When you forgive your spouse, you have helped
yourself build a powerful relation. You learn to
love one another.
And when you have been forgiven by a
spouse,
do not abuse it.
They are not gafururur Rahim. They are not
most forgiving, most merciful. They might be able
to forgive you once if you are lucky
twice. In a lot of cases it does
not extend to a third time.
They are human beings
but still we are taught to forgive as
many times as we can.
But when we have been forgiven
don't look at it as a weakness. It's
not a weakness.
Many people think you know what? Where's she
going to go? No way.
I'm giving her the life.
I'm giving her everything. Wallahi,
Allah will catch you.
Allah will catch you.
People think I can do what I want.
This woman here, I'm married to her. Where
is she going to go? She's got 5
children with me
and I've lived with her for how many
years. She can't do anything. She's got no
one to go to. Her brothers and sisters
are married. Her father and mother passed away
and so on. Now, it's okay what I
do to her. Be careful.
She might forgive you. You don't know that
that forgiveness is not a weakness. It's actually
a strength.
The more she forgives you the happier a
life between her and Allah she will lead.
And guess what?
The fact that she has forgiven
you does not necessarily
mean
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is pleased with
you.
It doesn't mean Allah is happy. He's watching.
He knows The record is taken. He can
see.
So therefore,
please Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, by trying your
best not to repeat the sin.
