Dear friends,
I would like to share with you a piece of article, which i came across a few weeks earlier. I 'd like to think that i have become a better person since that day. The blue paragraph really touch my soul .. i hope it will touch yours too.
The Article:One of the moral traits recommended in the Qur’an is forgiveness. In a Qur’anic verse, Almighty Allah commands:
[Hold to forgiveness, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant.] (Al-A`raf 7: 199)
In another verse, He also commands:
[…Let them forgive and overlook, do you not wish that Allah should forgive you?] (An-Nur 24:22)
Those who do not abide by the moral values of the Qur’an find it very difficult to forgive others. That is because they are easily angered by any error committed. However, Almighty Allah has advised the faithful that forgiveness is more proper; He says:[...If a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah…] (Ash-Shura 42:40)
[…But if ye forgive and overlook, and cover up (their faults), verily Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful..] (Al-Mumtahanah 64:14)
It has also been revealed in the Qur’an that forgiveness is a superior moral trait. A Qur’anic verse reads:
[And whoever is patient and forgiving, these most surely are actions due to courage..] (Ash-Shura 42:43)
For that reason, believers are forgiving, compassionate and tolerant people who, as revealed in the Qur’an, [control their rage and pardon other people.] (Aal `Imran 3:134)
