Forgiveness Has Many Rewards By Liyakat Shah
In the
Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Forgiveness implies a fact not to
retaliate against any acts of a person. The person or a people may have only
one intension to abuse, torture and insult others. But people who are very much
patience with their nature and behavior never fall to such circumstances. In
spite of such ill treatment a person who adopts the path of forgiveness is
really a winner, who defeats the opponent mere just by silence in spite of
violence and insult from other side. Forgiveness has very important place in
Islam and only those people would be benefited who either experiment these
principle of forgiveness in their life or get desired results without any
quarrels and conflicts. Forgiving a person does not make a person defeated or
small but on the contrary it defeats the opponent and makes us proud that we
have not appreciated violence and defeated the measures of devil that is
shaytan who wants just quarrels and conflicts among two or more Muslim brothers
and sisters. Forgiveness is not a small act but it would make you get reward
from God. Forgiveness is experimented only by those people who understand it
and its consequences. For them present world has no importance they think about
the world hereafter. For them quarrels and envy has no place in their dwellings
and just live a simple life.
Remember forgiving a person who has abused or
tortured us is not an easy job and takes big decisions to take from our heart
both are exactly opposites of each other one has violence and other has
non-violence. The principle of forgiveness was best seen, preached and
practiced by Holy Prophet Mohammad (Peace and Blessings upon Him) and His
companions. Forgiveness has best rewards for a person who experiment it in his
or her life.
Allah says in Holy Quran
"Pardon (people) and overlook
(their faults). Don't you love that Allah should forgive you." (24:22)
"(The dutiful are) those who
restrain their anger and pardon people Allah loves those who do good to
others." (3:134)
"Whenever they (true believers)
are angry they forgive." (42:37)
"The recompense of evil is
punishment like it. But whoever forgives (an evil committed against himself)
and amends (matters), his reward is with Allah. . . . Whoever is patient and
forgives that is a matter of great resolution." (42:40, 43)
When
the Holy Prophet Muhammad defeated his enemies in Makka and returned to that
city as its conqueror, he forgave them in the following words
"No reproof be against you this
day; Allah may forgive you, and He is the most Merciful of those who show
mercy." (12:92)
May Allah Subhano Watala give us
Hidayat to forgive people and their faults. Ameen.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala
Have Mercy & Blessings upon Me & whole Ummah forgive all our
minor and major sins and get a place in Jannatul Firdaus
