Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin today's episode with what our brother 'Abd al-Ilah from Jeddah sent. He asks, "Shaykh Salih, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted, 'And if you forgive…'[At-Taghabun 64:14] He asks: What is the degree of forgiveness and pardon in the life of a Muslim toward his brothers who have wronged him?"
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2] And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. There is no doubt that the degree of pardon and forgiveness among Muslims is a great degree, by virtue of Islamic brotherhood and by virtue of good character. There is no doubt that a person will face some things that he may not want, or that affect him, but he is patient and forgives and pardons the one from whom it happened.
This is what is required by brotherhood in Islam, and what is required to spread love among Muslims. It may happen, meaning, that things occur between people, between brothers, and there is some harshness in them, but he takes forgiveness and pardon, which makes him forget these things and they go away with no trace of them. Yes.
