from the Glorious Quran.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

Allah subhanho wa Taala informs us in Surah two Shura

whatever you are given here in this world is better convenience

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

for this life.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:06

But that which is with Allah is better and more lasting for those

00:01:06 --> 00:01:11

who believe and those who put the trust in Allah and diverse

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

conclusion of course, when the vena Eugenia buena kabaah isn't

well for Aisha either ma hottie boom yoke Pharaoh, those who avoid

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

major sinners, we find reference to the opportunities of this life,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:31

a life which is of course a temporary life and temporarily,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:35

and much less significant in relation of course, to the

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

afterlife in the Hereafter.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43

And diverse goes on to define the characteristics of those who are

00:01:43 --> 00:01:50

truly reliant on Allah, those who make the work cool. And among the

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

good category, characteristics of people like that are they are

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

those who avoid the major sins and impropriety and they have the

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

ability to forgive, even when they're angry.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:11

Now, the capacity for compassion, and the wisdom to forgive one

00:02:11 --> 00:02:17

another, perhaps, or past wrongs or hurts, almost understandings is

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

one of the greatest attributes that any human being can possess

00:02:20 --> 00:02:26

an exercise, but of course, over Ramat Lacava Ponyo Allah, Marathi

somebody prophet, but he brings about the capacity for compassion

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

for Goodwill, for the well being of those around him the capacity

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

to forgive, to manifest mercy.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52

And this is part of the nature of those who are righteous, and those

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

who have the capacity

00:02:54 --> 00:02:59

for spiritual depth, and manifesting their spirituality and

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

the nobility of their spirituality in their behavior.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:07

Now, we live in challenging times, wherein we tend to focus on

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

competitive goals more so than ever before.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

Such as quick wealth and public image

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19

expectations that are too high pressures that are too much

00:03:19 --> 00:03:25

because of our connectivity today. Nowadays, everyone knows anything

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

about everybody.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:32

We are constantly stressed with experiences that can easily offend

00:03:32 --> 00:03:37

us, you can easily reach the whole world within a second. And we can

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41

be offended in so many new ways now. And perhaps that is why

00:03:41 --> 00:03:46

forgiveness in our times, is increasingly essential, but

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

increasingly difficult.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

You see, forgiveness is not so much an act.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

As much as it is a commitment.

00:03:55 --> 00:04:00

It's not a deed. As much as it is a choice. You don't have to do

00:04:00 --> 00:04:03

something to forgive someone you forgive.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:08

You may not need to do anything to forgive, you merely choose to

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

forgive.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

The offender may still be as guilty of the harm or the hurt or

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

the injury or the insult. They have given you or coded you. But

00:04:18 --> 00:04:24

when the offended person forgives, it cuts off the shackle that ties

00:04:24 --> 00:04:29

the offended person in chains of resentment. Many people are caught

00:04:29 --> 00:04:33

up in chains of resentment, they angry and they carried with them.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

Even the children carried it with them because they had some problem

00:04:36 --> 00:04:40

with their brother or cousin and families don't speak for decades,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

because the chains of resentment

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

is still with them.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

That is why the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa early he was hard he was

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

limited commended in cordata and twos be our tongue CLAS if you

00:04:53 --> 00:04:59

call because he hadn't filed it documented. Materiality if you are

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

able to

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

On a daily basis to remove any rancor, any bitterness, any

00:05:04 --> 00:05:08

resentment from your heart towards anyone. When do so

00:05:10 --> 00:05:15

wise ones have said that forgiveness is Allah's way for

00:05:15 --> 00:05:20

coming to terms with a world in which, despite people's best

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

intentions, people do wrong each other people do hurt each other.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:31

Allah began by forgiving us, and He invites us all to forgive each

00:05:31 --> 00:05:37

other. Allah began by forgiving us himself, and he invites us all to

00:05:37 --> 00:05:42

forgive each other. And his way of forgiving is the model for our

00:05:42 --> 00:05:47

forgiving. And we should remember that seeking forgiveness is a sign

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

of humility. When you've heard for the Matoba to Allah is one of the

00:05:50 --> 00:05:55

big nights tonight. May Allah grant us to get the baraka all the

00:05:55 --> 00:05:59

nights of Ramadan. Whenever the great moments may be Allah knows

00:05:59 --> 00:06:04

best. But seeking forgiveness is a sign of humility, and forgiving

00:06:04 --> 00:06:09

others is a sign of magnanimity and generosity. The Prophet

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a hadith documented by MALBA in

00:06:12 --> 00:06:17

Schawbel. Eman he said Salah summon Karuna fee our hula if he

00:06:17 --> 00:06:17

can be

00:06:18 --> 00:06:25

when nationala here hello FEMA kita lumen rasool Allah for Carlos

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

and Allahu alayhi wa early he was he was a

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

man either or OT a chakra, what is our cause Kedah refer by either

00:06:33 --> 00:06:37

Habiba Fattah that also said, if people have three qualities or

00:06:37 --> 00:06:42

habits, Allah has benefaction Allah's patronage, Allah's

00:06:42 --> 00:06:46

protection, will always guide them and protect them and cover them.

00:06:47 --> 00:06:51

Allah will dispense for them from his mercy, and enter and embrace

00:06:51 --> 00:06:55

them in his love. Someone asked, Who are such people Yara, will

00:06:55 --> 00:07:00

Allah and the Prophet replied, whoever is thankful when he

00:07:00 --> 00:07:05

receives whoever forgives when he is in a position or an authority

00:07:05 --> 00:07:11

to punish and the one who can control his temper when he's

00:07:11 --> 00:07:11

angry.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:17

In the final analysis, forgiveness is not merely a set of behaviors,

00:07:18 --> 00:07:22

but is rather an attitude. It is a great attitude. It is a positive

00:07:22 --> 00:07:26

attitude. In fact, it is the attitude of the Divine himself.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:31

Allah is so far, the forgiving and the true Allah says, we're in

00:07:31 --> 00:07:36

tough who, what as far as what the Pharaoh find Allah have a folder

00:07:36 --> 00:07:41

or even if you pardon, if you reconcile, if you forgive the

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

know, surely Allah is Most forgiving.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:51

point for us to ponder, when we must keep in mind that as much as

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

we need Allah's forgiveness for our own sins in our own mistakes,

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

we must also practice forgiveness towards those who may have wronged

00:07:58 --> 00:08:06

us to in life, we frequently get what we give, and we often reap

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

what we sow.

00:08:08 --> 00:08:13

Forgiveness is our clemency to others, but also a gift to

00:08:13 --> 00:08:19

ourselves. Because in forgiving in forgiving others, we are setting

00:08:19 --> 00:08:24

ourselves free from the feelings of eart of anger, of bitterness,

00:08:24 --> 00:08:30

and of resentment. And thirdly, we realize, of course, that when we

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

do forgive others, we may not change the negativity of the past.

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

When we forgive others, we may not change the negativity of the past,

00:08:40 --> 00:08:44

but certainly we can affect the future in a positive way. May

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

Allah grant us the capacity to forgive one another. And may Allah

00:08:48 --> 00:08:52

forgive us for our sins. Insha Allah, that of ours, our teachers,

00:08:52 --> 00:08:56

our parents, and all our dear ones. Akula kolyada was tougher

00:08:56 --> 00:08:59

Allah wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
