Assalamu Alaikum,
Great article. Thank you for the reminder. Alhumdulillah, it was by watching Dr. Phil on Oprah that I decided to forgive someone who has hurt me deeply. Dr. Phil said, the forgiveness is for yourself not for others. Allah wants us to forgive for our own sake not for others’ sake. I experienced such a coolness in my heart the night I decided to let go. Now, it doesn’t even bother me when I’m reminded of the offense this person committed to cause my relations with others to be in ruins. What this person has done can’t be rectified and I’ve to live with the damage. I feel sorry for this person especially since this person can’t express remorse to me or even others. I know that in Allah’s eyes, I’m the winner insha’Allah because I overcame the feeling of self pity and now I pity my oppressor.

I feel like there are people in the world that don’t know the that their words can hurt other. For those individuals that do not have a filter and say hurtful things to others, is it truly so bad to make them understand by giving them a ‘ taste of their medicine’ i alpologize, i dont sound to mean rude.

ASAK,

Thank you so much for showing the righteous path of Islaam but can you imagine the pain of hurt that someone can give you. Sometimes, people destroy the families that leads to people’s lives as well. Does all their deed deserves forgiveness….. So, the person who hurts others is always happy, do wrong and still be happy and receive greetings from all sources.

Why should u forgive someone who has oppressed you and broke u and made u cry endless nights of tears? It’s is ur right to not forgive them. It’s better for u if u forgive but if u have been oppressed in such a way u can’t then don’t feel guilty! It’s is ur right from Allah. I will never ever forgive my oppressors and I will never make dua that they change. The more people they oppress the more duas they will get from those they oppressed and the oppressors life will be in tatters. And so it should be. They need to get punished for the things they have done. And those are such filthy oppressors that they don’t realise what they have done nor do they care. I hope Allah makes me laugh the day I hear that they or a member of their family goes through what I went through – what goes around comes around. Whatever good or bad u do u shall see it.

The article is great but I do have a query. What if the oppressor asks for forgiveness and I do forgive. But what if he/she doesn’t change their actions and behaviour. Maybe their intent at the time of asking for forgiveness was true but they can’t seem to change or control themselves. What are you to do then?? Thank you
