Forgiveness
Written by : MoodyGirlNo, I did not say it is easy to forgive when someone do something bad to you, cheat or betray you, harm or hurt you, lie to you or manipulate you, it’s “because” it’s very difficult to forgive that the reward is unlimited from Allah Almighty :-)
The pain someone cause us is sometimes not bearable, N no matter how much we try we just can’t let the pain go, N because we can’t let the pain go it get even more tough to forgive the one who cause this hurt. Sometimes it’s not our “Zaat” that they hurt, it’s about the pain the suffer they made our beloved go though that makes the forgiveness part even worse N harder, maybe we would have forgive N forget if it was all about us, but we just can’t deal with the fact that our dear ones our nearest also had to go through the pain N that they also shed tears for our sake because of that someone who didn’t thought the slightest before doing something so harmful N broke the pure heart.
Now, when that is said; What I think of is, we Muslims believe that everything that happened happens for a reason N for the better, Allah the merciful knows all the secrets behind everything, we humans can not now why what happened, until later in life. So, keeping the grudge N not letting go of the pain would maybe be like not trusting Allah completely? or what? . . am not sure! Basically by forgiving who do we set free? none other than ourselves. (I wish we can get the ability to see the benefits of forgiving in a time when we really need it) The thing is the one who have done something wrong N bad to us, will not get peace until the day of judgment, no matter how hard they try to “act” happy happy – lucky – blessed, the truth is that they will be reminded all the time for the something they have done to anyone, for the pain they’ve cause – this is just the start of the punishment I guess – N beside we shall keep in mind that day of justice the day of judgment is gonna be very tough on everyone.
We can’t expect Allah’s forgiveness, unless we also forgive those who do wrong to us. I fully understand N totally agree that it’s not easy, but then again what is easy in life? This life is through out at test an exam from Allah, N no exam is ever easy, it’s not suppose to be so. This reward of pain is for those who obey Allah N are on the right path, but still get hurt, for them indeed Allah have the reward. But, for those who get hurt while doing something they were not supposed to do, N that act itself is wrong Islamically, prohibited from Allah Almighty, well for them; ALLAH knows best. One thing is for sure; Doing something that is prohibited by Allah N expecting good result, is like fooling yourself. N wise people don’t fool themselves, life is tooo short for that :-)
In the Qur’an Allah has described the Believers as “those who avoid major sins and acts of indecencies and when they are angry they forgive.” (ash-Shura 42: 37) Later in the same Surah Allah says, “The reward of the evil is the evil thereof, but whosoever forgives and makes amends, his reward is upon Allah.” (al-Shura 42: 40) In another place the Qur’an says, “If you punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith you were afflicted. But if you endure patiently, indeed it is better for the patient. Endure you patiently. Your patience is not except through the help of Allah.” (an-Nahl:126-127)
I read something on a blog of a very very dear blogger fellow, N just had to pen down my thoughts on it hmmm. I believe all pains are different N so therefore their time of healing are as different, I pray to Allah the merciful that he give peace to every heart N give them the strength to forgive so that they shall move on with life, leaving the all pain behind, what they take with them is only the lesson learned. Insha-Allah. :-)
