I'm about my Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam. In the famous incident of this era, in which our
mother our Isha was slandered with an evil lie, where a very vile rumor was spread about her
character. One of the people who was spreading this rumor was a person by the name of Mr. and Miss
La. He was his mother was a cousin of a book called The Allahu tiga. And he was one of those who are
spreading this rumor about his own cousin Asha. And to make matters worse, Abu Bakr Siddiq had
helped Mr. Set up a household Mr. Who was poor, he didn't have money when he emigrated from Medina
		

			he had to Medina he had nothing so but karate Allah who and who helped him to help finance a
household to purchase a house to become married. And how does mister who returned the favor? He
actually says these vile lies about his own cousin and the Mother of the Believers and the wife of
the prophets of Allah. Why do you show so when Abu Bakr Siddiq heard that his own cousin, Mr. was
saying things about Russia and he had financed him. He said, I swear by Allah, I will never give a
penny to Mr. As long as I live. How can he do this to me after all that I have done? So he swore to
Allah that He would never pay Mr. Another Penny and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada revealed in Surah Noor
		

			wala Yeah, Teddy Old Fourth name in Kumasi. Asante. Are you quarterback? Well, Misaki Dowell.
muhajir dynorphin. SEBI de la. Well yeah, who was just Oh ALLAH to a bona and your federal law who
loves them.
		

			And do not swear to Allah wala yet utterly. Let not the people who are better and wealthier swear to
Allah, that they will never give their relatives and the poor and the emigrants in the way of Allah.
Let them forgive and overlook and forget what Yeah, full Well, yes. Turn away, forgive, forget.
Don't you want Allah subhana wa Taala to forgive you like you forgive others. So when Abu Bakar
heard this verse, he said, I swear by Allah, I will continue to give him money as long as I live.
What a noble verse in the Quran. And this verse forms the topic of our hope. But today, the hotbar
will deal with turning the other cheek and forgiving Subhanallah if anybody has the right to be
		

			angry, it was a boubakeur. If anyone had the right to cut off the ties of kinship, it was Abubaker
if anyone had the right to swear to Allah, that I'm never gonna forgive this crime. This was his
daughter, not just any daughter, the Mother of the Believers, the wife of the prophets of Allah
Almighty who was sending him and it wasn't just a sarcastic comment. It wasn't just derogatory
comments, it wasn't just hardship. It was as lie the slander the evil vile slander, that touches
upon the innocent character of our mother Isha. And not only this, it was a relative, not only this,
it was somebody whom a worker had finance had given money, if anybody in the history of the world
		

			had the right to be angry, it was Abu Bakr and yet what does Allah say? Oh, Abu Bakr, you are all
fadul. You are better than him. Allah called him in the Quran, old family was sad. All unfolded
means you're the better person Allah testified you are the better person. Why don't you forgive? If
anybody has the right to exact vengeance
		

			It would have been Abubaker. But what does Allah say? Yeah of a burqa, you are the better of the
two. Allah has given you Fidel and Sam and here this means ALLAH has raised your rights and given
you more money than him. Don't swear to Allah that you will not forgive and forget, forgive and
forget, turn the other cheek. Don't you want Allah to forgive you? Allah to hipbone and young
Pharaoh Allahu Allah come wala who have fought a Rahim brothers and sisters, it is human nature that
we will get into problems with people. Well Allah he this is what society is, you will fight. People
will be sarcastic, you will get angry back. People will take your rights and perhaps you will take
		

			the rights. This is the reality of living in a society. People will hurt you and you will hurt them
back. What does our religion tell us? What is the philosophy of Islam in this regard? Our religion
tells us our Lord commands us and our prophets has demonstrated for us what is the reality of our
religion and that is a disarm or turning the other cheek Allahu Allahu fron, forgiving overlooking
ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala commands us in so many verses about the reality of forgiveness. He links
forgiveness with entering Jana, he links forgiveness with the people of Jana. Allah says in the
Quran was Sadhguru in Amalfi Rotimi Ravi Kumar Jannette in Doha, Qatar this summer it will grace
		

			with one another for Allah's forgiveness and for entering a Jana who's with is as big as the heavens
and earth Who are these people who are the people that will enter this Jana and Allah says they are
those who give a love you know, if you're gonna feel sorrow, it will Dora they are those who are
generous, whether they have money or not, whether they're wealthy or not, they will be generous. And
what else will cow the mean alive when fina and in us will Allahu Akbar sinning, they are those who
control their anger. The people of Jana, the people of Mo Farah, or those who control their anger
will calcium in Ohio, they control their tongue, they don't get angry when they deserve to get
		

			angry, when it is their right to get angry. They don't get angry, when our fina and in us and when
they're angry, they also then forgive the people. They forgive the people. And when Allah says they
forgive, this means some wrong has been done. It's legitimate, because if the wrong is not
legitimate, you don't have the right to forgive. If the wrong is not legitimate, you don't have the
right to forgive. So when Allah says you have the right to forgive, and then you forgive, this means
a genuine wrong, you have a legitimate cause of grievance somebody has done something to you they
should not have done. And what is the response that that you have? Well, fina and in us, they
		

			forgive all, not all people, not just relatives, not just close people, not just friends, not just
acquaintances, what is fina 99 us all of mankind, they will forgive it doesn't matter who the person
is. And Allah subhana wa Taala also tells us that those who forgive are demonstrating the reality of
Taqwa one tactful Acropolis taqwa, if you forgive. This is closer to the Taqwa of Allah. This is the
reality of being of the moutain one antiflu Acropolis taqwa, if you forgive, then you are closer to
the Taqwa of Allah. The more you forgive, the more closer you are to the Taqwa of Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah and Allah subhana wa Tada describes in Surah Assura, the characteristics of the
		

			believers, the characteristics of the meaning, and of those characteristics, we all know those who
pray, those who give charity, those who do this and that but in this series of verses, ALLAH SubhanA
wa Taala says, watchers will say yes and say yes to Matthew firma. Natha was Lucha Giroux, who Allah
Allah. And if somebody does wrong to you, Allah says, you have the right to do the same wrong back
to them. What Jezza will say yeah, 10 say yeah, don't miss Lulu. If somebody does wrong to you, you
have the right Allah is saying, and this is what Allah he have the mercy of our religion, that Allah
did not require forgiveness, He allowed us to take revenge. This is permissible, but Allah never
		

			encouraged it. It is permissible because Allah knows we are have different levels of faith. Not all
of us have the reality to forgive, and some of us will want to exact vengeance. So Allah says,
witches that will say yes and say, This is the law. The law says you have the right to do the same
amount of wrong that somebody did to you. But what does Allah want family
		

			Natha was Lucha for a judo who Allah Allah, whoever forgives and makes up the problem repairs the
faultline because when somebody does wrong to you what happens? Your relationship breaks, your
relationship breaks. This is the reality of humans situation when your colleague back bites you when
your boss does something, when your friend is sarcastic, when your son when your daughter when your
wife when your husband when your relative is mean to you, the human nature reaction is to be mean
back to them. But what does Allah say from an alpha ASLHA whoever forgives and repairs the bridge
I'll slow how you're repairing you're mending you're putting the bandaid you're solving your the
		

			wound or your your bandaging the wound from an Alpha was law for a judo who Allah Allah will Allah
who you have Bullmore cine Whoever does this, Allah will reward him and know that Allah loves those
who are righteous and do so. And so that means you do more than what is required of you. Yes and
means you do more than what is required. So Allah says when you go the extra mile, I will also go
the extra mile and when I go the extra mile, what do you think will happen? A Juru? Who Allah Allah,
Allah doesn't even say what will be the Agile? Imagine? Allah does not say you get 10 rewards, you
get 50 rewards? No, Allah says I know how difficult this is. So you leave the reward to me. I want
		

			you to who either Allah you leave the reward to Allah. There is no numeral given there is no exact
if you do X Allah will give you why. Why? Because to forgive and forget is the most difficult thing.
And Allah knows this. So therefore he doesn't link it to any number. He just says Leave it to me. I
will take care of your reward for a Jew who are the Allah so what do you think the reward will be
when Allah Karim the manaan? The result there are over the right man when Allah the one who controls
all of the treasures of this heaven and earth. He tells you don't worry, I will take care of your
budget. How much do you think the budget will be? And this is what Allah has said to the one who
		

			forgives and forgets whoever forgives and mens then his reward is with Allah subhanho wa Taala and
our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has demonstrated this over and over again in his lifetime.
Look at the characteristics look at the incidence of the zero in our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam his lifetime when I was asked to describe the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam she said in
a longer Hadith the shorter hadith of course, it's kind of oil Quran, but there's a longer Hadith
and Timothy, she said that the prophet has a magnification when I'm with the vibration, he was
neither vulgar nor vile, he was neither loud, nor did he return evil with evil, rather, he would
		

			overlook and forgive when evil was done to him. This is how I should describe the Profit System. In
five words, you had to describe five sentences, what are the main characteristics that come to mind?
And so she said, he was of good tongue of good spirit, always optimistic, not vulgar, not harsh, not
loud. And he would always forgive and overlook when people were mean and nasty to him. This is how I
remembered the Prophet salallahu idea he was setting them and all of us all of us have heard the
beautiful stories from the Sierra, we don't need to be reminded of a thought if we don't need to be
reminded of that disastrous occasion when the people stoned him and he had every right to exact
		

			vengeance. And Allah azza wa jal gave him all of that power through the angel of the mountain do as
you please, and you will be listened to. But what did he say? He raised his hand and said, No,
forgive them forgive them, as the blood has not yet dried from his face, as his body is still
aching, as the wounds have not healed still, he raises his hands and he says, Forgive them, Oh
Allah, for they don't know what they are doing for Camila and the moon, they don't know forgive
them, Perhaps Allah will guide them or their children after them. And this is the reality of what
happened. And the stories of the forgiveness of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are simply
		

			too many to mention, and we talk about them in our Sierra classes all the time. How often did the
Prophet system forgive so much so that when Morocco was conquered at the conquest of Makkah, at the
Fatima QCCA when the prophets Assam forgave the very people who tortured and persecuted him for 20
years, even abou Soufiane, the leader of the Quran, and at that time, not a Muslim, even Abu Sufian
was astonished. He was simply astonished. How could you do do this? And he said, ma Namaka ma SVA
Ma, I forgot how generous you are, how gentle you are, how forgiving you are. This is the abou
Sofia, who is not yet a Muslim, but he sees with his own eyes how much the Prophet system is
		

			forgiving, and he says my
		

			Hola Monica. I am just amazed how much you can forgive and forget and overlook and get and get rid
of all of these graduates in your heart. How can you do this? How could he do this? Because he was
Ramadan did Allah mean he was Rasulullah sallallahu? I think he was selling them and he is showing
us what is the reality of our religion. So my Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, when we forgive
others, especially, especially when those others are not Muslims, we are demonstrating for them the
reality of our faith. It was the forgiveness of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam that caused
so many of his enemies to realize the genuine nature of the religion of Islam, and we hope that
		

			Allah Subhana Allah will bless them with Islam, but what if they are not guided to Islam? Even then
Allah says, Don't worry about it. Your job is to forgive my job is to take care of them. What does
Allah say when the mushroom coin when the pagans of Mecca were ridiculing the Prophet system? We're
making fun of him. What does Allah say in the Quran, Allah says in the Quran, for wasa who had to
Allah Who be somebody, you turn around, turn the other cheek, neglect them, ignore them, forgive
them, and Allah will bring the command to them, whether it is guidance, whether it is punishment,
your job is not to punish, leave it to me. So some of them they were punished, others were guided.
		

			But what was a prophet is commanded to do far for was for who your job is to forgive, and to neglect
this, ignore it until Allah subhanho wa Taala brings the command to them. And what is truly amazing,
therefore, is that our religion commands unconditional forgiveness, the better thing to do in all
circumstances is to forgive not just to Muslims, not just to wives and children, not just to
relatives or friends, but everybody unconditionally, as Allah says in the Quran, Allah fina and in
us, they forgive all of mankind. And as the Quran commands the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
who the love for what motivates all of you, well, Adam and Eve Johannine, Allah commands him who
		

			they are, for, I command you to forgive. And this was a command to the Prophet system, and for us,
it is something we strive to. For us forgiveness is an option meaning we can take the vengeance to
the same amount. But for the Prophet SAW Selim, Allah commands him, who did I for you must forgive
them and turn away from them and what motivated or free come on what is best and turn away from the
Jahai lien. Don't act like the jaw Hill in response to the jaw Hill. Don't act ignorant when
somebody acts ignorant. If somebody acts foolish, you act dignified and turn away and do not act in
the same manner. And the Quran tells us with regards to a group of people who had broken Allah's
		

			covenant and had attempted to trick the Muslims that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says, Five who was for
who? That Allah azza wa jal tells the Muslims turn away from them and forgive them for indeed in
Allah who had been more cine, even with regards to the murder in the Quran, and murder, as we know
is the greatest crime aftershock What does Allah say quotevalet como que SOS Phil cut la que source
has been prescribed what is the sauce Mina Life for life? This is a sauce. Allah says I have allowed
you to sauce ally for a life. But what is the very say not the next verse, this the same verse in
the same verse? What does Allah say? Feminine roofie Allahu alayhi che but if you forgive your
		

			brother, something, if you forgive the sauce, then let him follow that up, build my roof with good
deeds. Subhan Allah, in the same verse that Allah says, you have the right to practice this sauce.
If somebody kills your relative, you have the right to go to the Islamic court and say this murder
should be executed by the state. This is the Islamic right. But Allah says but if you forgive, then
it is good. And let the one who has been forgiven follow up that forgiveness with good back to the
family. So even the murderer Allah azza wa jal encourages, and he uses the term of he that if a
Muslim murders another Muslim, still his Islam is there, and Allah calls him lie, even though this
		

			is the one who murdered your relative, yet the relationship of a whole will Islam. Allah says if
you're able to forgive, then do it. And that will be the better thing to do. And of the most
difficult matters My dear brothers and sisters to forgive of the most difficult matters is when
somebody whom you love wrongs you Wallahi it's easy to forgive a stranger. If you're walking on the
street and somebody says something you don't know him. He makes fun of your religion. He makes fun
of your appearance. You say hello as he doesn't know Allah will forgive. But when your wife or your
husband, when your son or daughter when your mother or father, the one whom you've done so much for
		

			and you love so much when they stab you in the heart when they
		

			A say a harsh word. When they show you disrespect, rudeness. impoliteness will law he then it is
very difficult to forgive. And yet even this Allah subhanaw taala explicitly commands in the Quran.
Allah says in the Quran that yeah you heard Athena Amen Oh you who believe in them as Rajeev Kumar
Willa to come, I do welcome via the room, some of your spouses and children's they will be like
enemies to you. What does this mean they will be like enemies to you. So scholars say that it is
possible in the most extreme circumstance. And this happened in Makkah, some of the wives were
begging their husbands not to embrace Islam, and they threatened if you embrace us now, we will
		

			leave you so obviously this is a clear case of animosity, but even a loving Muslim wife or husband
could possibly be a type of enemy. And even Abbas explain how that in your love for your spouse, you
might disobey Allah, you want to please them you will get out on money to to please them, you want
to do something to help them but you don't care about the Shetty out of Allah. So Allah and they
might ask you something. And this is in the case of even we have in the case of the wives of the
process, and they were asking for more halaal money and it is halal for them but we know our process
and would not give them the luxuries of this world. So this might be a type of friction animosity
		

			that Allah says they might be enemies to you in a minute as YG como la vida room, so be careful of
this. But then what does Allah say? We're in tafel? What does for who were tofu for in the LA have a
photo Rahim? Three separate verbs when it comes to the family. Never in the Quran. have three verbs
of forgiveness come together as they have for the family. Ponder over this point. My dear brothers
and sisters, not for the courage not for the murderers not for the who then the Aliki tab for the
family. Allah mentions three verbs of forgiveness why? Because the most difficult to forgive is the
family. The most difficult to forgive is the family and all of us know this from our personal
		

			experiences. What does Allah say? What in tough who what tasks were who were thankful for in the
Lucha for Rahim? If you're able to erase the sin away or thus far who just turn it over? Don't think
about it too much, or tofu forgive it any of these three things or all three of them? Just erase it
away from your memory or cover it up with another memory or actually go ahead and forgive it?
Whatever you do know that Allah is awful Rahim. So notice here how Allah subhanaw taala encouraged
us to forgive our family members to forgive them overlook their faults just wipe it clean from your
heart because I feel means to wipe it clean. Safa means to just cover it up throw it throw something
		

			on top of it and of course go for a means to forgive from your heart and Allah uses all three of
these were intact for what us what tofu for in Allahu la foto Rahim. Now it is true, my dear
brothers and sisters it is true that on some very rare occasions in the Sierra, our Prophet system
did not forgive and it is very common for Muslim to say oh with the process. Some didn't forgive
this person Ebola for example, or Abuja health for example, and he didn't forgive or may even have
now my dear brothers and sisters yes, it is true. You can count them on the fingers of one hand, but
Subhanallah Are you going to compare your relative to Abuja? How are you going to compare your
		

			relative to Abuja and realize these few exceptions, each one of them repeatedly was insolent and
arrogant to Allah and his messenger repeatedly, not just once. Never in the entire Sierra, did
anybody come to the Prophet system asking to be forgiven, except that he forgave them? Never, not
even once did a man come to the process that I'm asking to be forgiven and accepting Islam accepted
the process and forgave including the son of Abu Jamal, the son of Abu Jamal, whose name was on the
list of Most Wanted kill dead or alive and he couldn't even be Jahan. This was a crema, the one who
did so much at Buddle did so much in Makkah. The process of did not forgive him in the conquest of
		

			Makkah. His list comes there were two men, or some say three men that were not to be forgiven. And
number one on the list, Nkrumah had been Abijah *, but even at crema when he regretted and
repented, and he wanted to embrace Islam, he covered his face up and entered the Muslim camp and
walked up to the process. And he asked for forgiveness. And so in front of all of the Sahaba the
process and forgave the son of the founder of this home and out of the sun was Abuja, and this
Nkrumah was his son, and he forgave him because he came to him asking for forgiveness. My dear
brothers and sisters, this is what our religion teaches us that for Muslims unconditionally, we
		

			should forgive without any questions, the better thing to do is to forgive and for those who are
rejected
		

			Islam, even then the general rule is to forgive and overlook and even if they're enemies to Allah
and His messenger, Allah says you forgive, I will take care of them in this world or the next Ask
for the process and a few exceptions, those they have their wisdoms in the Sierra, those are the
exceptions. The general rule as Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Whoever forgives and whoever overlooks
then Allah loves those who practice Yes son may Allah subhanaw taala make us amongst them
BarakAllahu or confocal on them whenever anyway yeah, they may seem to addicted Hakeem a hold on
matter Simone was stopped for a lot of stuff for a lot of the mighty welcome what is sandwich maker

			Allah Allah Anita.
		

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah helwa hadn't had a summit LLM yet welcome EULA Walla Mia colo
Khufu and well that you can ask the brothers to move forward, we are already out of space in the
back. My dear brothers and sisters very briefly before we conclude there are four levels of how we
react to a rung that is done to us. One of these levels is haram. The second level is permissible,
the third level is good. And the fourth level is encouraged. I repeat, there are four ways to
respond when somebody does something wrong to us. If somebody is mean sarcastic, nasty, belittling.
If somebody takes our right hand property, there are four ways to respond. The first way is how long
		

			for us to respond. Unfortunately, that is all too common. And that is that we hold a grudge and we
reply to the evil with even worse, evil. If somebody made one sarcastic comment for the rest of our
lives, we will make sarcastic comments about him. If somebody said one thing about us for 10 years,
we will say bad things about him. And in this case, my dear brothers and sisters, what has happened
is you have changed from the one who has been wronged to the one who is doing the wrong because
Allah only allows you to take back the same as what has been taken from you. But unfortunately, most
of us we go beyond. And if somebody says one thing we will say 10 things back, if somebody says
		

			something mildly sarcastic, we will be extremely nasty and mean. And we think this is our right. And
the minute we do this, realize that the table has turned now and you are the volume and you are the
tyrant and the one that has initially made fun of you. Now he is the one you owe him your good
deeds. So we have to be very careful about that. The second level, which is halal and permissible,
but it is not encouraged is to respond to evil with the same amount of evil. So if somebody is
sarcastic to us, it is halal in his face, not behind his back. It is halal, that we are sarcastic
back at him. It's not encouraged. But Allah knows our shady, or our nature, Allah has knows that not
		

			all of us can forgive. So Allah says, if somebody does wrong, you have the right to do the exact
same wrong back to him and has entered bossley commented on this verse he said, and how do you know
you did the exact same? What if you want more than this? Because in the end of the day, when he
makes a sarcastic comment, you're not going to make the same sarcastic comment or you you will have
to change the joke and have sarcastic comment at him. What if your comment went beyond what he did
to you? How do you know on the Day of Judgment? So has anybody warned us? He said, How do you know
that you want the exact same amount? How can you apply this rule 100% with precision who amongst us
		

			can do this meaning what was anybody's point forgive and move on? That was what his point was. So
this is jazz and Hamdulillah we thank Allah that our religion allows us to do this. And this leads
to the third point and that is the third way to respond. And that is to forgive and move on. And
this is good. We don't hold a grudge in our hearts. We expect Allah subhanaw taala to reward us but
at the same time. We don't mend if you like a broken relationship we simply are are lukewarm about
it. We don't if we had a good friend once a bad thing happens call us we say Salaam in the masjid
but we don't go back to that friendship status. We are good to him in our hearts but we don't have
		

			the same friendship. This is no doubt good. We have forgiven but we haven't quite forgotten and
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada encourages this, but the highest level is to forgive and to forget to move on
and to mend, to go back to how the relationship was. This is the highest level and this is what
Allah says from an alpha what US law. You can forgive but you don't have the solar. That's good. But
if you forgive and you have the solar so that means you mend you make it back
		

			If you repair that is the highest level and this of course Allah azza wa jal praises in the Quran in
so many verses, Allah says one artist that will have center to what I say that good and evil are not
the same. being good and being nasty are not the same. In fact bility here I send when somebody is
nasty, return it with good when somebody is mean be nice back to him. What will happen for either
levy by Nico Urbina, who I doubt we're gonna know who will even harm him, you will find the one who
was your worst enemy will become your best friend, when you will call her Illallah Dina Sadhguru Why
am I will call her Allah to help them Azim only the people have great patience and only the people
		

			of great fortune and reward will be able to get to that level that is the highest level the fourth
level and that is to return evil with good to forgive and forget and repair and mend up to be the
better of the two to practice what Abu Bakar practice with his cousin Misbah. After all that Mr. had
done, Abu Bakr in fact increased the stipend he would give Mr. Until the day Abu Bakr died, Mr.
haggadah and increased typing after Mr. Had slandered his own cousin and the Mother of the
Believers. This is why Allah called Abu Bakar Odle fogli Minh come the people of dignity and
character amongst you. And that is the relationship that Allah subhanaw taala wants us to have very
		

			quickly before I conclude, how does one go about doing this? And much can be said two simple points
psychological and Islamic. Two simple points. How does one forgiven forget? First point
psychological second point Islamic as for the psychological point, nothing to do with religion,
human nature, my dear brothers and sisters realize, the more you hold the grudge, the longer your
heart is burning. The longer you feel the pain. The fact of the matter is, the longer you are
letting the other person control you and your happiness and your freedom.
		

			The longer you hold that pain in your heart, then the longer you are allowing the person who has
caused you the pain to win, because in reality, you are a hostage to him and his emotions. Your
happiness is kept in check because your heart is suffering grief because of him. So even from a
purely psychological standpoint, let go of that grief, cut off that anger, get rid of that grudge so
that you can enjoy life, enjoy the positives that this world has to offer you. Even from a
psychological perspective, people that have nothing to do with religion, they tell us it is better
to be forgiving and cheerful, to turn the other cheek just to get rid of that grudge. Why? Because
		

			when you're holding a grudge, you are depriving yourself well Allah you know this and I know this,
that when we hold the grudge, we don't even notice the beautiful air, the nice, the nice breeze,
this the smell of the flowers, you know, our wives and children. We ignore all of this because that
grudge is in our heart, we are held hostage to the very person whom we don't want to be hostage to.
So even from a psychological standpoint, my dear brothers and sisters, just cut off that grief. Just
get rid of it. Have your heart clean and pure so that you can enjoy this world and the next and then
of course from the Islamic perspective, realize that when you give up that pain and that anger,
		

			ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala will give you much more. It is true that Revenge is sweet, but the reward
from Allah is sweeter. And this is what we need to realize and believe my dear brothers and sisters
that Allah says in the Quran from an alpha will also have a Jew who and Allah whoever forgives and
men's Allah will reward him Allah says in the Quran will enter for Accra Buddha Taqwa if you forgive
that is closer to piety. Allah says in the Quran or in tofu for in Allah Allah for Rahim if you
forgive then Allah is afford Rahim and Allah said to Abu Bakr Why don't you forgive him? Allah to a
boon and yellowfin Allahu Allah come? Don't you want Allah to forgive you? My dear brothers and
		

			sisters realize the more you forgive others, the more Allah will forgive you and that should be our
main incentive to keep on forgiving because will Allah He if ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala were not to
forgive us what are we going to do? So the more we are forgiving to others, the more ALLAH SubhanA
wa Tada will forgive us. And I conclude by quoting a beautiful Hadith of the process in this regard
narrated in Sahih Muslim that our prophets I send them said that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala only
increases in honor the servant of his who keeps on forgiving when you forgive you are not the weaker
you are the stronger This is what our process and I'm said Allah will only increase you and is when
		

			you practice lawful, fraud and alpha when you forgive you are not the weaker party Wallah you are
