So in this world, you may not receive
true justice. You may not.
Do you really think that Allah, the Lord
of the worlds,
will let someone go when they have wronged
you?
I tell you what.
One of the ways of achieving amazing contentment,
it's not easy,
but it's a fact,
is to let go. Oh Allah, those who
harmed me, I forgive them. Them. Oh Allah,
those who wronged me, I forgive them. Oh
Allah, those who have taken my things, I
forgive them. Oh Allah, those who have been
jealous, I forgive them. Those who have spread
rumor, I forgive them. All of them try
it out.
You arrive at a new level of contentment
because Allah says,
Forgive and embrace. Wouldn't you like Allah to
forgive you? Well, if you release, Allah will
release you. So if Allah has released you,
where are you going to end up in
paradise? It's not easy because you need justice.
You're a human. You want to fix a
guy. Today, road rage is such that a
guy who just cuts slightly into you because
you were discourteous and you didn't even let
them in. And they desperately wanted to get
to the other side of the road and
they cut in. You get so angry that
you pull out a gun on the guy.
That's what's happening in South Africa. Agreed or
not, you get so upset they haven't even
wronged you. That's the fact of life. They're
just driving and they're thinking of how to
do something And you get so rage that
it's actually called road rage. And it's a
disease and a sickness. And you get angry
and you cannot release a guy who came
in front of you, how is Allah going
to release you?
That's the question.
What you did was far worse, man. So
Allah says release it, man. Just let it
go. It's okay. Fine.
This verse, Allah says Allah is Most Forgiving,
Most Merciful was actually revealed for Abu Bakr
as Sadiq
when he made a promise after his daughter,
our mother Aisha radiallahu anhu was accused.
He said, I'm never going to spend on
this guy who's spreading the rumor. I used
to give him money. He's a relative of
mine. No appreciation.
Look at him spreading rumor. Look at him
going around talking.
Whatever nonsense he is, I don't want to
have anything to do with this guy.
And Allah says, no, good people don't do
that.
Good people don't do that. So immediately Abu
Bakr as Siddiq radiAllahu anhu said, you know
what?
I will break my oath and I'm going
to spend on him again and I'll make
the peace.
Are you ready?
Are you ready to make peace with your
brother?
Are you ready to make peace with your
sister, with your uncle, your aunt, your nephew,
your child, your parent? Are you ready?
Allah is telling you, if you're ready, I'm
ready to give you a paradise.
It's not going to be easy. You might
have to let go of some money. Mainly
fights and arguments are about what?
About something you didn't come with and you're
not going to go back with. That's what
you're fighting about. You thought of that.
Mostly the fights in this world are about
something you didn't come with
and you're not going to go back with.
But But while you're here, you're arguing, fighting,
punching, doing whatever, about what? That thing you're
gonna leave it, man. You're gonna go just
now. Let's release it, man. What do you
want here? Allah saying, I'm watching.
