah
That when the aya is recited before him,
he does not even hesitate for an instant
to immediately
live by the ayah.
Right? You might say, well, you know, after
all, see who he is. Right? This is
the grandson of Rasoolullah.
This is the best of the best of
the best. This is the son of Fatima
This is the son of
Ali
Right? This is the,
he is the, you know, the the noble
of the noble. Sure. All of that is
fine except
that he is also human.
He was also human. He's not God. He's
not an angel. He's not
supernatural. He's also human. He's also subject to
all the,
emotions and all the, you know, feelings and
so on that any other human being is
subject to. Yet he's able to
overcome them, keep them in control, and then
do only that, which is pleasing to us
about it. And this is a very, very
big lesson as far as we are concerned
in terms of how we behave.
In,
this is not from a particular hadith, but
from different hadith. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Salam said,
whoever does not forgive others will not be
forgiven. Whoever does not pardon others will not
be pardoned. Whoever does not protect others will
not be protected. We ask Allah
to save us from this. In another in
another hadith,
and if I'm not mistaken, this is in
Where
is reported to have said that a Muslim
may have
some misunderstanding
and so on
with his brother.
And of course as I mentioned before many
times
wherever it says brother it means brother and
sister.
This person, the the one who has this
misunderstanding and so on so forth and because
of that, he or she doesn't talk to
them,
withdraws, turns away from them. Nabi Sadat said,
this is,
permissible for 3 days.
But if it continues beyond 3 days and
the person dies in that state, then they
will enter Jannah.
And we ask Allah
to save us from this.
This is how,
important it is to forgive,
forgive a person.
In another hadith, Nabi said whoever suffers an
injury and forgives,
meaning
forgive the person who who caused the injury,
Allah will raise his status to a higher
degree and remove one of his or her
sins.
Imagine,
Therefore, in a in a manner of speaking,
when somebody is doing an injury to you,
when somebody is abusing you or harming you
in one way or the other. They are
actually, in a way, doing you a favor
because they are
because they're giving you the opportunity
to respond to that in this way which
is through
dignity,
through calmness,
through equanimity,
and not take revenge and so on. And
because of that Allah will,
will reward us. Right? Now the reward of
Allah is something which is incredible, which is
so important for us to keep in mind
and,
and and and value
because that is eternal. That is something which
goes into our.
In the the Quran,
the word forgiveness
and mercy these are mentioned they say they
mentioned over 200 times.
My brothers and sisters, I remind myself many
many ayaat. I'm not going into a list
of all the Ayat which relate to forgiveness,
but you can do your own research for
this. But very very important
for
us to remember that.
Abdullah ibn
reported that
said, be merciful to others and you will
receive mercy.
Forgive others and Allah will forgive you. This
is in Musaat Imam Mohammed.
In another Hadith,
she said, Abdulla
Al Khadali
of the reported.
He said, I
asked about the character of Rasool Sallallahu Salam
And he would not respond to an evil
deed with an evil deed, but rather he
would pardon and overlook.
Now this is an example of the character
of Mr. Salam.
This is in Surah Al Thirmidi. I repeat,
the Prophet
was not indecent, he was not obscene, he
would not shout in the markets,
and he would not respond to an evil
deed with another evil deed, but rather he
would pardon and overlook.
One example of
the forgiveness of Rasool Allah SWAMI
it can be found in the hadith,
which is as follows. The Prophet
was the most forgiving person he was ever
ready to forgive his enemies when he went
to Taif to preach the message of Allah,
its people mistreated him, abused him and hit
him with stones.
He left the city
wounded and,
in a in have and and subject to
the humiliation of the people.
When he took shelter under a tree,
the Angel of Allah visited him and told
him that Allah
sent him to destroy the people of Taiyid
because of their sin of maltreating and mistreating
their Prophet
Rasul
made dua and said, O Allah, save the
people of Taif because what they did was
out of their ignorance.
Aisha Sihikar
reported that Rasool
said
to her
and this is the dua that he taught
her when she asked him, you Rasulullah,
if I find light or color, what should
I ask Allah?
She said, ask Allah and
say,
O Allah, you are forgiving
and generous. You love to forgive. So forgive
me.
Abu Hurair
narrated and said
that he heard Rasulullah
saying, I swear by Allah that I seek
Allah's
pardon and turn to him independence
more than 70 times a day.
So this has to do with also
seeking pardon
and asking Allah to
forgive us
every single day.
But what is very important also is for
us to forgive others.
Now again, the issue here is that sometimes
you might say, well, you know, this person
is toxic.
This person continuously
harms. This person continuously. Their death is bad
probably.
We should not
comment on the of people because we can't
go into their hearts
to see what it is, but it seems
that way.
And
keeping contact with such a person is difficult
and it's potentially harmful.
So is it when I say I forgive
the person,
first of all, do I need to say
that to them? Secondly, do I need to,
therefore
maintain relationship with them, go visit them, invite
them to visit me,
you know,
talk to them and so on and so
on. The answer is forgive them for what
they have done to you, but don't put
yourself in a position where they can do
more harm to you. That would be stupid.
So
by all means, forgive what they have done
because we want Allah to forgive us. And
you are forgiving them and I'm forgiving them.
Not because,
you know, I love them because I don't
love them. And it's perfectly okay not to
love somebody who's toxic.
But
we forgive them so that Allah will forgive
us. But at the same time, it would
be stupid
to put yourself in again as a target
for them to take potshots at. So therefore,
by all means,
you know, take,
take take, precautions and and there's no need
to continue to maintain contact with such people
but forgive them and that's it and give
it to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Final
hadith in Abu Dawood. Rasool
said, I guarantee a house in Jannah
for one who gives up arguing
even if he is in the right.
And I guarantee a house in the middle
of Jannah for one who abandons lying
even
for fun, even for the sake of fun.
And I guarantee
a house in the highest part of Jannah
for the one who has good manners.
So this is a very beautiful hadith as
we can see
and we ask Allah
to make us
worthy of it.
I ask Allah to help them and to
help us to do that.
In another hadith, which
is in Bukhari Muslim,
He said it is not permissible for a
man to forsake his Muslim brother for more
than 3 days. Each of them turning away
from the other when they meet. The better
of them is the one who gives the
greeting of salaam first.
So,
as I mentioned in other place,
the one who does not do that and
dies, then he will enter Jahannam. So, we
ask Allah to save us from that.
May Allah
keep our hearts together and help us to
save us from that which is not.
save us from that which is not.
