We cannot expect Allah’s forgiveness unless we also forgive those who do wrong to us. Forgiving each other, even forgiving one’s enemies is one of the most important Islamic teachings. 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)
Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said that Allah has commanded him about nine things; one of them he mentioned was “that I forgive those who do wrong to me.”

When I’ve already forgiven that person but later does something to make me wish I hadn’t done so. I can’t find it in me to allow myself to constantly be hurt, especially if its by the people I deeply care about. I don’t give too many chances, though I will try for the sake of the Almighty Allah (swt) to be forgiving and merciful. Holding grudges truly never served much of a purpose anyway, just brought more misery….
Thanks for sharing.
when i have a grudge against someone( i think to myself do i want to be forgiven, if Allah(SWT) can be Merciful and forgive people, then i could do the same) i am not better than Allah so why cant i forgive that person? So i forgive that person because i would want Allah to forgive me if i was in a similar situation.
