			and much less significant in

			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

			another, perhaps, or past wrongs
or hurts, almost understandings is
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

			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
