I Forgive You

 

“I forgive you” said and meant from the heart and witnessed by Allah and His Angels, is one of the greatest gift any person can give or be given.

 

Yes, that I have resolved not to be amongst those who will stand with you before Allah on the day of Judgement laying claim for retribution, nor be a reason that Allah will say to you, “I came seeking and you turned me back”. Is not out of fear or weakness but out of great inner strength and an ever increasing need to be closer to Allah.

 

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever suffers an injury and forgives (the person responsible), God will raise his status to a higher degree and remove one of his sins.” Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 998

 

Indeed, a Heavy burden I have taken off the forgiven if they but knew, and no greater love, compassion, mercy and brotherliness can be shown to anyone, no greater display of courage than that of the forgiver, for it is hard to forgive, to let the pain, anguish, humiliation, ridicule and much more all go, but then the peace that comes with it knows no bounds, the rewards are without horizons.

 

Yes, I forgive you and bear no grudges and Yes, you did not ask for it and probably do not care for now if I do forgive you or not. Yes, it was not easy and Yes, I am at peace with myself, more focused and trusting that Allah will reward me bountifully, so much richer I am in self-esteem and honour for I found myself giving for the sake of Allah, not minding you and your antics.

“Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; but turn away from the ignorant”(1) [Quran 7:199 Yusuf Ali Translation]

 

(1)[Allah comforts the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu alaihi wasallam and directs his mind to three precepts: (1) to forgive injuries, insults, and persecution; (2) to continue to declare the faith that was in him, and not only to declare it, but to act up to it in all his dealings with friends and foes; (3) to pay no attention to ignorant fools, who raised doubts or difficulties, hurled taunts or reproaches or devised plots to defeat the truth: they were to be ignored and passed by, not to be engaged in fights and fruitless controversies, or conciliated by compromises.]

 

I do not know what tomorrow holds or if tomorrow would be mine, but I know Allah who holds tomorrow, I believe in HIM and put my trust, aspirations, guidance, protection and all in HIM.

 

Indeed Allah has said “Let not those among you who are endued with grace and amplitude of means resolve by oath against helping their kinsmen those in want and those who have left their homes in Allah’s cause: let them forgive and overlook: do you not wish that Allah should forgive you? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful” [Quran 24:22 Yusuf Ali Translation]

 

So Sir, Madam, Leader of mine, friend of mine, brother of mine, sister of mine, spouse of mine, you who has chosen me as your enemy, you who took out your frustration on me, you who cheated me, extorted & lied to me and yes you who was hypocritical and back biting towards me, all of you and those who might feel I did not mention their crimes and trespasses done to me knowingly or by error, I Forgive You!
