The Love of Allah for Forgiveness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And He loves forgiveness (Mighty and Majestic). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught the Mother of the Believers, Aishah, to say: “O Allah, You are the Forgiver and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.” “You love forgiveness” means that He forgives the servants, or that He forgives the servants and that the servants forgive one another?
Answer : Both matters are the case. He loves to forgive His servant, and He loves for the servant to forgive his brothers. Allah the Exalted said: “Indeed, your wealth and your children are a trial for you,” and Allah the Exalted said:[At-Taghabun 64:14]
Answer : Both matters are the case. He loves to forgive His servant, and He loves for the servant to forgive his brothers. Allah the Exalted said: “Indeed, your wealth and your children are a trial for you,” and Allah the Exalted said:
But if you pardon and overlook and forgive - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
وَإِن تَعْفُوا وَتَصْفَحُوا وَتَغْفِرُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
