Forgive And Ask For Forgiveness

In our lives, we come across many people. We do dealings with many people both at the personal level and the professional level.  We start developing grudges due to someone’s attitude or any other reason.  This grudge starts turning into aversion and even if the person has no concern with your life now, the grudge still remains in your heart. This person could be your relative, friend, or even a family member.  Having negative feelings or thoughts towards another human being is not healthy both in religious and social terms.
Having a forgiving nature is a major blessing from Allah SWT. Those people who don’t have the capability to forgive are always in some state of mental war with their own selves as well as others. People who forgive others easily are in my opinion, very courageous people.   It takes a little bit of effort and a lot of faith and patience to forgive people that have wronged you in anyway. I can understand it’s a difficult task but it is not impossible.
In our daily lives, we make many mistakes and then we ask forgiveness from our Creator. Doesn’t Alllah SWT forgive and then keeps on blessing us? We always want to be forgiven, don’t we? Then let’s develop the habit of having a forgiving nature. Let go of things that have hurt you.  
Take a moment now and forgive all your family, friends, colleagues, strangers and anyone in your life whom you felt has hurt you or wronged you in anyway.  And most importantly, Ask forgiveness from Allah SWT ALWAYS. You never know on the Day of Judgment, this act may do wonders for you as well the other person, In Shaa’ Allah. Ameen. Sum Ameen.
I hope and pray that we all develop a forgiving nature. May Allah SWT forgive us all. Ameen.
